Retailer Definition
NRF defines a retailer as a company whose core business is to sell consumer goods directly to the end consumer via storefront, catalog, television, or online. (Chain restaurants are included in this definition.) The company must own the merchandise it sells. Companies primarily engaged in the sale of goods or services to businesses (whether at wholesale or retail) are not considered retailers. Additional clarification on retailer status.

Consumer Packaged Goods – CPG Company Definition
NRF defines a CPG company as a company that sells (typically on a wholesale basis to retailers) non-durable goods that are consumed by the average consumer at a relatively low cost. Examples include goods such as soft drinks, toiletries, and grocery items.

Store Design Firm Definition
NRF defines a store design firm as a company whose chief business is to provide strategic store design impacting the brand and future growth of the company in the original design of new spaces and the redesign of existing spaces. The company derives the majority of its revenue from store design.

Visual Merchandising Firm Definition
NRF defines a visual merchandising firm as a company that deals with the creative and strategic visual presentation of products and services in any retail environment.
