Today's Story Highlights

5 Things Retailers Can Do Now to Avoid a Cyber Monday Disaster
We may just be turning the calendar to November, but if you're like most
retailers, you're already deep into planning for the gift-giving season.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are circled and starred as you anticipate,
with a mixture of excitement and trepidation, the spike in sales and
massive increase in traffic to your website and mobile app -- with good
reason.

Do Your Customer Journeys Have Dead Ends or Dead Spots?
It's easy to take things you see every day for granted. We take the sun
rising and setting for granted, for instance, and that's a good thing,
because it helps us organize our lives. However, in business taking
things for granted is a hazard. Change is everything these days, and
that means the concepts you take as constants may not be as constant as
they seem.

The Ultimate E-Commerce Guide to Black Friday
The shopping season is fast approaching. Black Friday -- the kickoff of
Christmas consumerism -- falls on November 29 this year, six days later
than last year. However, e-commerce stores easily will compensate for
this shorter shopping season: Last year consumers broke records with
$6.22 billion spent online, but this year Black Friday is set to surpass
$12 billion in online sales.

Harnessing Visual AI to Boost E-Commerce Sales
Each person interprets an image in countless subjective ways, based on
individual biases. However, when searching for a product on the
Internet, most people prefer accuracy over multiple interpretations of a
single object. Putting the appropriate tags on images ensures better
searchability for users. Doing this manually, though, can be inefficient
and prone to errors.

E-Gurus: Online Guides to Personal Growth
The personal and professional growth coaching industry is exploding,
thanks in part to the accessibility afforded by the Internet and digital
technologies. People who want to improve themselves are flocking to
Skype sessions, online classes, Facebook groups, and other venues to
work with life and performance coaches, get career advice, and network
with other seekers.
