The test

Who sees it

People active in 7 communities and searching 22 keywords you approved, in the US. Ads show in the feed and under posts, not only inside those communities

Change

Budget

$50 a day. Reddit can spend up to 20% more on a day, so we set a $1,400 spend cap on the campaign. Reddit suggests two ad groups; this is the lean version

Change

Learns from

Add to cart first, because it happens more often than a purchase on a small budget

Change

Keep it if

8 in 10 likely that an order costs under $37 after 28 days and 6 orders. Stops after day 14 if that falls under 1 in 10. Can extend once by 2 weeks. Click rates show in 7 to 10 days
