Has Anyone Tried Reddit Ads? Do They Really Attract New Customers?

Question

I’ve always known that Reddit has a massive user base, but I also realize that many subreddits have strict rules against promotional posts. I’m considering using Reddit Ads to bypass this, but I’m curious—do they really drive new customer acquisition effectively? For those who have tried it, how does it compare to other ad platforms like Google or Facebook? Would love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have!

I tried it years ago and it had really no results whatsoever, but I would be interested to see if that's changed.

We also considered trying our Reddit Ads but after a few PPC experts told me that companies are leaving Reddit (similar story to X), we decided not to try. And you're right that it's super difficult to promote your product there organically, even on threads that encourage you to share you product 😬

I’ve found that Reddit Ads can be effective, but it really depends on your target audience and how well you align your ads with the interests of specific subreddits. Compared to platforms like Facebook or Google, Reddit requires a more tailored approach to avoid coming across as too promotional. It’s also helpful to use ad copy that feels conversational and resonates with the community vibe. If you’re targeting niche groups, Reddit can definitely be a great option to consider!
