Retail Revenue Diversification

Executive Summary Retailers today are challenged like never before to grow revenue while managing rising costs, evolving regulations, and labor availability. Given this environment, retailers must diversify their revenue streams as traditional growth strategies are no longer enough. Revenue diversification can include B2C revenue streams, such as offering new products outside the core business, as well as B2B revenue streams, such as data monetization. By strategically diversifying revenue streams, retailers can more successfully attract new customers, build stronger brand loyalty, and ultimately achieve sustainable growth. In a study commissioned by Mastercard, Forrester surveyed 326 decision-makers at retailers in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific to assess their priorities, challenges, and opportunities driving growth by diversifying revenue.
