Top 40 Retail Trends in November

From QSR-Themed Fire Logs to Online Loyalty Payment Cards

As brands continue to push innovation as they adjust to our current reality amid the global pandemic, the November 2020 retail trends underscore how brands are making it easier for consumers to remain loyal customers amid the confusion.

Ranging from pay-in-aisle retail technology and smart shopping lockers to virtual Christmas markets and virtual kitchen experiences, the November 2020 retail trends offer contactless ways for shoppers to gain access to products and services. As the holiday season gears up, this is especially pivotal as consumers seek convenient solutions for holiday shopping. Moreover, this system is also being implemented in the non-profit sector, as organizations seek streamlined solutions that appeal to the modern consumer to collect donations with new contactless donation boxes.
