Case Study: The Slice grows a SaaS newsletter with EmailOctopus

The Slice - Customer Case Study

The Slice, a SaaS-focused newsletter founded by Nic Getkate, faced the challenge of finding an affordable and user-friendly email marketing platform that offered customization without vendor lock-in. The newsletter, which helps founders discover new tools, required a solution that was simple to use and supported a custom domain, which led them to evaluate options like Mailchimp and Substack before selecting EmailOctopus.

By implementing EmailOctopus, The Slice gained access to a platform praised for its simplicity, competitive free tier, and exceptional customer support. The solution enabled direct integration with their Carrd landing page and provided the freedom to fully customize the newsletter's design. This resulted in a growing subscriber base of over 900 users and a high open rate of 47%, all achieved without any paid advertising.
