The Challenge
By 2014, nearly a third of shoppers were trading-in or selling their old mobile phones in-store, when making an upgrade, and another third were holding on to their old phones. Both groups faced barriers to selling their phones online. Armed with this data, eBay saw the opportunity to develop an enhanced online mobile phone trade-in/selling program, but needed more information on the specifics of how to proceed.
The Results
The research helped eBay make enhancements to its cellphone selling program and launch a major marketing campaign to coincide with the launch of new cellphones by major companies in the fall of 2014.
