The silent gap after a big purchase
After purchasing a compressor, there is usually a three-month waiting period before it actually arrives at the factory. While this seems like a logical time to discuss a maintenance plan, it’s also a delicate window, as the customer has just committed to a major purchase and isn't looking for more costs.
Most companies choose to stay quiet during this gap to avoid being pushy, but we saw it as the perfect opportunity to stay connected by being helpful rather than salesy.
A value-first nurture flow in the 3-month waiting window
BBC identified the 12-week lead time between purchase and delivery as the sweet spot to engage customers with expert advice rather than a hard sell.
- Best practice content: We delivered tips on installation, environment, and optimal performance to build trust before mentioning the service plan.
- Data-driven insights: Highlighted the benefits of SMARTLINK remote diagnostics to show how Atlas Copco proactively manages equipment health.
- Strategic handoff: Created a seamless path for customers to request more information directly from a sales representative.
One 3D world with many perspectives
We built a single 3D environment that portrays the compressor’s lifecycle on a timeline.
From this one 3D world, we were able to take dozens of different camera shots and angles. This meant that every email and every touchpoint looked unique, while still feeling like part of the same consistent journey.
Building a global platform for service growth
The pilot launched in the UK, India, and Canada, proving that educational content could drive significant commercial interest.
- 50% target increase: The framework was designed to boost service offers by 50% during the critical pre-installation phase.
- Global scalability: Following the pilot's success, the flow is being localised and rolled out across multiple international markets.
- Future-proofing operations: By identifying the "Opex" decision-maker early, Atlas Copco now builds relationships with the right profiles from day one.
