Work for the Spring issue of CAR WASH Magazine is underway with a focus on business strategy. We'd love to hear your stories and perspectives on any of the following topics. Specifically:

 

- Companies that have outsourced marketing or PR or who have a rockstar inhouse team! 

- Companies that have dealt with crisis management as it relates to a crisis affecting its business -- bad publicity, natural disaster, etc.

- Companies with a formalized strategic plan for the years ahead, or those in the middle of a planning process, or those who think there's no benefit to having a plan ... 

- The power of networking and relationship-building. If you've benefited from peers and relationship-building we'd love to talk to you.
- Differentiation in your market ... how are you standing out in the crowd?
