a sense of urgency to buy now
brand loyalty
price sensitivity
a desire for year - round availability
question 6
what is a significant risk or challenge associated with spirit halloweens seasonal business model?
high year - round rent costs
the need to hire and train a large, temporary workforce quickly
too much competition from other pop - up stores
difficulty finding products to sell

Explanation:

• For the first question: The temporary nature of the store creates a limited - time availability perception. Customers may feel that if they don't buy now, they won't be able to get the products later (since the store is only open for a short time around Halloween). This is related to the psychological principle of scarcity, which can induce a sense of urgency. Brand loyalty usually develops over long - term, repeated interactions, which is less likely with a temporary store. Price sensitivity is about how customers respond to price changes, not directly related to store temporariness. A desire for year - round availability contradicts the store's temporary nature.
• For the second question: Since the store is only open seasonally, it doesn't have high year - round rent costs (as it only rents for a short period). Pop - up stores in general may face competition, but it's not the most significant risk for a seasonal business model. Spirit Halloween is a well - known brand for Halloween products, so difficulty finding products to sell is not a major issue. However, hiring and training a large workforce quickly each season (as the store needs staff only for the Halloween period) is a significant operational challenge.

Answer:

• First question: A. A sense of urgency to buy now
• Second question: The need to hire and train a large, temporary workforce quickly
