Have you tried targeted ads on reddit? Maybe for something like /r/snackexchange? I just spent $30 on a test ad, if you're interested I can share the traffic stats with you.

Hi, yes actually I tried exactly that. It cost me $60 / customer, which is over my lifetime value so I discontinued advertising there.

Here's my stats from the attempt: http://www.bemmu.com/stats-from-advertising-candy-japan-on-r...

Things might be different now, the page was less optimized back then. I might try again later, but I'm really hoping Reddit would just lower their minimum daily spend. Right now they have no advertiser there at all, I'd love to advertise if it was just a tad cheaper.

Nope, you're experience mirrors those of mine. It's hard to convert redditors; in part due to neglecting the self-serve platform. With that said, $60 to bring in a brand new customer isn't that bad.

Maybe it would be cheaper to hook up with a subreddit mod and run a give-a-way. $50 worth of candy for a front page post sounds like a better value :D

Wow, didn't even notice the sidebar before. Just contacted the admin to see if there's a way to get in there.
