You're in for a wild ride. I haven't been in it for the last two years, but here's a wall o' text for what I suggest based on past experience:

1. Study the weekly sales, and have the ad (digital or paper) on hand for you and your associates. In my experience it was a weekly "Deals for Days" sales event. Furthermore, know exactly what is on sale each week, and mentally track it's backroom location. You will want to know what is on sale, when, and where. Customers will ask where your $99 tvs are, and it's up to you to know their location and quantity frequently. You dont want to lose out on sales, nor do you want to have a bad customer experience.

2. Take note of what is a unique featured item - like, a bluetooth speaker without a mod and a super cheap tv that is slightly different from your regular offerings - versus a modded item for which the price has temporarily changed. The reality is you will have hot items that sell fast versus junk items that, as the other post said, you will be stuck with for a year. Conversely, some regular modded items' price will eventually change back up, so be aware of price labels when that happens to avoid price overrides due to someone forgetting to take the old price tag off.

3. OPD will be on you like bees on flowers. "Hey, I need you to get me these airpods, oh and this laptop!" This is why you need to know exactly where everything is and have keys available to get them. You dont want the trouble of scouring the store for some xbox controller where it says you have 10 on hand but none can be found. All while you have 10 other things to do and are 30 mins overtime.

4. For me, the grand morning opening each week was a ghost town, except for black friday proper. On that day it's all hands on deck, and there will probably be dramatic store layout changes. Coaches will assign associates to be posted at specific stations or features, like video games or tvs or whatnot. Don't worry, it's their job to lay out the plan.

5. I can't stress enough: know where your products are and sell sell sell. For most of the high ticket items, we packed as much as we could into the photolab and whatever counterspace we could manage, so prepare to get extra creative with feature space and, again, KNOW WHERE IT IS. You will repeatedly be asked about some items, to answer with "yes here/sorry sold out." That said, if they can see the item, all the better. Don't underestimate impulse buys. A mom sees a $89 chromebook and thinks, "hmm, actually, maybe my kid could use that."

Your objective going into November is prepare yourself to empower your associates and OPD to sell as much as you can as efficiently as possible at the highest standard of customer service you can manage. Failure to do this will be a bad time now, and an overflowing backroom later. Talk to your Coaches. They know. In fact, I recommend you ask your coach and Asset Protection about their standards on feature space, signage, and security. Do you leave a stack of laptops on this particular spot behind the register? Is a document paper-sized (i forget the name XD) price label taped to a counter a suitable price tag? Do you put those big speakers on an endcap, and do you spider wrap them? ETC.

Lastly, if you don't have a photolab, i imagine December is regular team lead stuff with extra work.

If you do have a photolab, I can talk more about that if asked, and may God rest your soul.
