Can you promote in r/email?

Tools and tips for email marketing, martech, deliverability, & management best practices. This is NOT the correct subreddit for questions regarding the use of individual e-mail accounts or for cold email marketing tools and strategies.

The short answer

Contribute helpful, content-rich posts (guides, case studies, analysis) using the correct flair and clearly disclose your affiliation; avoid promotional landing pages, affiliate links, cold-email tooling, or direct solicitations.

What works here

  • posting industry news or content-rich articles
  • using 'Service Provider' flair when appropriate
  • participating in discussions with disclosed affiliation

What gets posts removed

  • posting landing/pricing pages, homepages, or pure promotions
  • shilling, affiliate links, or posts that drive inbound marketing traffic
  • soliciting customers, leads, or help to abuse email (spam/cold-email tactics)
