Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'retail' (selling to end consumers) modifies 'marketing' (promoting and selling), so the phrase denotes marketing aimed at retail consumers. This noun–noun combination follows a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrase retail marketing comes from the simple picture of a shopkeeper: retail is selling goods directly to people, and marketing is the work of showing and promoting those goods to get attention. So, retail marketing means 'the business activity of promoting and selling goods directly to consumers'.
