Intro
Background
At Ladenzeile, under the Axel Springer umbrella, I had the privilege of delving into the untapped potential of online second-hand shopping. Leading the design direction and closely collaborating with the SEO, Growth, and Engineering departments, we collectively ushered in a successful launch, adding over a million products to our portfolio. It was rewarding to see our user testing successfully address pivotal challenges faced by both our users and our valued business partners in the second-hand market. Together, we innovatively introduced features that not only empower users but also make discovering and purchasing cherished items more accessible and affordable. I’m grateful for the team’s commitment and our shared drive to enhance the user experience.

Problem statement
Ladenzeile users, despite their interest in second-hand fashion as per early research, struggle with navigating the platform and have unresolved trust and awareness issues. Based on user interviews This often drives them to prefer other platforms or in-store experiences due to concerns over prices, sizes, product quality, authenticity, and return policies when considering online purchases.

Entry Points
If we provide relevant and intuitive entry points on the page, then the users will continue their journey on LZ
Price aware users
A forward visible smart generated filter associated with prices, and sizes curated based on criteria defined would solve the challenge of finding the right fit of a product.
Hypothesis
Awareness
If we introduce our second-hand category with KEY-credibility (SH USP) at first sight, then the users will shop SH on LZ and come back, because they trust us.
Automatisation feature
If we provide relevant content through automatizing the features on SH
LZ, THEN the users will always continue their shopping on LZ & come back, because they trust us and get good recommendations or substitute to new products.
