Affiliate Marketing Disclosure

How affiliate marketing works

When you make a purchase or, sometimes, carry out some other action as direct result of clicking on a link on our website, we may receive a small commission, known as an affiliate fee.

For example, when you click on links in our Directory we may receive a commission if you decide to make a purchase then or within 30 days of clicking on the link. We will indicate which brands we have an affiliate link with using these signs: ❀ OR *

The level of commission varies depending on the merchant but generally, it’s a few percent of the price of the item you purchase. Importantly, it does not affect the price you pay.

Our approach

As well as affiliate links with brands in our Directory, from time to time we may publish articles in the Green Salon Journal about our affiliate partners regarding promotions, offers, new products and so on. The links in these articles may also be affiliate links, which will be disclosed using these signs: ❀ OR *

Occasionally manufacturers and publishers send us items to review. In such instances, it will be clearly stated in the review that this is the case. Sponsored content is always clearly stamped ‘AD’ or ‘SPONSORED POST’, so you know when we have been paid to tell you about a product or service, however, we will always ensure that our content is honest and reflects our views as a company. We thoroughly assess each brand we choose to become affiliates with to ensure they’re in line with our 70+ sustainability criteria (which you can read about here).

Why? 

Clicking on affiliate marketing won’t cost you a penny or affect the price you pay for the item. However, for us, it’s valuable in supporting the work we’re doing. These links help to fund the directory, allowing us to research, and rate, more sustainable brands, and allowing you to build an ever greener lifestyle.

How? 

At Green Salon, we use a variety of affiliate link programmes with a large number of the sustainable brands we rate. The main affiliate platforms we use are Skimlinks, AWIN, Shopify and Sovrn, which many other websites use too. These websites work by linking to retailers and service providers, generating an affiliate link when applicable, which will consequently generate revenue for Green Salon if you choose to buy something from the site.

Importantly none of these links change what you see, track individuals’ personal data or the items you buy, however, it does allow us to continue researching, trialling and testing sustainable brands to support your green lifestyle.

We‘re committed to finding and promoting the greenest brands out there, and it’s thanks to affiliate marketing that we’re able to continue to operate our website at a high standard in a way that is free for consumers to use.
