Integrated Solutions For Retailers Executive Outlook Submission, Case Study consideration, and guidelines:

Case Study Leads And Abstracts
Integrated Solutions For Retailers is always on the lookout for compelling case studies to share with our subscribers. Simply use our editorial submission form to send us a case study idea and contact information for the retailer we need to interview, and we'll find a home for the story in Integrated Solutions For Retailers.

Executive Outlooks
Integrated Solutions For Retailers accepts guest-authored opinion columns, which we call Executive Outlooks. These articles should be submitted electronically via this page. To increase the likelihood of your contribution running online or in the magazine, please read these guidelines and the Executive Outlook Author's Agreement carefully.

How To Generate The CopyCopy for the Executive Outlook section of the magazine comes from articles written by outside contributors. These contributors can include presidents, vice presidents and executives of vendor companies, retail companies, or industry consultants. These articles are typically one page in length (500-550 words). Articles must include:

1. A 300 dpi TIFF or JPEG headshot of the author e-mailed to erin.harris@jamesonpublishing.com

2. A small bio on the author and his/her company, along with contact information (e-mail).


Editorial ConceptThe Executive Outlook was created as an outlet for executives to share their opinions on technologies and trends within the retail industry. The subject matter chosen for the Executive Outlook must bring value to our readership, i.e. discuss a subject that retail technology buyers care about.

The guest opinion is NOT:

1. PR for a company

2. PR for a product or product line

3. An opportunity for a company to attack a competitor

4. A white paper or technical piece.


Design Theory & LayoutEditing An Integrated Solutions For Retailers editor will edit all submitted articles. The editors may:

1. Re-work the article themselves

2. Request that the author re-work the article

3. Reject the article if there is no possibility of it reaching our standards

The Executive Outlook is typically the last department in the magazine.

Frequency Executive Outlook articles do not run every month. These articles run as space is available in the magazine. Executive Outlooks are accepted on a rolling basis and placed in queue for publishing.Many factors influence the publishing decision, including but not limited to the quality, relevance, and timeliness of the article and the order in which it was received.
