Bullstrap's 10% off popup backfires

This week, I looked at a brand that’s now the top choice for leather cases since Apple ended theirs. After getting burned by cheap Amazon cases that peel in three months, a good friend recommended Bullstrap. Their full-grain leather iPhone cases age like a good wallet—something that I might actually want to use for years. But when I hit their site ready to drop $89 on a case, their popup immediately made me question if they understand their own value. Let’s break down what’s killing their...

I do this same analysis during strategy calls with consumer electronic and remote work tech brands. But because you’re subscribed to this newsletter, you’re...
