Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 18, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Luminae, we believe in operating with complete transparency regarding our advertising and business relationships. This disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various advertising partnerships and how this might influence the content and recommendations on our website. We want you to understand the financial relationships that exist so you can make informed decisions about our services.
Purpose of This Disclosure
This advertising disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's requirements for online advertising and endorsements. We are committed to honest and transparent communication about any financial relationships that might influence the content we create or products and services we recommend.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
What Are Affiliate Relationships?
Affiliate marketing is a common practice where businesses earn commissions by recommending products or services. When you click on certain links on our website or make purchases through those links, we may receive a commission from the company offering the product or service.
This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the provider's website.
Our Affiliate Programs
Luminae may participate in affiliate programs with various companies, including but not limited to:
- Cleaning supply manufacturers and retailers
- Event planning platforms and services
- Professional equipment providers
- Technology and software solutions relevant to our industry
- Related service providers in the hospitality and events sector
Commission-Based Links
When we include affiliate links on our website:
- We may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through these links
- The commission does not affect the price you pay
- We only recommend products or services we believe provide genuine value
- Our recommendations are based on quality and relevance, not solely on commission rates
- We clearly identify affiliate links where required by law
Product Recommendations
While we may receive commissions for some product recommendations, we maintain editorial independence in our content. Our recommendations are based on actual experience, professional judgment, and what we believe will genuinely benefit our clients and website visitors. We do not allow financial relationships to compromise the integrity of our recommendations.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website. When we do:

When brand partnerships influence our content, we disclose these relationships clearly and maintain honest communication about our experiences with partner products or services.

Despite any advertising relationships, all content on our website reflects our genuine opinions and professional expertise. We do not publish content solely for promotional purposes without ensuring it provides real value to our audience. Our primary commitment is to our clients and website visitors, not to advertisers.
