When we decided to aggregate and share the hottest items from our website, blog posts and NRF SmartBrief articles from the previous month, we learned something: we’re not the only ones who love knowing what’s popular. In fact, the September “What’s Hot” was so well-received among retailers that it was one of the most popular blog posts in October.
“Make it easy for me to figure out what I might have missed,” you’re saying. So, we are. And here were October’s hottest items in the following areas:
