Performance benchmarking
As a member of IMRG you can benchmark your performance in over 120 KPIs to help you understand where you are strong, and where you are lagging behind the competition.
Our KPIs include growth rates, conversion rates and basket values for multiple sectors and devices (desktop, smartphone and tablet) as well as category-specific metrics covering website performance, customer acquisition & retention, commercial, order fulfilment, geographical split, marketing performance and channels.
If you choose to contribute your own data to our indexes, you’ll also receive a personalised benchmarking report each month comparing your performance against that of your competitors (anonymously).

- Reports - tackling the issues and themes that are front-of-mind for our retailers
- Data analysis - delving into the latest trends emerging from the data we track
- Insight articles - best practice information on how to improve performance in a number of areas
-

- Connect - full-day conferences where experts share best practice
- Retailer roundtables - open sessions for small numbers of retailers from different sectors to share experiences and learn from each other
- Data briefings - focused briefings to help you understand emerging trends for your sector
- Campaign groups - focused on developing solutions to key issues facing the industry
