Affiliate Disclosure | TrendyX

Last Updated: May 8, 2025

Introduction to Our Affiliate Disclosure

Welcome to TrendyX. We believe in complete transparency with our readers, which is why we’ve created this comprehensive Affiliate Disclosure page. This document explains how we may earn income through affiliate links and partnerships when you read our fashion content, product reviews, and style guides.

At TrendyX, we are committed to providing authentic, valuable content about fashion and lifestyle trends. While we may earn commissions through certain links, our editorial integrity always comes first. As noted by impact.com, clear affiliate disclosures help build trust and ensure compliance with regulations.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are specialized URLs that contain a unique identifier. When you click on these links and make a purchase, the company tracks that the referral came from our website and pays us a small commission as a thank you for sending business their way.

Important: Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. You’ll pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s website.

Our Affiliate Relationships

TrendyX participates in several affiliate programs, including:

Amazon Associates Program: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases when you buy fashion items, accessories, or beauty products through our links.
Fashion Retailer Programs: We partner with major fashion brands and retailers for clothing, accessories, and footwear recommendations.
Beauty and Lifestyle Brands: We may receive compensation when you purchase beauty products or lifestyle items through our links.
Subscription Services: We participate in affiliate programs with fashion subscription boxes and beauty membership programs.

Our product recommendations are based on several important factors:

Quality and Performance: We only recommend fashion and lifestyle products we believe in
Relevance to Our Readers: We focus on products that enhance your personal style
Value: We look for products that offer good value at different price points
Reader Feedback: We consider feedback from our fashion community

When we review products discussed in our seasonal trends articles or styling tips mentioned in our lifestyle content, our primary goal is to provide honest, helpful information-regardless of affiliate relationships.

How We Disclose Affiliate Links

Following FTC guidelines, we disclose our affiliate relationships in multiple locations:

On Blog Posts and Articles

Every article that contains affiliate links includes a clear disclosure at the top of the page, before any affiliate links appear. This aligns with recommendations from Termly that disclosures must appear before affiliate links.

Our standard disclosure at the top of articles reads:

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase products through these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend products we believe will enhance your personal style.

In Product Reviews

For dedicated product review articles, we include a more detailed disclosure explaining our testing and review process.

Site-Wide Disclosure

This comprehensive Affiliate Disclosure page is accessible from our site footer and linked from all pages containing affiliate content.

Types of Compensation We Receive

As noted by BixGrow, affiliate marketers may be compensated in various ways. At TrendyX, we may receive:

Commission on sales: When you purchase a product through our links
Free products or services: Sometimes for testing and review purposes
Performance bonuses: From partners when certain sales thresholds are met
Flat fees: For featuring certain products or brands

Regardless of the compensation type, we maintain editorial independence and only recommend products we truly believe in.

Our Affiliate Partners

We partner with various fashion and lifestyle brands, including:

Popular clothing retailers
Beauty and skincare brands
Accessories and jewelry companies
Home decor and lifestyle stores
Fashion subscription services

While these partnerships may change over time, our commitment to transparency remains constant.

How Affiliate Links Affect Our Content

Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is produced independently of our affiliate partnerships. We maintain a strict separation between our content creation team and business relationships to ensure unbiased coverage of fashion trends and style advice.

Product Selection Process

When recommending fashion products or services, we follow this process:

Research market options based on quality, style, and user reviews
Evaluate products based on their merit and relevance to fashion-conscious readers
Consider reader needs and preferences across different style preferences and budgets
Check if affiliate programs exist for the best products (not the other way around)
Write honest recommendations regardless of commission potential

Impact on Our Content

Affiliate partnerships help support:

Detailed articles about seasonal fashion trends
In-depth style guides
Free access to most of our fashion content
Regular updates and new features on our website

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Affiliate Relationships

Do I pay more when I use affiliate links on TrendyX?

No, you never pay more when using our affiliate links. The price remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s website. The commission comes from the retailer’s marketing budget, not from an increased price for you.

How do you decide which fashion products to recommend?

Our recommendations are based on several factors: product quality, style relevance, value for money, and reader feedback. We prioritize honest assessments over commission potential, which is why we sometimes recommend products that don’t offer affiliate programs when we believe they’re the best option.

Are all links on TrendyX affiliate links?

No. While we do participate in affiliate programs, many links on our website are regular, non-affiliate links. These include links to fashion news sources, educational content, and internal pages within our website. We only use affiliate links when linking to products or services where we have an established affiliate relationship.

How can I tell which links are affiliate links?

We clearly disclose when content contains affiliate links at the top of each article. Additionally, in some browsers, hovering over a link may show the destination URL, which might contain affiliate identifiers. However, the simplest approach is to assume that product links in our review and recommendation content may be affiliate links.

Does TrendyX receive free products for review?

Sometimes manufacturers or retailers provide us with fashion products for review purposes. When this happens, we clearly disclose this information in our reviews. Receiving free products never guarantees a positive review – we remain committed to honest assessments regardless of how we obtained the product.

How does affiliate marketing affect your editorial decisions?

Our editorial decisions are made independently of our affiliate partnerships. We first determine what content would be valuable to our fashion-conscious audience, then create that content with editorial integrity. Only after deciding to cover a topic do we check if relevant affiliate programs exist. We never create content solely because of affiliate commission potential.

Can I support TrendyX without using affiliate links?

Yes! While using our affiliate links is a great way to support our fashion content at no cost to you, you can also support us by:

Sharing our articles with fellow fashion enthusiasts
Engaging with our content through comments
Following us on social media
Subscribing to our newsletter
Disabling ad blockers on our site

What happens if a product you’ve recommended through an affiliate link turns out to be defective?

We stand behind our recommendations, but occasionally products may not meet expectations. If you purchase a product through our affiliate links and experience issues, we encourage you to:

Contact the retailer directly for return or exchange options
Let us know about your experience so we can reconsider our recommendation
Check if we’ve updated our recommendation based on new information

Does TrendyX collect my personal information through affiliate links?

No. When you click on our affiliate links, we receive anonymous, aggregated data about link clicks, but we never receive or store your personal information, purchase details, or payment information. Your transaction is directly with the retailer, not with us.

How much commission does TrendyX earn from affiliate links?

Commission rates vary widely depending on the product category and affiliate program. Typically, they range from 1-10% for physical products like clothing or accessories, and sometimes higher percentages for digital products or subscription services. The exact commission structures are subject to our confidential agreements with affiliate partners.
