Customer Story
Heritage Two-Wheeler Manufacturer Transforms Product Delivery into Emotional Brand Onboarding Through Premium Welcome Kits
Challenges
The two-wheeler manufacturer had decades of rich heritage and a passionate customer base, but vehicle handovers felt transactional and missed opportunities to deepen emotional connections. New owners received basic documentation and a quick vehicle orientation, but nothing that communicated the brand's story or made them feel part of a larger community. The company needed an onboarding experience that reflected its legacy whilst creating lasting impressions.
- Transactional handovers: Vehicle deliveries focused on paperwork and features, lacking emotional resonance or brand storytelling
- Missed first impression: The critical moment when customers took delivery—peak emotional engagement—wasn't leveraged for relationship building
- No heritage connection: Despite the brand's storied history and iconic models, new owners rarely understood or appreciated this legacy
- Generic onboarding: Standardized delivery processes didn't differentiate premium models or long-time loyal customers
- Low social sharing: Vehicle handovers generated minimal social media content or word-of-mouth advocacy
- Weak brand community: New owners didn't feel connected to the broader community of brand enthusiasts and legacy riders
Personas Involved
- Chief Marketing Officer: Oversees brand positioning and customer experience strategy
- Head of Customer Experience: Manages onboarding journeys and first-mile engagement
- Dealership Operations Manager: Coordinates delivery processes and customer handovers
- Brand Heritage Lead: Ensures authentic storytelling and heritage preservation
