How affiliate links work on this site
Some links on Costume Realm point to products sold by third-party retailers. If you click one of those links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same whether you arrive through our link or go directly to the retailer.
Affiliate commissions are how this site funds itself. We do not run display advertising. Commissions from purchases cover the cost of running Costume Realm and allow us to keep publishing free costume guides.
Does this affect what we recommend?
Affiliate relationships do not determine which items appear in a guide or in what order. We do not add products to earn higher commissions, and we do not remove products because they pay less. The item list in each guide reflects what we think is genuinely useful for that costume.
For some niche characters, the available market is limited. There may be only one or two products that are close to the costume, and those products are not always well-reviewed or reasonably priced. In those cases the item stays in the guide because it is the only option, and the description says so. We would rather be honest about a product’s shortcomings than leave someone without a starting point.
