How we fell for Fall
Where once cold weather could lead to a lull in sales, businesses now make a fortune selling autumn-themed products, from coffees to candles to experiences.
From spiced lattes to scented candles, autumn has become a staple in marketing calendars and on social media. We speak to businesses who thrive at this time of year; hear from content creators fuelling fall fever; and look at how the season is embraced in parts of the world without autumnal temperatures.
