Masset Journal Episode 2 - March 3 2025

Behind-the-scenes of building Masset: new features, performance upgrades, and why we ditched cold email for content-driven growth. Watch the update now.

March 3, 2025

At Masset, we believe in transparency, experimentation, and sharing our journey as we build our SaaS business in public. Each week, we provide an inside look at what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.

This Week’s Highlights

New Feature: Custom Image Downloads

One of the most requested features from our users was the ability to download images in different sizes and formats. This week, we rolled out custom image formats for downloads, allowing users to configure JPEG and PNG options based on their needs. This should help teams distribute production-ready files more efficiently.

Performance Upgrades for a Faster Experience

To support the new download feature and improve overall usability, we made backend infrastructure upgrades. Previews now generate faster, and users should notice improved performance across the platform.

Refining the Website and Creating Better Content

With any new website, there’s always room for improvement. We’ve been making refinements to enhance the user experience and are also working on video-based guides to make it easier for customers to learn how to use new features. Expect to see more instructional content soon.

Why We Ditched Cold Email Outreach

We experimented with outbound cold emails as a marketing channel, but it didn’t sit well with us. Despite working with a reputable team, the results weren’t compelling, and it felt misaligned with how we want to grow Masset. Instead, we’re shifting our focus to content-driven growth—creating valuable resources, engaging with our audience authentically, and sharing our story in ways that resonate.

Doubling Down on Content Strategy

We believe in the power of storytelling and that 95% of your target audience isn’t ready to buy today. Our job is to provide value consistently so that when they are ready, Masset is top of mind. We’re exploring new ways to amplify our content through podcasts, articles, and strategic distribution to reach the right people at the right time.
