Keeping It Real & Transparent
Trust is everything. Here is exactly how Lauren Loves a Deal works, how I make money, and why it never costs you a penny.
✨ What is an Affiliate Link?
Great question! An affiliate link is a special URL that contains a tiny tracking code. If you click on one of the links on my site and make a purchase, the retailer (like Amazon, Walmart, or Target) sends me a small "thank you" commission.
The best part? It doesn't cost you a single cent extra.
The price is exactly the same for you whether you use my link or go directly to the store. The commission comes entirely out of the retailer's pocket, not yours. It basically lets me keep the lights on and the deals flowing!
📦 Amazon Associates Disclosure
Since I share a ton of amazing Amazon finds, I am required to tell you this official legal bit:
Lauren Loves a Deal is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
Basically, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. This helps me justify buying 17 different sweaters to find the one that doesn't itch. 😉
💖 My "Deal Queen" Promise
I started this site because I genuinely love finding bargains. I will never promote a product just to make a quick buck. Here is my vow to you:
- 🔍I Vet the Deals: I don't just post anything. I look for quality, real savings, and products I would actually buy myself.
- 💬Honesty First: If a product has a downside (like shipping takes forever), I'll tell you. No sugar-coating.
- 🛑No Sponsored Fluff: If a brand pays me to write a post (which is rare!), it will be clearly marked as "Sponsored" at the very top.
