Name: Subramanian Harikumar LowestRates

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bcsz@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: LowestRates

Deadline: 5:00 PM EST - 7 October

Query:

Credit card issuers in the U.S. have started to reduce
offers/benefits/credit limits to avoid losses due to over
reliance on credit during the pandemic. I am writing an article
for LowestRates.ca on how Canadian credit card companies are
doing the same during the pandemic.

If you are a credit card holder in Canada:

Did your credit card company reduce your credit limit? Did you
notice any decrease in rewards or benefits that you normally get
with your credit card? If your answer to both questions is yes,
did you check with your credit card company to understand why
there are sudden changes in offers/benefits? What other
resources are you using to meet your credit needs during the
pandemic?

If you are seeking a new credit card in Canada:

Are you happy with the offers that are currently being provided
by major Canadian credit card companies? Are they offering
cards with lower credit limits? What other resources are you
using to meet your credit needs during the pandemic?

Please provide your responses to some/all of these questions. If
the deadline is over, please email me your answers at

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 7 October

Query:

There has been an increase in instances of Canadian credit card
companies cutting back on rewards/benefits/offers for new
customers. Also, a lot of existing credit card holders have
suffered a decrease in credit limit for no reason in the last
few months. I am looking for Canadian credit card experts and
personal finance experts to answer the following questions for
an article for LowestRates.ca:

Looking at the trend of decreased offers for new credit card
seekers, is it safe to say that Canadian credit card issuers are
not looking for new customers right now? What's the reason for
cutting back on promotions, offers, and credit limits for new
and existing credit card holders? How does the pandemic/high
household debt play a role here? What can new credit card
seekers do to secure better offers/credit limits on credit
cards?

If it is past the deadline, please feel free to email me your

how this has changed, and/or what their ideal relationship with
HR looks like.

Name: Chris Warren The ANA Magazine

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bc8x@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The ANA Magazine

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 8 October

Query:

I'm looking for expert insights, especially from brands about
the below topic:

The COVID-19 pandemic is a "punishing blow to consumer event
marketing and sponsorships." That's the major takeaway from PQ
Media's 2020 "Experiential Marketing Forecast," which was
released in July. Indeed, the industry will decline more than 15
percent this year, the report says, following years of sustained
mid-single digit expansion. In gross marketing dollar terms,
that's a decline of nearly $13 billion to $71 billion worldwide,
with roughly half that spending in the U.S. Even if a vaccine
arrives sooner rather than later there are likely to be
permanent changes in the experiential marketing landscape. This
article will explore the challenges for consumer marketers who
relied heavily on sponsorships for experiential marketing "BC"
(Before Coronavirus). As the virus prolongs, are marketers
shifting some of their "experiential" dollars to other marketing
channels? What are companies that normally exhibit / display at
events, fairs, etc. doing to fill the void? Are some companies
recreating their brand experience online virtually? What are
emerging best practices? What is likely to change over the
medium and long-term?

Query:

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real
Estate Weekly, a nationally syndicated section published weekly
in newspapers across the country (visit
tinyurl.com/ejmctwfeatures for samples). I'm looking to
interview real estate agents, FSBO experts, real estate faculty,
housing/real estate industry spokespersons, attorneys, and other
real estate experts for the following story:

DIY home selling: The pros and cons of selling a home without an
agent. Many prospective home sellers are considering listing and
selling their properties FSBO, without enlisting the aid of a
real estate agent/realtor. But this plan can backfire if you
don't do your homework. This piece will suggest the advantages
and disadvantages of this strategy as well as things to consider
carefully and avoid if necessary. I can only accept written
responses (full-sentences that I can use as quotes) via email to
the following questions. My deadline is noon central, Tuesday,
October 13, 2020.

QUESTIONS: 1. Why do many people choose to try to sell a home
without a real estate agent (FSBO)? 2. Do you have any data that
indicate how common this option is (please cite the source with
a link)? 3. What are the pros and cons of selling a home without
an agent? 4. What are the pros and cons of selling a home with a
real estate agent? 5. What specific advice or best practice
steps would you recommend to home sellers if they choose to sell
a home themselves? Please list steps in order with details. 6.
What should sellers consider carefully before committing to an
FSBO strategy? What should they avoid? 7. How can this sell your
home by yourself strategy backfire if you're not careful? 8. Any
other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic? 9. What is
your full name, title, company, city/state location, and email
address?

Our Thought Leaders in Financial Technology (TLFT) blog is a
follow-up to our highly successful Thought Leaders in Cloud
Computing (TLCC) (http://www.sramanamitra.com/big-data) series.
In TLFT, we interview thought leaders in the financial
technology sector -- whether they are entrepreneurs building
great companies, product/user experience designers building
great products, or executives at large companies with unique
perspectives on how the financial technology is evolving. We
discuss trends, disruptions, entrepreneurial opportunities,
monetization models, challenges, socio-cultural impact and much
more in a seven-part series. We also try to highlight for our
audience gaps in the current value chain where they may start a
venture, from the unique vantage point that CIOs and CTOs have.
This is a wonderful opportunity to add value to the
entrepreneurial ecosystem of the world. This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue
(http://1mby1m.com). 1M/1M has syndication relationships with
many venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes

ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 8 October

Query:

For my Entrepreneur Journeys series, I'm looking for interesting
virtual companies in technology and technology-enabled services,
companies with at least $5 million in annual revenue. I'm
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur behind the company
who is willing to discuss the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, provide revenue level,
industry and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile;
we don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). See examples of the series
on my blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue.
We use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach other
entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters. You
get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons from
the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles often get
repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). I was also named as one of the top
10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015 (https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in my Menlo Park office. We publish a very long, detailed 5- to
10-part interview, so the discussion needs to be in-depth.
