Bring your questions about:

  • Choosing the right campaign path for your business and budget.
  • Setting up Pixel, CAPI, catalogs, feeds, and conversion measurement.
  • Using DPA, Max, Carousel, Conversation placement, retargeting, and holiday creative.
  • Knowing when to launch, how long to let campaigns learn, and when to scale.

Hosts: Lucy Cao (u/Upper_Homework7535) and Shay Buckway (u/MountainGuardians) | Hosted with u/redditforbusiness | September 23, 12 PM PST

Ask your questions below! The team will answer them live and share practical next steps you can use before the holiday peak.

Admin Responded How can I use Reddit for marketing?

3 Upvotes

Most of the advice for Reddit Marketing is "Find a relatable subreddit and give a useful answer".

What else?

Even though many subreddits prohibit us from using links in the post, how could I use Reddit for marketing?

Hello.

I have tried YouTube promotions which does bring website visits but not a great amount of signups so i dont think they are targeting the right people.

Reddit from what i understand is a lot more specific but is 10X more expensive, i paid £150 for 6,000 visits for YouTube, for Reddit £1000 (£500 + £500 free credit) will bring estimated 1600 visits.

So is it really worth it? will those actually bring better signups because its more specific?

Admin Responded How do I see comments on my Reddit ads, and will I get notified?

3 Upvotes

I recently started running Reddit ads with comments enabled.

If someone leaves a comment on one of my ads, how do I find and read it?

Will Reddit send me a notification like it does when someone comments on a regular post, or do I need to check somewhere in Reddit Ads Manager?

I'd also like to know if there's a way to get notified immediately so I can respond to comments quickly.

Thanks for any help!

Admin Responded Anyone here using Reddit Pro? Is it actually useful?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I handle social for a small custom jewelry brand and we're thinking about trying Reddit Pro. I've read the official stuff but it doesn't really answer what I want to know, so figured I'd ask people who've actually used it.

A few things I'm stuck on:

Does karma still matter when you post from a Pro account, or is it the same as any other account?

Do mods treat Pro posts differently? Or do the usual self-promo rules still apply and posts get removed the same way?

If you've tried ads alongside organic posting, how did that go? Was it worth the spend for a tiny brand?

Anything you wish you'd known before starting?

We're not trying to spam anyone. I'd rather figure out how to show up in the right communities properly than get banned in a week. Any honest experience, good or bad, would really help. Thanks!

Admin Responded How do I replace an ad creative in the middle of a Reddit Ads campaign?

1 Upvotes

I'm currently running a Reddit Ads campaign and want to replace my existing creative with a new one without starting the entire campaign over.

What's the correct way to do this?

Can I swap the creative in the existing ad, or do I need to create a new ad within the same ad group and turn off the original?

I'm also wondering whether replacing the creative will reset the campaign's learning or affect its performance history.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's done this recently.

Promoting my productivity web app for the first time, my CTR looks good theoretically but CAC is way too high. Maybe my landing page needs more work or product is too niche. Just wondering if CTR reports on Reddit are accurate? How is your experience with Reddit ads so far?

(PS im a UX designer for a marketing agency which i think helped with the visuals and copy)

Admin Responded Best dimensions and safe zones for a text-only static Reddit ad on mobile?

3 Upvotes

I'm creating a text-only static image ad for Reddit. The creative uses bold typography, a black background, and a few accent colors. No photos, illustrations, or video.

The problem I'm running into is that Reddit's mobile ad preview cuts off parts of the image.

I tested the creative in Reddit Ads Manager using the Mobile → Card preview. The top of the image gets cropped, and the bottom of the ad—including important text—isn't visible.

I'm trying to figure out how to design this properly before launching.

