When considering which retail consulting firm to choose from, the firm’s mission, ability, and experience must be evaluated. At G & Co., we offer a wide range of services – from being a UX/UI design deliverable partner to data benchmarking and market & competition mapping, to offering actionable insight sand developing strategic roadmaps that help brands achieve their missions. Our wide range of services and abilities are backed by years of experience within the retail & consumer goods and apparel, fashion, luxury industries, combined with a diverse set of analytical and creative talent.
While there are many retail consulting firms available, we deeply believe that by keeping the optimal customer experience in mind, we can help brands accomplish their goals while ultimately satisfying the consumer – a feat we strive for within any engagement. If you represent a retail & consumer goods or apparel, fashion, luxury brand seeking retail consulting backed by robust experience, reach out to us at hello@g-co.agency or submit a request form.
Most retail consulting firms charge an hourly fee for each engagement with the motive of making as much money from their clients as possible. At G & Co., we detest this model as it becomes easy for these retail consultancies to deceive their clients by falsifying the amount of hours they worked – ultimately causing the client to pay for work that was not actually performed. Instead, we price each engagement fairly depending on the scope of work for a particular engagement and agree on intermediate payout points throughout the project. By charging our clients in this way, the amount of money each engagement costs is negotiated up-front and our clients can rest assured that they are receiving quality retail consulting without being charged for additional work.
While there are many key performance indicators (KPIs) that retail & consumer goods and apparel, fashion, luxury brands track, our consulting tactics focus on improving conversion rates, customer acquisition, and customer retention. With our primary goal of enhancing the customer experience for our clients, we feel that these KPIs are the most useful in determining the success of our consulting efforts as they are directly correlated to an intriguing, memorable, and familiar customer-brand interaction.
At G & Co., we believe that consulting experience begets a reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable retail consultant. Experience is not the only factor in determining the success of a consultant, however. The philosophy behind our retail consulting methodology is based on our ability to assess the objectives of our clients, advising them on whether or not a particular want will translate into accomplishing a mission, and prioritizing which actions should take place to reach their goals.
Our vast amount of experience has allowed us to gain substantial knowledge within the retail space which we deploy in every engagement. Each project gives us the opportunity to learn something new about the retail & consumer goods and apparel, fashion, luxury industries. If you represent a retail & consumer goods and apparel, fashion, luxury brand and are in need of experience-backed consulting services, we would love to hear from you!

As a holistic retail consulting firm, we have a wide variety of experience with all types of retail brands from apparel, fashion, and luxury to consumer goods brands. Our definition of a consumer goods brand is one that produces, promotes, and sells a variety of goods that individuals and households purchase and use on a daily basis. These consumer goods include packaged food items, cleaning products, makeup, etc. Some popular consumer goods brands we have worked with and admire include Target, Walmart, Apostrophe, and Nestle SA.
In the general sense, retailers are a collection of brands or products that align with themselves with a refined, specialized, and bespoke brand vision. Retailers use strategic marketing and branding tactics to enhance brand positioning – ultimately creating a cohesive and memorable brand and customer experience for the consumer. The foundation of brand positioning for retailers is influenced by propositions offered by brands, such as quality, exclusivity, legacy, specialty, etc. – all of which make up a retailer’s brand identity. Consumers become familiar with and begin to trust a retailer, subsequently increasing customer loyalty and retention.
In the current digital age of online shopping, the nuance of brand positioning for retailers has become especially reliant on a retailer’s eCommerce efforts to keep brand identity strong and customers satisfied. G & Co.’s experience in assisting brands with creating bespoke eCommerce products is central to our mission of delivering excellent customer experiences for each touch point between brand and consumer.
Generally, we believe that a streamlined, cohesive, and familiar customer experience is the most important facet of sustaining a retailer’s brand identity and upholding customer acquisition and retention. We offer consulting services for each part of the retail experience, from retailers to the brands they promote, to assist retailers in accomplishing their overall missions.
At large, the apparel, fashion, luxury industries encompass an array of brands that produce a variety of products ranging from clothing items, to jewelry, to sportswear and beyond.
