AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

 

 

At The Swanky Merchant, we believe in transparency, trust, and honesty with our readers. Our content often includes links to products, tools, and retailers that we love and personally recommend. Some of these links are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission when you click them or make a purchase — at no additional cost to you.

 

This Affiliate Disclosure explains how those links work, how we earn income, and what that means for you as a visitor.

 

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click a link to a retailer or product on our website:

A cookie may be placed in your browser by the retailer or affiliate partner.

If you make a purchase, The Swanky Merchant may receive a small commission.

Your price is always the same — commissions do not increase costs for you.

These commissions help support our website, content creation, photography, tutorials, organization tips, DIY guides, and everything else we pour into The Swanky Merchant.

 

Our Promise to You

Your trust means everything to us. That’s why we only recommend products that:

  • Fit our soft-luxury, warm-neutral aesthetic

  • Are genuinely useful, stylish, or high-quality

  • We would recommend to friends or family

  • Align with the lifestyle and values of our readers

  • Come from retailers we know, use, and trust

 

We do not promote products solely for commission.
We do not allow brands or retailers to dictate our opinions.
We do not recommend items we wouldn’t use ourselves.

 

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

The Swanky Merchant may earn commissions through several affiliate marketing networks, including but not limited to:

  • CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)

  • Amazon Associates

  • ShareASale

  • Impact Radius

  • Home décor, furniture, and lifestyle retail partners

 

These programs allow us to recommend products we love and earn compensation when readers choose to shop through our curated links.

 

Sponsored Content

From time to time, we may work with brands on sponsored posts or collaborations.
If a post is sponsored, it will be clearly labeled as:

  • “Sponsored”

  • “Paid Partnership”

  • “In Collaboration With…”

  • “Ad”

 

We only partner with brands that align with The Swanky Merchant’s mission, style, and values.

 

Editorial Integrity

While affiliate income is part of how we support this site, it does not influence:

  • What products we choose

  • How we review or discuss them

  • Whether we recommend them

 

Our content is created with the intent to inspire, educate, beautify, and simplify your home and lifestyle — whether or not you purchase anything through our links.

 

Your Choice Matters

You are never required to use our links.
But when you do, you directly support the growth of The Swanky Merchant — helping us create more guides, more DIY content, more curated finds, and more inspiration for your home.

 

Thank you for being part of this community.
