Email Referral System: Alchemist City

We built our own custom-developed referral web application for Alchemist City.
Growing an email newsletter-first media publication that needed quality subscribers.

Overview

Alchemist City is a startup niche publisher that needed a way to achieve organic subscriber growth. We created an entire web application for email subscriber referrals. Then we integrated this new technology into their email service provider (ESP) of choice.

Alchemist City now has an internal dashboard to review and manage their subscribers that’s constantly cross-synced to their ESP, with automated systems for tracking and sending out rewards as their audience gains referrals.

Thousands of new organic subscribers
each month. Zero paid media.

The publisher was receiving a modest few hundred new subscribers per month before the referral system kicked in. Afterwards, that number of new subscribers skyrocketed to three thousand average subscribers a month! All through a referral email marketing system.

Media doesn’t have to. 1300% signup growth in our first 3 months with 45%
open rates, 6-10% click-thru-rates that eventually laid the groundwork for
advertising monetization”
