How Do I Plan for Cyber Monday?

The biggest Cyber Monday mistake is treating it as an afterthought - planned during the Black Friday weekend when you're exhausted and time is limited. Stores that execute CM well plan it as a distinct campaign months in advance, with its own offer, creative, and inventory allocation.
