Disclosure
ToyBloom believes in total transparency. We participate in the Amazon Associates Programme, earning small commissions on qualifying purchases. Here is how our affiliate model works and why it never affects our recommendations.
Summary statement
ToyBloom.com.au is a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.au.
When you click an outbound link on our website to Amazon AU and make a purchase, ToyBloom may earn a small referral commission at no extra cost to you.
1. How affiliate links work
When you click on a product link on ToyBloom (e.g. "View on Amazon AU"), a small tracking tag is attached to the URL. If you subsequently complete a purchase on Amazon AU within a specific tracking window (typically 24 hours), Amazon pays ToyBloom a small percentage of that sale as a referral fee.
Important note: Clicking an affiliate link does NOT change the price you pay on Amazon. You pay the exact same price as any other customer. The commission comes directly from Amazon's marketing budget.
2. Editorial independence
Our affiliate partnerships never influence our editorial decisions or product selections:
- We never accept payment or free products from manufacturers for placement in our guides.
- Every product recommendation is based strictly on our evaluation of developmental fit, material quality, and safety for the target age group.
- If a product is poorly made or developmentally inappropriate, we will not recommend it regardless of whether it offers an affiliate programme.
3. Why we use affiliate links
Operating ToyBloom — including ongoing website hosting, domain registration, research, writing, and editorial review — incurs financial costs. Affiliate commissions allow us to cover these operational expenses and keep all our educational guides 100% free for Australian families without cluttering the site with intrusive display ads or popups.
