RPI Pillar Importance and Model Outcomes
The bottom line is that retailers with stronger RPI scores experience better long-term growth and do it with a value proposition that customers love. This means that growth is much more likely to be sustainable.
Over the past 5 years, top quartile QSRs have seen their foot traffic grow by an average of 5.9% per year, compared to only 0.2% growth for bottom quartile QSRs and 1.8% growth for third quartile retailers. This equates to, on average, 6x times faster growth than most retailers in the market. Top quartile QSRs also secure superior trust, attachment (sad if closed), and draw with its customers.
