This document discusses representing dates and times in a Neo4j graph database to enable querying events that occur on specific dates or within a date range. It shows how dates can be modeled as nodes connected by relationships, and provides Cypher queries to find events on a single day, between two days, or check if an event occurs on a given date. Mixed property and relationship types are also discussed.

Editor's Notes
- #5: Its not all negative though... I believe delivery is the greatest potential weapon multichannel retailers have against the elephant in the room The reason Amazon is such a threat is that they have made consumers believe that there are only two reasons to buy online... range and price... conveniently they have a structural advantage in both these areas...
- #8: Increase order value Improve conversion Happier customers
