Shows what the other 80+ million pay attention to, before it reaches your stores.
Illustrative: multi-brand retailer, Germany.

Stores, shop, app and members. Your own performance placed inside that picture, so your KPIs finally get a market denominator.
Coverage is the first link to revenue
Revenue starts as attention, grows into interest and becomes a business opportunity, but only where your communication shows up. Interest you do not cover never becomes your opportunity. It becomes someone else’s.
Who gets seen
Reach and share of voice across 2,500+ brands and 25 online channels, paid and earned read separately.
Which occasions and styles are gaining reach right now?
What people reward
Audience response, not post volume: the need states people reward. This is what your coverage is measured against.
Do people reward styling advice, or only discounts?
What nobody serves yet
Rising interest that few brands claim, plus timing windows like Black Week or season starts.
Which services do people want that few retailers offer?
What you book
Store, online and app sales from your own systems, joined with the market read to close the loop.
Did footfall, member sign-ups and sell-through follow?
