Online commentary submission guidelines

So what are we looking for?

1. Length. Your column doesn't need to be long. A minimum of 700 words is ideal. Keep it brief.

2. SEO. Your column should mention Asian retail or an Asian country either in the headline or first or second sentences, and at least cover a little of what is interesting in Asian retail industry.

3. Editorial requirements. Your column must not mention your company name or products - remember, this is not a sales pitch, it is a way to increase your profile by letting others know that you have genuine and unique knowledge that you want to share with the community. It is about being a thought leader, not a sales cheerleader.
