Can you promote in r/glasgowmarket?
A dedicated subreddit for items being bought/sold in Glasgow, as an alternative to sites like Gumtree.
The short answer
Reply politely and helpfully to leads, focus on the item, local logistics and price; you may mention your product/company briefly but keep it transactional and not promotional.
What works here
- Posting items for sale or buying requests in/around Glasgow
- Responding to relevant leads about listings
- Discussing price, condition, and local pickup/delivery details
What gets posts removed
- Posting job listings (use /r/GlasgowJobs)
- Broad or off-topic promotion not tied to a specific local sale
- Spammy or disrespectful behaviour
