Advertising Disclosure

Last Updated: November 21, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Friction Less Marketing, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising relationships and financial arrangements. This disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various partnerships and how this might influence the content and recommendations on our website.

We are committed to maintaining our integrity and your trust by clearly disclosing any financial relationships that could influence our content. This policy is designed to comply with advertising standards and regulations, including guidance from the Competition and Markets Authority and the Advertising Standards Authority.

Affiliate Relationships

Affiliate Program Participation

Friction Less Marketing participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links on our website and subsequently make purchases or engage services from third-party providers. These affiliate relationships include:

  • Marketing software and technology platforms we recommend to clients
  • Professional services and tools relevant to digital marketing
  • Educational resources and training programs for marketing professionals
  • Business services that complement our marketing offerings

Commission-Based Link Explanations

When we include affiliate links in our content, clicking these links and making a purchase may result in us receiving a commission at no additional cost to you. The commission we receive is typically a percentage of the sale price or a fixed fee paid by the merchant.

It's important to understand that receiving a commission does not influence the price you pay. The cost to you remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the provider's website. Our affiliate partnerships are carefully selected based on quality, relevance, and value to our audience.

Our product and service recommendations are guided by the following principles:

  • We only recommend products and services we have researched, evaluated, or used ourselves
  • Our recommendations are based on our professional assessment of quality and value
  • We believe the products and services we recommend can genuinely benefit our audience
  • Financial incentives do not compromise our professional integrity or honest opinions

Financial Relationship Transparency
