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 device collection. Their standard packaging was functional, but was it actively converting?

The core challenge was customer psychology. Users with a valuable €500+ device felt a moment of anxiety when asked to ship it. 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 entire 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.
