Graco, Inc.
Food manufacturer packaging
hot melt adhesive solution
Challenge:
On a packaging line at a major food manufacturing plant, a horrible safety mishap had occurred with a hot melt adhesive dispensing machine. They were considering a change to a Graco unit, but were still in the decision making process.
Solution:
A Graco sales team member contacted me to see if we could do a safety video showing how our unit would not allow that type of accident. They had a meeting on a
Friday and the request came on a Tuesday the same
week. I realized the potential sale hinged on them understanding how safe Graco was, so I shot footage in
our lab, combined some quick targeted animations, and sent the video out the night before the meeting.
Results:
After showing the video in the meeting and discussing
the content, the food manufacturer placed a $250K order. And that was just for training. Sales team told me the video was a key to getting the sale. It also opened the door in other plants for additional product sales and several whole plant conversions that are pending.
