Beginning with a strategic planning meeting with the store owner, an RDA staff member will then review and evaluate the store exterior, store interior, product merchandising, staff and customer service. A wrap-up meeting with the store owner will follow the store evaluation. RDA will then prepare for you a comprehensive written analysis, including specific recommendations to improve the overall look and operation of the store. Easily affordable, the Store Review and Evaluation is your next step to take if you desire to develop a winning plan for unlocking the full potential of your retail store.
