AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE (AKA: HOW WE MAKE MONEY)
The short version: we don’t run ads and we don’t sell your data. When you buy something through a link on this site, the retailer may pay us a small referral fee. You pay exactly the same price either way.
Four steps, start to finish
If “affiliate link” is a phrase you’ve seen a hundred times and never had explained, here it is.
You click a link
Say you tap a bottle from our cologne guide or a jacket from a style guide. That link carries a tracking code.
The code reaches the retailer
It tells Amazon, or whoever, that someone arrived from Brostrick. None of your personal information goes with it. Only that a click happened.
You pay the normal price
Nothing about your price changes. No markup, no surcharge, no difference from going to the retailer directly.
The retailer pays us a fee
If you buy, we may earn a small commission from the retailer as a referral fee. That is the entire business model.
“No ads. No data selling. No robots.
Everything here is created by hand, and we stand by every item we choose.
Brostrick’s editors love telling you about the latest products, and we’ll sneak in the sales, deals and brand perks too. All of it is written by people.
We don’t run any advertising on the site, because ads are annoying. We do still have bills, so when you click through on a product we recommend, we may earn a commission from third parties like Amazon and through our partnership with Skimlinks. You pay nothing, and your price doesn’t change.
Do you only pick products that pay you?
Our editors choose products they actually love, have researched, and in some cases have tested themselves, whether or not the retailer pays a commission.
In practice they aren’t even checking. Between Amazon and Skimlinks we can link to more than 2,000 retailers, and nobody has time to look up which of those 2,000 pay. So our editors focus on the products, not the payouts. Take a tour around the site and you’ll find plenty of links to places that pay us nothing at all.
Where we can, we give you more than one place to buy, so you can choose the retailer that suits you on price, shipping, or just preference.
Who we actually work with
Free two-day shipping with Prime, same-day in parts of the US, and a catalog that covers most of what we recommend. Honestly, most of us shop there too.
Manages relationships with hundreds of other retailers on our behalf. It’s how we can link well beyond Amazon without a team of people negotiating deals, and how we find the occasional secret sale.
What the commissions actually pay for
In the same way we’re not fans of ads, we don’t believe in collecting or selling data from our readers. We do not sell your data, ever.
Humans, since June 2014.
Nothing on Brostrick is generated by systems or steered by advertisers. An editor is writing about products they like, building guides around what they love, what’s popular, and what we’ve learned our readers obsess over.
We typically love it, and typically use it. If we haven’t used something ourselves, we read endless third-party reviews, ask the people who swear by it, and watch what’s trending on TikTok, Instagram and sometimes Facebook. For individual reviews, especially in beauty and skincare, our editors have used or tested the product for roughly 7 to 30 days.
And sometimes we get it wrong. Something we loved a few years ago may not be something we’d pick today. We take those down when we spot them, but we’re human, so one or two may slip through.
