However, deadlines are strict and non-negotiable. • The Retail Gazette is only seeking quotes in response to the points/questions posed in each monthly topic. • Due to the nature of retail’s fast-paced news cycle, Retail Gazette will only consider submissions from the 1st day of each month and for the topic pertaining to that month. • Submissions months in advance will not be considered. • Submissions must be in the form of quotes, with a strict maximum of 350 words. • Additional quotes that do not necessarily respond to the questions are welcome, however it must still relate to the topic in general and must still be within the word limit mentioned above. • Submissions of quotes are open to anyone. Those that come from direct-to-consumer retailers are given special priority. • Please note that Retail Gazette is always inundated with emails and therefore we can never respond to each request nor can we guarantee to publish each submission. • Commentary bylines and/or opinion pieces for each monthly topic are welcome, provided the author works for a direct-to-consumer retailer, a shopping centre, a retail lobby group/business chamber (eg: the BRC), or is a retail/finance academic associated with a university. Word count: 600-800. • Commentary bylines or opinion pieces written by a supplier, consultant, lawyer or any other business that works with retailers, will only be considered for publication if it’s part of a wider marketing campaign with the Retail Gazette. • The Retail Gazette reserves the right to edit submissions, reject them or select what would be appropriate for the feature in question.
