interview contractors, outdoor living experts, remodelers, real

A playground right on the premises: Install a kids playset right
in your own backyard. This piece will suggest how adding a
playset featuring a slide, swings, crows nest/clubhouse, and
other fun amenities can turn your yard into a mini amusement

I'm seeking answers to. I can only accept written responses via
email. My deadline is 2 p.m. central, Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why is it a smart idea for homeowners with kids to
install a playset in their yard (e.g., one with a swing, slide,

playset (e.g., those with kids ages 2-10)? 3. What are the pros

playsets? 6. Are playsets best installed by experts, or can

playset (e.g., safety, maintenance, lifespan, resale value,
etc.)? 8. Any other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this
topic? 9. What is your full name, title, company, city/state
location, and email address?

Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter with CTW
Features. We will be publishing a nationally syndicated special
section called "Holiday Gift Guide" in late fall that will
publish in newspapers and websites across the country (visit
https://tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for past syndicated content
samples from CTW Features). For one of the stories running in
this section, I'm looking to interview toy store
experts/merchants, retail consultants, consumer product
analysts/experts, holiday gift experts, online retail
professionals, and others for the following story:
How to shop for kids' gifts now that the traditional toy store
is extinct. Toys 'R Us and other similar brick-and-mortar
retailers have closed up shop. So how can you best locate and
purchase worthy gifts for youngsters these days? This article
will provide tips for online toy shopping and suggest major
brick-and-mortar retailers that still carry a good supply of
toys in their stores; plus, recommendations for how to reduce
giver regret (e.g., always get and include a gift receipt,
consider a gift card instead, etc.) I can only accept
full-sentence written responses (via email) that I can use as
quotes. My deadline is noon central, Thursday, Aug. 13.
QUESTIONS: 1. Why have all the brick and mortar toy stores
disappeared? What factors are behind this trend? 2. How does
this make it tricky or more challenging for adults to buy kids
toys and presents around the holidays, considering there aren't
any real toy stores to visit any longer? 3. Where are toys being
bought now instead? Name some (a) brick and mortar chains that
offer a good selection of toys and (b) online stores that also
offer a good variety of toys 4. How do you recommend shopping
for kids toys this holiday season? What detailed tips do you
suggest, especially if you prefer to see and touch the product
in person but may not be able to due to lack of toy stores? 5.
What tips do you recommend to help clueless adults buy the right
toy/kids gift, especially if they really don't know how or what
to buy for a particular child (blind buying)? 6. What tips do
you recommend to reduce gift giver and receiver regret (e.g.,
always include a gift receipt in the box/package, give the child
a plastic or e-gift card instead that they can use to buy toys
online or in a store, etc.)? 7. Any other thoughts, tips, or
suggestions on this topic? 8. What is your full name, title,
company, city/state location, and email address?
