to their financial performance in 2016. The results are as
follows:
o Leaders – We define a Leading Retailer as one who claimed that
their 2016 revenues would represent growth of 5% or more. This
comprised 30% of the retailer pool for this study.
o Average Retailers – We define an Average Retailer as one who
claimed that their 2016 revenues represented growth of between 0%
and 5% from their 2015 revenues. This group consisted of 38% of the
retailer pool for this study.
o Below-Average Retailer – We define a Below-Average Retailer as
one who claimed that their 2016 revenues were flat or declined. This
group consisted of 32% of the retailer pool for this study.
