Affiliate Relationships

PetalsIron participates in various affiliate programs that allow us to earn commissions when you purchase products or services through our recommendations.

How Affiliate Programs Work

When you click on certain links on our website or in our communications and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the vendor at no additional cost to you. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.

Types of Affiliate Relationships

Our Standards for Recommendations

When recommending products or services, whether affiliated or not, we:

• Only recommend products and services we genuinely believe provide value
• Base recommendations on quality, reliability, and relevance to your needs
• Disclose affiliate relationships clearly and prominently
• Never let commission rates influence our recommendations
• Regularly review and update our recommendations based on current information

Sponsored Content and Paid Partnerships

From time to time, we may create sponsored content or enter into paid partnerships with brands and service providers.

Identification of Sponsored Content

Editorial Independence

Even when content is sponsored:

• We maintain editorial control and only partner with brands we trust
• Our opinions and assessments remain honest and unbiased
• We clearly distinguish between our views and promotional messaging

Brand Partnerships

We may form longer-term partnerships with brands whose products or services align with our values and benefit our audience. These relationships are always disclosed transparently.
