English
FOR provides annual statistical data of retail store performance, based on a survey of department stores and specialty stores. It provides expense trends for various categories of department stores and specialty stores, depending on sales volume—for example, what percent of total company net sales is devoted to advertising, credit management, payroll, and other expenses, for specialty stores with sales between $5 million and $20 million. FOR also offers industry averages of retail sales growth, operating performance, markdowns, inventory productivity & profitability, space productivity, expenses, average transaction size, payroll to gross margin, etc. NRF successfully self-published FOR for 68 years, selling between 500 and 700 copies each year, at $75 to $150 per copy, with very little marketing. There is a core market of finance professionals who need this annual survey of financial and operating results for the retail industry, and this unique publication fills that need.
