What is Retail Analysis?

Retail analysis is a critical tool for businesses looking to stay ahead of their competition in today’s fast-paced retail environment. Retailers need to be able to analyse their own data and gather relevant information to make better business decisions about their operations and target performance efforts.

This can involve analysing consumer buying patterns, customer trends, examining sales trends over time, or assessing the effectiveness of various marketing campaigns.
