Deadline: 4:00 PM EST - 11 December

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

What was popular before granite? Was there a shift from laminate

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!

Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about

5 Things You Need To Know To Successfully Run a Live Virtual
Event. Full description here https://bit.ly/3mWpQnM

COVID19 disrupted all of our lives in many ways. One of the ways
it has changed our lives is the cessation of large, in person,
live events , and the transition to live virtual events.

But how does one run a successful live virtual event? An
in-person event can have a certain electric energy. How do you
create an engaging and memorable event when everyone is
separated and in their own homes?

We would like to interview successful leaders and event
organizers who can share the "5 Things You Need To Know To
Successfully Run a Live Virtual Event". We would like to talk to
leaders who either have experience in the past with running a
successful virtual event, or leaders who are currently in the
process of organizing one.

The interview series will have two stages.

All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:

Name: Brittany Anas Eat This

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-bntc@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Eat This

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 10 December

Query:

Hello!

I'm doing a round-up of seasonal dishes/drinks at chains across
the country.

I'd love to have an R.D. chime in on what to be mindful of +
ways to make some of these -- yes, splurges -- healthier.

Here are a few jumping off points:

For instance, instead of a holiday latte is there a festive
syrup that you could swap in at Starbucks?

Or, over-the-top pancakes are a bit of a splurge, instead of the
added sugar with candy/festive toppings, how could people trim
back on this splurge? Or what could they order at a bakery or a
breakfast spot that might be a good alternative, but still
festive?

What about seasonal cocktails? Maybe that merry margarita is
full of sugar -- what's a fun cocktail order instead?

Thanks for your expertise!
