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.

How much does a retail consultant charge?

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.

What are the KPIs tracked in retail consulting?

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.

How do you measure the success of a retail consultant?

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!
