高庫存一直是台灣內衣業者長期以來面臨的問題。造成高庫存的主要原因是因為女性內衣的產品生命週期較為短暫。這使得內衣業者無法較精準的預估新產品的需求量。目前預購策略漸漸受到大眾的歡迎，賣家可以利用預購策略進而預先得知市場需求，並使用預先得知的資訊改善高庫存的問題。本研究的目的在於探討台灣女性內衣實施預購策略之可行性與探討執行此策略之必要的條件。本研究是以網路問卷進行調查。問卷的架構是著重於四大方向：產品、品牌、顧客服務與促銷活動，並包含31項變數。結果顯示，假若有吸引人的促銷活動，近六成的女性消費者願意考慮預購；不考慮的原因則是因為產品無法試穿及必須另外花費時間於退回不滿意的產品。本研究發現有14項因素對於女性消費者預購意願的影響極為重要，平均值都高於4。在這14項因素裡，女性消費者最注重售後服務：產品不滿意可退換貨及提供簡單便利的退換貨的流程。除了售後服務外，產品的品質、專櫃小姐的知識與態度、遞貨服務及品牌商譽也都相當重要。此外，在預購期間，提供較優惠的價格或買衣送褲最為吸引。唯一顯示較無影響性是名人代言。這是唯一的一項因素其平均值低於中間值（＜2.5）。本研究的結論將有助於台灣內衣業者推出內衣預購。在推出內衣預購活動時，內衣業者需將被評估極為重要的因素納入考量。

High level of inventory has been a problem for the underwear industry in Taiwan for a long period of time. This is mainly because the product life cycle of female underwear is relatively short, which makes it difficult for the underwear firms to gauge the demand for the new released product accurately. Pre-order strategy has become increasingly popular as the seller can obtain advance demand information and use the information to improve the inventory planning. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of implementing pre-order strategy for female branded underwear in Taiwan and to explore the necessary conditions. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted online. The questionnaire was built upon four major constructs: product, brand, customer service and sales promotion, with thirty-one variable included. The results revealed almost 60% women would consider pre-order if the pre-order sales is implemented with attractive sales promotions. Others would not consider because they cannot try on and the time must be spent for returning dissatisfied product. Fourteen variables were found to be significantly important in influencing female consumers’ pre-order intention with means over 4. Female consumers were most concerned with after-sales services: a full money back guarantee, and an easy return procedure. Other than after-sales services, product quality, the knowledge and attitude of salespersons, delivery services, and brand credibility were also found to be important. In addition, lower price in pre-order period and free underpants were found to be most attracting. The only variable that appeared to be less influential was the celebrity endorsement, which was the only factor rated below neutral mean (<2.5). The findings of this research provide useful information to underwear firms for promoting pre-order sales. Underwear firms must be aware of those necessary conditions in implementing pre-order strategy.
