separated and in their own homes?

Query:
I'm writing a story on how billiard retailers can maintain their
holiday momentum after the season. I'm looking for tips,
insights, and success stories from experts on how to keep sales
strong in the next year through things like marketing tips,
holding sales, social media, promotions for holidays like
Valentine's Day, etc. Here are some specific questions to answer
if you like...
How can billiard retailers maintain strong sales following the
holiday season?
Is promoting accessories that go with the pool table they just
got a good idea?
How can they keep in touch with customers? (Social media, email
blasts, etc.)
While Covid vaccines seem to be on their way, people are likely
to spend a lot of time at home over the next few months. Is
there an opportunity there with people not spending as much
money on vacations and entertainment?
Do holidays like Valentine's Day offer promotional opportunities?

Hello! I'm working on an article for HomeLight.com about
granite countertops. I'm looking for a designer to answer a few
questions. Below are my questions - if we use your
contribution, we will credit you and include a link to your
online bio. - When did the "granite craze" first begin? -
What was popular before granite? Was there a shift from laminate
to granite? - Is it still in high demand for kitchens and baths
today, or is it starting to go "out of style?" - Are there
certain colors/types/patterns of granite that are more popular
than others? i.e, is light granite replacing dark granite? - How
does quartz measure up to granite? Is it more durable or less
likely to stain? Any other benefits? - Do you recommend granite
as the top choice for countertops? What are the other surfaces
you typically use/recommend? Thanks!
