隨著國民開始注重休閒的消費習慣和外食族的增加成為了平價咖啡成長的動力,在85度C和City Café相繼掀起平價咖啡的旋風後,更使得現煮咖啡成為能在城市裡隨手取得的飲品,但不同的使用習慣與對咖啡的不同的飲用程度,皆可能是造成消費者在商店選擇上有不同的差異。另外,過去許多研究已有探討連鎖咖啡的商店印象,但很少研究探討平價現煮咖啡商店印象對顧客忠誠度之影響。本研究採用問卷調查方式進行調查,抽樣大台北地區平價咖啡連鎖店的消費者,總計發出300份問卷,有效問卷241份,有效回收率為80.3%。統計分析結果發現:(1)消費者的咖啡飲用程度不同,在商店印象重視度與滿意度皆達顯著性差異,輕度飲用者與中度飲用者較重度飲用者更重視實體和價格因素;(2)消費者對咖啡的使用習慣不同,在商店印象重視度達顯著性差異,大多外帶與兩者皆有的消費者比大多內用更重視便利性;(3)商店印象對顧客忠誠度有顯著的正向影響,並發展與驗證了連鎖平價咖啡商店印象與顧客忠誠度的成功模式。本研究並針對研究發現在理論與實務之涵義進行討論。
