Reddit for Business vs. Yahoo Ads

I really love the platform of Reddit on which it is based, as it provides me the actual taste that our target audience seek and with Reddit for Business, it allows to get exactly the same. We can easily analyze the current trends and see which tags or comversations that are happening in the community, so we can follow the same and be the part of the flowing river. We also have had good experience regarding the ads campaigns we made using the Reddit for Business, we certainly been targetting the actual users, which makes our brand more relevant and gets skipped way less.

Good for instances where search campaigns are driving poor overall traffic. Campaigns for awareness work well, and you have pretty good control of how your ads look without having to do too much work. We've used this successfully for law, financial services, and political campaigns effectively. With Twitter banning political ads, and Facebook becoming increasingly strict on their approval guidelines, this may turn into the best alternative. Would not necessarily recommend for ecommerce campaigns, or lead based campaign where keeping cost per conversion down is a primary objective.

• No traffic -- despite a high ROI, the lack of overall spend led to us eventually remove support for the channel from our services.
• Nothing to differentiate it from other paid platforms -- Gemini didn't particularly offer anything new or novel that made it worth using over Bing and Google.

For usability, there is no way we can deduct any points. We have been using it for a month now, and I am using it every day to analyse the audience and trends. This helps me put the creativity and my time in the right direction instead of wasting on the other aspects that Reddit for Business covers. This have helped me significantly to generate more tractions for the brand and helped us gain significant audience. In last 6 months, we quadruple in our views and double in the followers.

One of my main pain points with yahoo gemini is that the product is very difficult to use and the UI seems like they took a skeleton of a similar product and made it bare bones functional for the purpose of generating ad spend. It is a huge barrier for new customers and I feel one of the main reasons they have new customers at all is all the free trial dollars they offer.

They were always super helpful during training and demoing and would answer any questions we had. We didn't have a direct account manager, which would have been nice, but I just don't think their size accommodates for that type of set up. They are very knowledgeable and help guide you through a set up for each particular client.

So although we use both platforms together, but we rely upon the Reddit for Business way more due to the fact of the platform (Reddit) it gathers the info from. So it helps our brand to position in the market better and accurately.

Yahoo Gemini! does stack up well against its competitors in the smaller spending realms. We've never been able to justify the ROI when we try to scale it up to even 10% - 15% of our spend. No, we've found that it's much better as a tangential win than a mainstream channel.

• I have noticed that using Reddit for Business, we can loop into the trends way faster than we used to do.
