The luxury goods industry faces unprecedented change. The pace at which a company identifies and acts upon changes in the marketplace will separate the future market leaders from the rest.

With the introduction of the LGI Network's retail measurement services (RMS), broad and detailed consumer purchase information is now available to the industry for the first time. Access to timely information is critical to effective decision making. LGI's information will provide an alternative to the the intuition-driven decision making retailers, brands and industry suppliers rely on today. Each party will dramatically improve its decision making -- leading to more efficient and profitable businesses. As always, the consumer marketplace will reward those companies that understand and deliver what it wants - and punish those that do not. Companies that embrace the information that LGI provides will gain a distinct competitive advantage.
