How We Make Money
Our mission is to make wedding planning knowledge accessible to everyone, especially those who need it the most. To achieve this, we have developed an innovative revenue model that prioritizes the needs of our community. Instead of bombarding you with irrelevant ads, we carefully partner with brands that can provide products or services to genuinely assist our readers.
When we collaborate with a brand, we ensure that the partnership offers a triple win: it benefits our community by helping them save money or find valuable resources, it supports our partner when someone uses their service, and it allows us to sustain our work by receiving compensation for facilitating the introduction.
While most of our content is not directly monetized, we believe in transparency, and every time we work with a partner, we make sure to disclose it to you. This applies not only to our website but also across all of our platforms, including email and social media channels. You can see an example of a sponsorship disclosure at the top of this article on our website.
If you don’t see a disclosure on a particular article, it means we did not receive any compensation for that content. Sometimes, you may wonder why we include links to brands or companies without being paid for doing so. The answer is simple: we genuinely believe those resources can be helpful to you in your wedding planning process. Our editorial team invests their time and resources into creating informative and impactful articles that will make a difference in your wedding planning journey, and serving our readers is always our top priority. That’s why we’re still here after 15+ years!
As a small media brand, we understand the challenges faced by media companies. However, we are proud to have established a reliable method of funding our work that serves you first. This ensures that we can continue to provide you with stories and resources that will help you plan a budget-savvy wedding.
Rest assured, we thoroughly vet our advertisers to ensure they are a good fit for The Budget Savvy Bride audience. We prioritize your needs and strive to maintain the integrity and usefulness of our content throughout your wedding planning journey.
How We Select Our Advertising Partners
Our loyalty is to you, our dear readers, and our goal is always to be as helpful as possible. In order to provide all the incredible, free resources we do, we choose to partner with brands that truly provide value to couples throughout the wedding planning process.
We carefully choose our wedding planning partners to ensure the best experiences for our readers. We prioritize quality over quantity and have been known to turn down advertisers who don’t align with our mission to make your special day memorable and stress-free.
To guarantee that our partners offer valuable services, our dedicated team evaluates each opportunity through a rigorous vetting process. We ask important questions such as:
- Will this brand’s services truly enhance your wedding planning journey?
- Does this product/service help couples save time, money, or stress while planning?
- Do the offers provide true value to our audience?
We understand the importance of budgeting, so we negotiate with advertisers to score exclusive discounts or free trials on premium tools or services to provide unique value to our community.
Rest assured, we do the research and verification to ensure that the brands we work with are trustworthy and reliable. You can trust us to have your best interests at heart.
Thank you for entrusting us with your wedding planning journey! We hope to make it simpler, savvier, and less stressful with the help of our aligned partnerships.
