The annual RēCo Market Intelligence Report has held strong for 15 years. This year, we had our largest group of respondents in history — 1,124 retailers took valuable time out of their day to complete what is quite a lengthy survey. So first and foremost, thank you to those who responded for sharing your time, sales results and influencers with us. Your transparency is a testament to the close relationship we have with you and your candid responses — tabulated by our third-party research company The Wayman Group — help to provide a snapshot of what is happening on retail sales floors across the country.
