Product Manager · External Agency

01Situation

Swisscom launched the more powerful WLAN Box 3. The product page behind it was not selling.

Outdated page

The structure explained technology rather than customer benefit.

Clear online focus

The launch was intended to be driven primarily through digital channels.

My responsibility

Concept, structure and content in direct collaboration with product management.

02Complication

The product had become stronger, but the argument had not, and two teams were working past one another.

Benefits were missing

The page never explained why someone would actually need a WLAN Box.

Silos between product and online

Two sets of knowledge existed, but no shared picture of the customer.

Launch pressure

The page was the main sales channel for a new product.

03Approach

First analyse systematically, then rebuild consistently around use cases.

Heuristic evaluation as the basis

A structured review of the old page made every weakness explicit and defensible.

Benefit before technology

Usage scenarios, concrete advantages and purchase triggers became the backbone of the new page.

Product team as a partner

Clear briefs and joint alignment with product management and the agency replaced one-way handovers.

04Results

+600% conversion rate

A significant increase across both WLAN Box products.

Price increase driven by demand

Higher sales made a price adjustment possible.

Temporary sell-out

Demand exceeded stock planning.

Template for other pages

The benefit-led structure was reused on other product pages.

What I take away from it

Silos cost conversion

The biggest opportunity was not in visual design but in product knowledge that had never made it onto the page.

The product team is a source, not an opponent

I now actively pull in that knowledge instead of positioning myself as the online expert against the domain experts.

Benefits beat specifications

Purchase decisions are made around use cases, not data sheets.
