Artisans Noirs is a curated editorial platform that earns revenue through affiliate marketing. This page explains what that means, how it works, and what it means for you as a reader.
What is affiliate marketing?
When you click a link on Artisans Noirs and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the brand or retailer. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether you click our link or go directly to the brand’s website.
Which links are affiliate links?
Any link to a product, brand, or service on Artisans Noirs may be an affiliate link. We do not mark every individual link, but we include a disclosure notice at the top of every article that contains affiliate links. That notice reads:
“This post contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, which helps us keep curating. We only recommend brands we genuinely believe in.”
Does this affect our recommendations?
No. Our editorial decisions are made independently of our affiliate relationships. We curate brands because we believe they are exceptional — not because they pay us. We would rather feature a brand we love with no affiliate program than feature a brand we do not believe in that pays high commissions.
Every brand on Artisans Noirs is confirmed Black-owned and chosen based on quality, mission alignment, and genuine cultural value. Our affiliate relationships do not change that standard.
Which affiliate programs do we participate in?
We participate in affiliate programs including but not limited to Amazon Associates, ShareASale, Impact, and direct brand affiliate programs. The specific programs we work with may change over time as we add and remove brands from our platform.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to full transparency with our audience.
