Deadline: 3:00 PM EST - 5 January
Query:
For GOBankingRates, syndicated with Yahoo Finance, I am writing
a piece about making big financial purchases when the future is
so hard to navigate (mainly because of the pandemic). I am
looking to cite OBJECTIVE FINANCIAL & RETAIL EXPERTS ONLY on
what is a worthwhile buy right now.
For example: Many people book big vacations for the year well in
advance. Airlines are offering big travel deals for the later in
the year. So, in context, is it worth the risk to pay now for an
October vacation, even though we're not 100 percent sure what
will happen with COVID?
I am looking for an answer to that question, but also for more
examples. Like, is now the time to buy new car if yours is on
the way out, perhaps because we see good car sales in Jan?
In other words, what BIG investments are worth the risk to buy
this month? How much might you end up saving in the long run?
To submit, please send: 1. Your name, title and your pronouns
with a link to your site 2. Your suggestion of what to buy now
3. Around how much it costs 4. Why it is worth the risk 5. How
much you might save now versus if you wait to buy it later.
Thank you so much. I assure you I will fully credit you with
your company if I can quote you --- and I will certainly TRY to
quote you!

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 January
Query:
Feature: Growing While Remote Expanded remote work is here to
stay. Even though businesses are starting to cautiously reopen
offices, the benefits of remote work to businesses -- lower
costs, happier and possibly more productive employees and the
ability to recruit talent everywhere -- are too great for
businesses to ignore. But transitioning existing employees to
home offices is one thing; onboarding new employees who will
work remotely from the start is another. These workers need to
be trained and incorporated into office culture, even as they
also need company-issued endpoints. How can tech help
organizations grow in virtual environments? What about hybrid
environments where entire workforces might be in the office
part-time on different days? What are the tech-management
considerations of long-term remote-work and hybrid environments?
Businesses need equipment -- endpoints, collaboration tech and
security -- but they also need to think about how these
technologies might be used differently than before.
Requirements:
I'm looking to speak with IT sources at U.S.-based nonprofits
about how tech has helped support their organizations' growth
during the time of remote work. The tech can be almost anything
(datacenter infrastructure, user devices, networking refreshes).
We're not really looking to highlight small, standalone software
offerings, although we could feature big collaboration techs
like Zoom, Webex, and Teams. I'm happy to have vendors put me in
touch with sources, but please note that I can NOT user quotes
from vendors, aggregators, or IT consultants in this article. I
also cannot feature organizations in healthcare, education, or
government. Thanks!

Amazon announced its acquisition of podcast publisher Wondery on

quiet time of year. Now I'm wondering why this was so
buzzworthy--and what podcasts mean for Amazon in 2021. Is it
simply about providing more value for Amazon customers? Or is
there more to it than that? If so, what exactly? More ad
inventory...?

2020 was an exceptionally challenging year. So many people lost
their jobs, health, or a loved one. While we are all trying to
coup up, some companies went the extra mile to serve their
customers.
They empathized, supported, and even vouched for their
customers. Do you have such experiences to share as a customer?
I have raised a similar Haro Query on Monday and got around 100+
responses from Customer Experience people on how they stood for
their customers. I have already started going through each
story.
To make this post more balanced and interesting, I want to
include both sides. Remember, I am only looking for real
authentic experiences/stories/examples. Be Specific to get
included. It would be published on Surveysensum blog and we will
also share it on social media
