​Holiday Retail Trends Your Business Should Know

Consumers will be in a spending mood this coming Black Friday weekend, but competition for their attention — and dollars — is tougher than ever. Here's why it matters:
 

• Holiday spending is expected to be strong this year, but with more sales channels than ever, retailers have to be smart about how they connect with customers.
• Retailers are embracing new technologies this holiday season, including livestream shopping videos and buy now, pay later (BNPL) platforms.
• Conscious consuming is a top trend this year, but shoppers also are looking for deals.
