The Challenge: The Hidden Cost of "Good Enough"

As a European leader, Swappie had optimized its digital funnel but faced a critical friction point in the physical world: the "last mile" of used iPhone  collection. Their standard packaging was functional, but the Product Owners had suspicions that there must be better packagign solutions to increase convertion?

The core challenge was not packaging, but customer psychology. Users with a valuable €300+ device felt a moment of anxiety when asked to ship it.to be resodl A flimsy, generic package didn't inspire the confidence needed to complete the transaction.

This translated directly to lost revenue from high drop-off rates and a risk to brand perception at the most critical moment of trust.

Key Pains

  • Lost Revenue
  • Customer Anxiety
  • In-transit Damage Risk
  • Negative Brand Perception

The Solution: A Partnership to Architect a Conversion Tool

Swappie needed more than a box supplier; they needed a partner to co-design a solution. We launched a data-driven "Conversion Pilot" to prove the value of strategic packaging.

Step 1: Discovery & Needs Analysis

We didn't start with a box. We started with Swappie's data and their user's anxieties, mapping the customer journey from the user's home to the technician's bench.

Step 2: Co-Design & Prototyping

We designed a solution *with* them, focusing on simplicity for the user, durability for transit, and intake efficiency for the operations team.

Step 3: A/B Testing & Data Collection

We launched a structured pilot to a specific user segment, gathering real-world data to prove the ROI against their existing solution. The results were undeniable in every market Swappie operates.
