Methodology
RNG helps its clients spot, explain and commercialize the most important trends, first and best.
Our methodology: We begin with a solid understanding of those market, consumer, shopper, brand owner and competitive trends shaping each market. Then, using our panel of the highest growth and earning retailers, we document the growth strategies each has implemented in its leading markets.
Our retail leader panel includes only those retailers (or “banners”) that:
- Grow @ 2x’s the average global retail rate (ex automobiles and gas) and earn a CFROI that exceeds 2x the global average or
- Are a best practice private retailer that are known to be growing faster than the markets in which they compete or demonstrate best ideas or practices, in a particular strategy.
