Some key determinants of a successful social media promotional campaign is measuring brand reach or viewers, and the level of engagement interacting with the promotional message. Level of influence can inspire followers to take some kind of action such as engaging with your message or making a purchase.

My project will be on the differences between Peet’s Coffee and Dunkin Doughnuts. I have pondered about what makes these coffee shops different from one another. During my exploration on Wabash Avenue, I came to the conclusion that location is important regarding customer population in stores. I also realized the importance of customers, customer service, store management, and store atmosphere. Because of my project I got to understand what my topic truly was.

Throughout time though, I realized that I would discuss how the effect of a store’s environment depends more on the store’s management than the location itself.

If someone claims they are a coffee drinker and go to Starbucks every morning, chances are they do not know much about coffee and they are more likely to get an espresso drink rather than a cup of coffee. Why? Because Starbucks is not known or praised for their coffee like they use to be. Their signature trademark is their latte macchiato’s, caramel frappucino’s, and random coffee themed objects and items that have turned this once original coffee shop, more into an expensive superstore full of gifts and three month old vacuumed sealed beans. Order a medium, excuse me, I mean “grande” coffee, and the barista will look at you as if you just got out of the loony bin. Peet’s Coffee and Tea, a corporate

With most of the world basically running on coffee, you have more and more different places to buy your coffee every day. Trying to narrow down your options to find the best coffee can seem like a nightmare. The two main and most popular coffee corporations to choose from would be Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks.

Like all public companies, annual and quarterly financial statements are required to allow regulators and other interested parties to analyze the financial status and management decision making of the company.
