Cutting machine manufacturer Swift-Cut wanted to grow into new markets and reach thousands of potential customers. In return we helped them to achieve a 5000% increase in enquiries, and they now sell in 35 countries.
Breaking into an established market
When we started working with Swift-Cut their ambition was to take on established UK competitors with one product – a plasma cutting table, designed by them to meet a gap in the market for an affordable entry level product.
Five years later the company offers a comprehensive range of machines targeting different user groups, and sells in 35 countries.
Sugar Marketing was tasked with:
- Identifying Swift-Cut’s target audience and creating an awareness of the company and its products.
- Generating sales enquiries by reaching potential clients with the right information, at the right time.
- Using experience gained in the UK to support Swift-Cut’s expansion into new markets.
Our results:
Over 5000% increase in enquiries:
Sales enquiries up from five to 250+ a month on Swift-Cut’s lead machine
Now selling in 35 countries:
Markets established in EU, America and Australia – with more planned
Swift-Cut awarded Queens Award for International Trade:
Recognised by UK’s most prestigious business award, sealing Swift-Cut’s position as an international success story
“I have no doubt whatsoever that working with Sugar has greatly contributed to Swift-Cut’s sales success – they really are part of the team. They bring skills that we do not have internally and using them has helped us to gain and maintain sales momentum worldwide.”
