I assume you mean does opening a new store affect the number of customers who come into nearby Starbucks stores and buy drinks.\n\nThe only people who can definately answer that question are Starbucks.  Every time their CEO does anything public he is asked what affect all these new stores has on business at existing stores.  They keep saying that there is absolutely no impact.  The new stores are busy and there is no reduction in customers coming into existing stores.  I heard an interview recently where the CEO said that they had done studies and found that some customers would not even cross the street to buy a coffee.  If there was a shop on their side of the street they would come in, otherwise they would not.  Therefore they think there is still plenty of opportunities for them to build new stores without affecting business at existing stores.\n\nIf you want to find more information go look at the Investor Relations section of the Starbucks website.  They wont release sales figures but you should be able to find more details.

I think I know what you're asking so here's a stab at an answer:\nEquity means asset so the question asks how Loreal can use their existing brand asset to create (what I assume to be further) brand recognition.\n\nA possible answer to this would be to link current products that have strong sales with other newer products.  Loreal is really big on the retail make up industry, but lets say they also want to venture into the fragrance/perfume industry.  They could combine this new product with their make up product to let people know that they are now making fragrances as well.  Usually this is done when the parent company Loreal has a smaller subsidiary releasing a diferent product.  This would be one way that uses their current brand equity (name recognition) and allows them to propogate that to create increased brand recognition, either for another product Loreal is selling or another subsidiary owned by Loreal.  \n\nHope you found something useful in this

As opposed to what?  What are you selling?  Maybe there's no benefit to your particular product!  Maybe it's the best idea for your product!  Do you even have a product (as opposed to a service)?  If you want a sensible answer, ask a sensible question!  And by that I mean: Give more details, background information and such.

Drinking any of these beverages would not be better than others in any way although it's widely prescribed that tea and real cocoa is healthy for you.  Of course, the key is moderation and not over consuming any of these beverages in large amounts.  Unfortunately we're all use to 32oz coffees at Starbucks so that might be why coffee is considered "bad".\n\nI've linked some articles below that describes benefits for each type of beverage.  I've chosen only article from reputable sources (as opposed to those who are selling products) so I hope you find some use out of it all.

a company that has a patent on the make up of a certain product.\n\nsuch as coca cola - if they ever told all the ingredients in the actual proportion, it could be duplicated

I order Starbucks to close down NOW!\n\nActually, they are brilliant--getting suckers to pay three bucks for a 25 cent cup of coffee.

Starbucks gift cards! It's simple, yet something that almost everyone can relate to.

I think it is asking for you to just "purchase" five items and to put the number of each item you purchase in the IQ column. and in the next situation you will get to the MQ part.\n\nExample.\n2 Can of Coke\n1 Snikers Bar\n2 Carton of Milk\n\nYou can purchase five items.

Yeah, without knowing the product, there's not much one can offer for specific wording that will be helpful...  but there are several basic techniques that work for most situations.  I can tell you from experience what has worked best on AND FOR me!  :) .....\n\nFrom the start, be upbeat and enthusiastic about your company/product/service.  You can sell the hell outta anything you believe in.  If you don't believe in it, you won't have the same energy about it and neither will your customer.\n\nTalk about the wonders, versatility, features, convenience, usefulness, and neat little details of your product: works without fail!  saves time/work/money!  fits anywhere!  has it's own storage compartment!  comes in 6 popular colors!  comes with this or that little freebie!  performs 12 different household tasks and simultaneously makes the morning coffee too! LOL\n\nMake upbeat, polite conversation with them, and listen for any clues to ways that your product/service would fit into their life - kids, work, hobbies, busy life, student, new home owner, space concerns, etc.  If while you're chatting, they say anything that sounds like they are interested, like "Really?  Hmm, that sounds handy/cool/nice/useful/perfect..." or something else that sounds like you've got their attention, follow that line of conversation.\n\nIf they sound positive, agree with whatever they're saying!  If they have negative feedback, perhaps even with your company/product/service, say something to empathize, like "Wow, I'm sorry that happened..." then lead into suggestions of how you/your company/your product will serve to overcome that situation.\n\nWhen it sounds like you're convincing them that you're product/service is something they *might* want, close the sale by mentioning any "buy now" kinda benefits: sale going on, payment plan, deferred payments/interest, money-back guarantee, etc...\n\nSMILE while you're talking to them!  Studies show that your entire demeanor and tone change if you're not smiling, and WILL affect the customer's response to you.\n\nGood luck, and happy selling!  :)
