Deadline: 3:00 PM EST - 4 August
Query:
The months long pandemic has caused some serious problems for
small business owners, but a new crisis is likely to hurt the
ability for companies to take money from customers. All over the
place, businesses are asking that people pay in exact change for
any purchases made with cash due to a lack of change. This kind
of stipulation for payment can cause normal people to walk out
to find another location that can accept their paper currency.
This story aims to take a look at the shortage and what it means
for small businesses.
I'm looking to learn from experts answers to the following
questions:
- Is this type of shortage, spurred on by the months-long
closure of U.S. mints during the COVID pandemic, is a long-term
problem?
- What kind of impact does a coin shortage have on small
buisnesses?
- How can small businesses find ways to alleviate the situation?
Can customers be part of the solution? (e.g. Wawa offering
discounts/freebies in exchange for a roll of coins)
Any small business owner or economist/financial expert willing
to weigh in would be appreciated.
Requirements:

This article will offer online retail business owners useful
tips for planning for a successful holiday season.
As ecommerce continues to grow and people plan to buy/ship more
online that will challenge distribution centers and shipping
times, which means it's vital to plan ahead for successful

questions: 1. Comment on how more shoppers are buying online
items they used to buy in brick-and-mortar locations, and this
trend will likely continue throughout the holiday season. 2.

distribution channels and how online retailers can plan for
this. 3. What online retailers should do now and in the coming
months to prepare for healthy holiday sales--steps. 4. The
fairly new trend of consumers having a majority of gifts shipped
directly to recipients. How this changes marketing and

ensuring a smooth holiday sales shipping process.
Requirements:
I require answers from online retail business owners/CEO's,
presidents, founders, directors, VPs. Please use examples of how
