We broke Arc's operations

A problem we run into all too often with smaller installers, their demand problem quickly becomes a supply issue.

01The write-upArc Technical

We met Oliver & Jonathan from Arc Technical at a talk Jude did at Powerland Industries on how to market Solar effectively in 2025.

The father-son combo loved the talk so much, that they asked whether we would be able to work with them directly.

I warned them that our approach is pretty much jet fuel for a business of their size (at the time) but they were ambitious and wanted their first time advertising to be a major success.

So, we filmed the ads, with some really lovely angles in a local close where they had already installed 3 systems and were quoting for a fourth.

We focused on the fact that they HADN'T advertised before and that they were a small local family run business.

The ads were some of the most authentic we had ever produced.

As a result, when the campaigns launched, it went ballistic.

Oliver & Jonathan suddenly had to manage the huge influx in enquiries, continue to install the systems themselves, and survey all of the interest in person.

They took the opportunity in both hands, making a crucial initial contact hire very early on.

This bought them some breathing room but still wasn't enough to keep up.

3 months in, when we returned to shoot with them for the second time, Oliver had this to say.

Now, we only work with installers who are already doing 8+ installations per month, or in very specific circumstances (e.g. large subcontract workflow or scheme based with multiple teams breaking into the private market).

We can't wait to see where Oliver & Jonathan take the business, their reputation is spotless and we love working with them.

▶ 0:00So we've been working with Solar on steroids recently, and, I must say, they're just too good. There's too many leads. So if you do sign on with them, prepare to be completely swamped with them. In fact, don't sign on with them because I don't want you to take our leads.

Arc Technical

Note 1Problem

Jude met Oliver & Jonathan while presenting his "Marketing 101" talk at Powerland Industries in Birmingham. They were ambitious and knew that in order to take their business to the next level, they would need to advertise.

Previously, all of their work had come exclusively from referrals. Their quality of work was stellar & they built great relationships with all of their customers. They just needed a way to scale that faster than referrals allowed for.

Note 2Results

Oliver now tells other installers to get their admin ready first: the ads brought more enquiries than two people could survey.

Oliver and Jonathan have had to hire, starting with office support, and are making moves to get off site and free up more time for surveying.
