What’s the importance of working with an apparel and retail consulting agency?

As both an eCommerce, design and development agency and an apparel and retail consulting firm, we are in a powerful position to help brands build comprehensive strategies tailor-made for them and the digital age. Our eCommerce and design capabilities are bolstered by our pursuit of results, continuously working to advance brands for the future ahead.

Our eCommerce background gives us a unique perspective on the needs a brand must meet to engage with consumers today. G & Co.’s work in the apparel and retail space has always been centered around one thing: creating for the optimal customer experience in mind. We believe that if we always remain focused on the consumer, we will succeed in delivering the kind of impact we strive to make on the world.

What are your areas of focus as an apparel and retail consultancy?

While G & Co. is a digital agency and a strategy consulting firm, user experience is at the heart of everything we do. All our projects revolve around delivering nothing but the most impactful result for clients, be it an online strategy, enterprise application development, or digital marketing—everything we do is made with the user in mind.

When it comes to our clients, we exert all avenues to ensure we bring forth the results brands need in a present-day strategy. We conduct user research, competitive analysis, product strategy, and digital evaluations for apparel and retail brands to help them succeed in the long run. And of course, because of our digital proficiency, we are experienced in executing the same ideas we provide through our strategy. Our difference as apparel and retail digital strategists is our capacity to bring concepts to life, and do so in a manner that best suits a brand’s goals for consistent prosperity.

What separates G & Co. from other apparel and retail consulting firms?

With so many excellent apparel and retail consultancies to choose from, it’s no doubt a little difficult to stand out. So how does G & Co. stand out? Simple. We’re both the strategists brands need and the people that can take an idea from concept to market. And as a group of apparel and retail consulting leaders that celebrates our wide range of skills, backgrounds, and competencies, you can be assured that we’re ready to help your brand shine through for years to come. 

We pride ourselves on the quality of our work, all the meticulous ideation and craft that goes behind it, and the strategies we outline for our clients. Everything we do is made with the ultimate customer experience in mind. Our creative and strategic skills applied together make for the perfect combination of planning and implementation that apparel and retail brands love to have to meet the demands of a rapidly changing market. At G & Co., you’ll have a UI/UX design and eCommerce firm, a digital marketing agency, and an apparel and retail consultancy all under one roof.

Can your apparel and retail consulting firm help with digital marketing and omnichannel strategy?

Absolutely! As an apparel and retail consulting firm and a holistic digital strategy agency, we are fully equipped to plan and deploy a brand’s digital marketing and omnichannel strategy.

We see ourselves as a direct link to our clients’ success because we think of ourselves as equal partners invested in their long-term goals. If you have a digital marketing need, or are looking to begin developing an omnichannel strategy, send us an email at hello@g-co.agency.

Do you do brand assessment, or should I hire a separate apparel and retail consulting firm?

Yes, G & Co. does brand assessment. We recognize that every brand at its core is a relationship with a promise to consumers; that promise tells people what they can expect from them, what makes them different from the rest, and ultimately reflects how people perceive a brand. Our brand assessment process evaluates a company’s strength by asking whether we meet the expectations we want to have and how we can elevate ourselves to a better vision. If you have a brand assessment or any other apparel and retail consulting need, please write us an email at hello@g-co.agency. 

How can I get a proposal for my project?

If you’re looking for an apparel and retail consulting agency, please send us an email first with a quick summary of your project or an RFI/RFP. We usually reply within 36 hours to schedule an introductory call and ask any immediate questions. During our first call, we will ask some questions about the project goals, audience, budget, timeline, and other essential details. Of course, we realize we will be discussing sensitive info, and we would be more than happy to sign an NDA if necessary, but our standard is to always treat all client conversations as confidential. Please feel free to contact other consultancies to compare their prices and brand approach. While many branding and apparel and retail consulting firms work by the hour, we try to estimate the project cost as precisely as possible before we start. After the call, we may request various documentation such as a brief, project requirements, past reports, etc. Our proposal will include a detailed description of our brand approach, project phases, activities, deliverables, and relevant case studies.

What process should I expect from your apparel and retail consulting agency?

Our process is based on the design thinking methodology, which allows us to be flexible, adapting to almost any project type and collaboration model. Of course, each engagement is unique, but we always go through the following key phases:  

‍Discovery & Research 
‍We usually start by consolidating all available project documentation and breaking down questions about your brand. During those sessions, we interview key stakeholders, collaborate on requirements, and ideate and plan the next steps. When possible, our strategists talk to your current or potential customers to understand their needs and pain points. In some cases, we may need to audit your existing strategy to identify opportunities for user experience improvements. We will also review competitor approaches, gather  references, and document best practices. 

‍Digital Strategy & Concepts
‍Based on the discovery & research results, we synthesize a digital strategy and define the approach to drive our process. Because we are a user experience agency at heart, we will explore different concepts to establish such core elements as information architecture, interactions, and future engagements. We then validate the resulting concept with users and stakeholders. Once the feedback is in, we make the necessary updates to design what our strategy will look like. 

What does G & Co. do, primarily?

G & Co. is an apparel and retail consultancy and a UI/UX web design and development agency. We consider ourselves an equal partner to our brands because we cater to any need an emerging brand or established name could need.

As an apparel and retail consulting agency, we work hard to ensure we do everything we can for our clients to be as suited as possible for the ever-changing consumer landscape. We recognize that the strongest brands today are those who have embraced the technologies of today and will adopt what consumers come to use. After all, the brands who want to redefine their industries are the ones who do. We pride ourselves on working with those brands and the people behind them. Because together, we can accomplish exceptional ambitions and create enduring results. 

And as a UI/UX web design and development agency, we can help implement the creative elements your brand needs to start making breakthroughs for the digital age.
