NOVEMBER AT A GLANCE
Pinterest in November: what to know
November is one of the busiest food months of the year. Thanksgiving is the big one, so keep pinning sides, pies and make-ahead plans until the day. Right after it, people switch to Christmas, gift guides and holiday parties.
Shops should pin Black Friday deals and gift ideas early in the month. Before the month ends, start pinning New Year's Eve appetizers and healthy January recipes. People save them while they plan their holidays.
