Imagine your interviewer says: "Your client is a traditional luxury fashion brand with 200 physical boutiques. Their sales are flat, and their online boutique contributes only 5% of revenue, while competitors see 35% online. The Board wants to know how to capture this e-commerce opportunity without destroying their exclusive physical brand equity."

Why This Matters for Consulting Interviews

Retail cases test your understanding of real-world metrics like foot traffic, shopping basket size, inventory holding costs, and digital CAC/LTV.
