out the industry on both new and used vehicles.The next few pages include dozens of restyling and car-care products that were unveiled

Consumers want safe, eco-friendly products but don’t want to sacrifice per-formance. We at Whoosh! strive to meet the con-

sumer’s needs by developing specialized products that won’t harm the consumer or the environment. The use of nano technologies and plant-based surfactants allow us to break free from petroleum-based formulations and develop car-care products that not only outperform traditional products, but also are dif-ferentiated, cost-effective, non-toxic, non-reactive to the environment and safe to use.

In addition, digital media and eCom-merce are having a massive impact from both a marketing and a distribution perspective. The Internet has allowed us to reach consumers, distributors and markets that we could never afford to reach and has allowed us to develop strong international relationships and be more focused on global opportunities in new markets.

From a product perspective, we are very excited about the growth and inno-vation in nano and bio-based technolo-gies. We also see international growth in emerging markets, such as South America and Eastern Europe, and there is a con-tinuing shift to the Internet as a market-ing and sales channel. The next few years are going to be very exciting for us.

Consumers are keeping their automobiles longer and are taking better care of them. Synthetic waxes and sealants provide an easy way to keep their vehi-

cles looking good and resale values high, and headlight restoration kits continue to be strong sellers.

Making it easy to buy in a multitude of ways is important to customers. Their need for more detailed product informa-tion has grown, and they want to access information easily and immediately. Being able to do quick searches online and access store locations or Internet buy-ing opportunities continues to grow in importance. Free shipping also continues to be a key touch point, and it’s an expec-tation in addition to the desire to receive their products faster.

The rapid expansion of social media adds to the multiple touch points in which we communicate with customers. Personal communication via the tele-phone has been replaced with consumers’ requests for more and more communica-tion via e-mail, texting and social sites.

Continued government intervention and restrictions with regard to manu-facturing requires constant vigilance to ensure compliance. Fortunately, people who love vehicles will continue to find enjoyment, peace and reward in their garages. It’s a place to escape the world’s troubles and have some fun!

Nano technology in paints, polishes, soaps and deodorizers is changing the industry. The use of molecular structures and charges can make surfaces

more resistant to dirt or, in the case of deodorizers, actually encapsulate the molecules of a bad smell rather than try-ing to cover them up.

Distribution channels are shifting as well. In the 20-plus years I’ve been in the industry, I have seen a shift to more of a “lean distribution” model—smaller orders, shipped within 24 hours with more frequency, closer to a just-in-time delivery model.

Today, thanks to the ubiquity of the Internet, every marketing campaign can be “multi-channel.” We are seeing a surge in “second screen” or mobile access. Big-box companies and catalogs are gaining online market share over the small Internet retailer. Our main focus for our Internet marketing is on building our brand and driving traffic to our customers.

Consumers are looking for time-saving products and tools. They are also demanding products that deliver superior results but are environmentally

responsible at a competitive price.Our polymerized rubber surface prep

tools are more cost effective and efficient than clay at removing paint overspray, water spots and industrial fallout. The typical cost of clay per car is $2.50, whereas surface prep tools cost about $0.45 per car. The cost savings are substantial; the ease of use and superior results are remarkable.

We were also challenged by regulatory agencies and consumer demand to develop a high-quality, easy-to-use, environmen-tally friendly car wax. The hurdle was high, and while it took two years, we succeeded in developing Nano Carnauba Spray Wax, which was honored with a SEMA 2012 Global Media Award. It’s noteworthy because it is a true, water-based carnauba wax that contains no solvents nor powders. It creates an exceptional high-gloss protec-tive coating with little effort—just spray, wipe and shine.

International marketing is an essential part of our strategy, and the Internet has enabled us to reach consumers and distrib-utors globally to create an effective, cost-efficient marketing management plan and a better understanding of our own business and the market in which we operate.

In the past, consumers had been very brand loyal, and that has changed a little bit in today’s mar-ket. People are keeping their cars longer than ever

before, and they are therefore always looking for new and/or improved ways to maintain them. Consumers today have raised their expectations and are actively searching for quality products that can improve their results. The Internet is now one of the main avenues for people to research and purchase products.

Opportunities are nearly endless in today’s car-care market. We just intro-duced Perfect Finish, a one-step polish-ing compound.
