Etsy
Etsy was slower than its competitive context warranted to invest in a fully optimized mobile shopping experience, maintaining a desktop-centric product design paradigm into a period when mobile was rapidly becoming the primary e-commerce access modality. This delay contributed to relative underperformance in buyer acquisition among younger demographics who were primarily mobile-native shoppers, and required subsequent catch-up investment to close the mobile experience gap with competitors like Depop that had been built mobile-first from inception.
