MonogrammedNapkins.com is committed to providing honest, helpful, and unbiased information about monogrammed napkins and personalized table linens. As part of our commitment to transparency, we want you to understand how we operate and how we may earn revenue from this website.
Affiliate Marketing Disclosure
MonogrammedNapkins.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may receive commissions for purchases made through certain links on our website. These programs include, but are not limited to:
Amazon Associates Program
MonogrammedNapkins.com 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 and affiliated sites.
Other Retail Affiliates
We may participate in affiliate programs with other retailers and service providers that sell napkins, table linens, and related products. This may include specialty linen retailers, craft suppliers, and event planning services.
Service Provider Affiliates
We may earn commissions from referrals to services related to event planning, custom embroidery, professional cleaning services, and other relevant businesses.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
1. You Click a Link
When you click on certain product links or recommendations on our site, you may be redirected to a retailer's website through our affiliate tracking system.
2. You Make a Purchase
If you decide to make a purchase from that retailer, we may receive a small commission from the sale. This commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget and does not add to your purchase price.
3. No Extra Cost to You
Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer and do not increase the price you pay for products. You pay the same price whether you use our links or navigate to the retailer directly.
Important Note
Our participation in affiliate programs helps support the research, content creation, and maintenance of MonogrammedNapkins.com. However, our affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content or recommendations. We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe will provide value to our readers.
Editorial Independence Policy
🔍 Research-Based Recommendations
All our recommendations are based on thorough research, quality assessments, and genuine value to our readers. We research products and services independently, considering factors like quality, price, user reviews, and suitability for different needs.
📝 Content First, Commerce Second
We create content based on what our readers need to know, not what might generate the highest commissions. Our editorial calendar and content decisions are made independently of any commercial relationships.
⚖️ Balanced Reviews
When we review or recommend products, we provide honest assessments including both positives and potential drawbacks. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, not just to drive sales.
🚫 No Pay-to-Play
Companies cannot pay to be featured in our content or to receive positive reviews. Our recommendations are earned based on merit, not payment.
