Reddit Ads

Hello,
I was thinking about using Reddit ads to promote the pre - launch of Gonji Tea (https://tea.gonjitea.com/). Has anyone used them before? Any good or bad comments?

    I also have good and bad experiences with reddit ads. The review process can take long sometimes which is really annoying, but I guess they want to keep the ads relevant.

    Reddit ads are good for brand awareness, maybe not for purchasing. But I've had good luck with them before, and it's cheap enough to test. I think it should work well for tea, if you know the community well.

    • Think about providing useful information instead of a direct link to your website.
    • If providing a sales link, offer a discount
    • Redditors also love sales, but they are frugal and will compare prices.
    • I would consider offering an introductory 'taster' package at a slightly reduced price. That might work well.
    • if you have good storytelling attached to your tea and can make it really exciting, that will work for reddit. Why have you chosen each tea? What's special about it? Why can't I get it elsewhere?

      Thank you for the advice. I just did a small experiment. Fingers crossed!

        Good luck, would love to hear the results.

        What’s your ad?

    I am experimenting with ads on Reddit right now.

    The traffic is of much lower quality than from organic posts.

      Redditers typically hate ads and can smell marketers from miles away. You would need to have a super value proposition, and make your post not feel like an ad.

        Hello Steve,
        Already trying with FB ads. I just want to try and experiment with all the tools that are available to see which one is the best fit.

        Thank you!
