Retail

Retailing consists of the sale of goods or merchandise, and includes two basic forms of retailers: wholesale and specialty. Wholesale retailers, also known as ""big box"" retailers or department stores sell a wide variety of items at discounted prices, while specialty retailers offer a limited scope of products in order to serve a smaller market more effectively. KPIs focus on measuring the volume of sales, turnover and efficiency.
