Ownership, not advice
We hold equity and operating responsibility in the brands we run. Recommendations we wouldn't act on ourselves don't leave the room.
Built to operate,
not to observe.
RH Research owns, manages, and supports ecommerce brands and operating businesses through strategic management, marketing, and administrative services.
Two ways in
We're either the owner or the retained management partner.
The bench
Strategy, demand generation, and administration handled by people who have run these functions inside real P&Ls — not a rotating roster of contractors.
The company
Who we are
RH Research exists because most small and mid-sized ecommerce businesses do not need another consultant — they need a management layer. Someone accountable for the plan, the marketing calendar, the vendor relationships, and the monthly close, all at once.
We fill that layer two ways. In some businesses we are the owner, holding the brand and running it directly. In others we are the retained management partner, working inside the operator's business under a defined scope.
Our productized engagements in the shop come out of that same bench: the work we found ourselves repeating across the portfolio, written down, scoped, and priced so an operator can buy exactly the part they need.
Four principles
How we operateEvidence before opinion
Customer language, unit economics, and channel data decide direction. Taste is applied after the numbers, never instead of them.
Boring executed well
Most value in a small business is unlocked by administration that never slips — reporting, renewals, reconciliation, and cadence.
Fixed scope, plain pricing
Engagements are defined and priced before work starts, so the conversation stays about outcomes rather than invoices.
