How We Make Money

It's perfectly understandable to have doubts and concerns about coupon sites and how they earn commissions. Our primary mission is to provide users with a “safe place” where they can find verified and hand-tested coupons for businesses. Building a strong relationship based on trust, reciprocity, and transparency with our customers is incredibly important to us here at BravoDeal. We strive to be your go-to coupon finder, helping you save money on popular brands.

How Do Coupon Sites Work

Coupons have always been helpful when it comes to saving money and in recent years, coupon websites have revolutionized how we save money online. Transitioning from traditional printed coupons to convenient online options, coupon sites offer discount codes in one place to help users save money across various purchases. But how do coupons work, and what is the discount business model behind these coupon websites?

  • Commissions with Affiliate Marketing: When a user utilizes a discount code while making a purchase, the retailer provides a percentage commission to the coupon site. This commission does not affect the price for customers, ensuring they get the best deal without any extra cost.
  • Partnerships: Some brands choose to sponsor their offers or provide exclusive codes to coupon sites to gain more visibility. At BravoDeal, these coupon codes are always hand-tested, checked, and verified to ensure their authenticity and usability.
  • Newsletter and Email: Coupon sites often include sponsored offers in their newsletters for those who sign up. This is a great opportunity for customers to receive exclusive deals and an alternative way for coupon sites to save users money.

How Do We Earn Commission From Discount Codes

We earn commissions through brand coupon codes by participating in an affiliate system, similar to many other coupon sites. This means that when you use our discount codes to make a purchase, the retailer provides us with a percentage commission. It's important to note that this commission does not affect the price you pay—there is no extra cost to you.

Here is how to save with a BravoDeal coupon:

  1. Find the brand page: Start by searching for the brand you’re interested in on our site. You can search by the brand name or use our brand directory. 
  2. Find the coupon you want to use and click “get code”: Browse through the available discount codes and offers. Select the one that best suits your purchasing needs.
  3. The link will redirect you to the brand store: After clicking the “get code” button, you’ll be redirected to the retailer's store.
  4. At checkout, enter the code in the appropriate box: During the checkout process, enter the coupon code in the designated field and have your savings applied to your order. 
  5. After your transaction, we receive a small commission: Once your purchase is completed, we receive a small commission from the retailer. 

Using this affiliate system, we can offer users the best brand coupon codes at no additional cost. Check out our blog, Is BravoDeal Legit, to learn more about why you can trust us and how to protect yourself when using online coupons.