For anyone who has experience running text-heavy static image ads on Reddit:

  1. What image dimensions and aspect ratio work best for mobile feed ads without important text getting cropped?
  2. Is 4:5 (1080 × 1350) actually displayed in full, or does Reddit crop it in certain mobile placements?
  3. Are there recommended safe zones or margins for text at the top, bottom, and sides?
  4. Does Reddit display the image differently in Card view, expanded view, iOS, and Android?
  5. Is there a reliable way to preview exactly what users will see in the mobile feed before publishing?
  6. For text-heavy creatives, would you recommend 4:5, 1:1, or another format?

My goal is simple: make sure the entire message is readable in the mobile feed without someone having to tap the image to expand it.

I'm particularly interested in advice from advertisers who have tested these formats on actual Reddit campaigns.

Thanks for any guidance or examples.

I have made a few advertising videos for a local business.

Can I post these, of course where allowable, on Reddit using my own account, or will I need to create another account?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Admin Responded Why are my reddit ads not being personalized I have been getting the same few reddit ads repeated over and over again. Like for example a specific medication that you don't need. It would be nice if there was more variety but I am still getting the same ads that I disliked months ago every day?

Admin Responded Reddit ads on my feed - what’s the logic?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I observed something just now and see if you have any opinions.

I write a post here about prop trading , and in the responses displayed, am seeing ad like hire global hiring !

Now that guy must have paid tons of money to Reddit to find this customer.

But I never uttered any hire word or anything even remotely relevant to this ad.

While paying customers think they can exploit the (free) subscribers here to bait their services and products, it’s Reddit who needs to show to the right people!

Anyway, just another way of stealing money from clients with false promises!

Great going Reddit

I've been running them for a while now to mixed success for our puzzle game Cages: Hidden Worlds.

I've tried following a couple of threads I saw on here on how to build a flow but the results have varied quite hard, so I wanted to see what your experience has been like recently.

What's you guys' approach to weed out creatives? How long do you leave a campaign up for? And do you have any universally applicable targeting tips?

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Admin Responded I cannot verify my username/business

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am trying to validate my username for business purposes and have the checkmark. The idea is that the verification process is failing and is always saying I am not uploading the right document.

The brand itself DJ MATEI is different than the company MIGRO EVENTS INTERNATIONAL SRL . Maybe it's due to this? Of course the company name is different for legal purposes.

Who should I contact to fix this and send the docs? Persona is redirecting me towards Reddit..

Thanks!

Admin Responded Draconian ad targeting policy

4 Upvotes

Hey folks -- I am a brand new small business. I've created an app for gay men, as I am myself a gay man. The app is live and ready for download... all I need now is users!

First, I thought I'd do some good old fashioned social media word-of-mouth marketing, and that I'd just post about my new app on all my favorite subreddits. Every reddit having a rule agains self promotion killed that pretty quick.

So naturally, I concede that I'll have to spend a little money on getting the word out. Reddit loves to tout its ability to target really specific, niche groups of people.

I just got off a call with an ads biz dev rep who was taking me through the process of setting up my first campaign. We failed to be able to target literally ANYTHING because my app is for gay people.

Keyword: gay... not allowed.

Keyword: mlm... not allowed.

Subreddit: gay_irl... not allowed.

I totally appreciate that sensitive groups should have guardrails on what can be advertised to them. For example, a gay subreddit shouldn't have ads for conversion therapy. But to wholesale block the targeting OF MY OWN COMMUNITY is a little insane, no?

I know there are folks from the ads team looking at this subreddit, so I need y'all to be real with me: am I just not going to be able to run ads? Can I go ahead and commit the budget that I'd set aside for reddit ads on something else that will actually be worth a damn?

Admin Responded Free-form ads suddenly barely showing across multiple accounts

3 Upvotes

I've been reviewing some of the data in our Reddit ads campaigns and we're seeing significant drops in impressions for our Free-form ads across multiple accounts.

It's so dramatic and it happened around the 24th or 25th in both accounts so it looks to me like there's been an update to the algorithm and this ad type isn't showing as frequently anymore.

Wondering if anybody else is seeing this.

Could somebody from the Reddit Ads team please confirm that there's been a change and whether you plan to address this?
