Editorial Criteria
Prior to being added to the library, your submissions will be screened by our Web site editorial team to ensure the information is truly editorial and not simply self-serving to the company. Retail Solutions Online reserves the right to deem any submission as unacceptable... this decision is final, however at your request we are willing to provide suggestions on what can be done to improve upon an article.
If you are unsure if an editorial submission meets our criteria consider the following: All submissions must contain answers to the following questions:
- What was the initial problem attempting to be solved?
- What possible solutions were investigated?
- Which solution was selected? Why?
- What kind of results did the company experience as a result of implementing the selected solution?
The point to remember is that viewers come to our site to find a solution to their problems. They come for the value of our content. While it is acceptable to briefly mention a product or company within the article, this should not be the primary focus and should be included as reference information only - unless it is in a "How to" format.
Graphics Requirements
Graphics may be included in an article as long as they meet the following requirements:
- File size under 10k
- Graphics are in GIF or JPEG format
- Graphics may not be larger than 200 pixels wide
