Welcome to the Retail HealthCheck Online. Here you'll find information and resources for prospective retail research, or data and reports for existing clients, as well as news and new modular research or analysis techniques to further your understanding of your retail environment.

•

The RHK is a series of 10 market research elements compiled to create a complete picture of any fluid retail environment such as a Farmers' Market or Farm Shop. Any retail environment can be fully measured, analysed and benchmarked. •

It was developed by Lloyds Europa in 2004 with aid from OSU and was first piloted in Winchester, June ’04 at the FARMA national farmers’ markets conference • •

Over 30 conducted across GB to date

The data gathered in a RHCK from a single market pinpoints strengths and weaknesses of the market, ways forward, and in the past conclusions and improvements have tended to be drawn within minutes of seeing the results.
