Highlights from our November Retail Traffic report:

• US store-based traffic fell at a faster rate in November than October’s 5.5% decline
• Black Friday provided a boost, although retail traffic was still lower this Black Friday than last year
• Transaction volume also slipped, although at a slower rate and with a Black Friday increase

The bright spots were conversion rates, returns and shopper yield, all of which posted improved results.
