How We Helped The Daily Upside Grow Their Newsletter Business
The Daily Upside is a daily economy and investment newsletter that was running on MailChimp when they approached us for help. They had a little over 20k subscribers at the time, and their goal was to have a more robust brand appearance in front of their subscribers and to appear as a serious brand. They also wanted a system in which they would be able to measure the value of each subscriber even 6 or 12 months down the line.
Challenges
The Daily Upside’s challenge was that as subscribers’ engagement dwindles over time, it was crucial to be able to know which sources brought in more engaged subscribers. As a business, they needed to run paid ads to gather new subscribers, and they wanted to be able to measure the value of each subscriber. This is where we came in.
