Marketing Practice is a digital publication operated by Northstack Media LLC.
Some links on Marketing Practice may be affiliate links.
If you click an affiliate link and purchase a product, begin a subscription, register for a service, or complete another qualifying action, Northstack Media LLC may receive a commission or other compensation.
Using an affiliate link ordinarily does not change the price you pay. Pricing, fees, subscription terms, eligibility requirements, and transaction conditions are controlled by the applicable provider.
Why Marketing Practice uses affiliate links
Affiliate revenue can help support:
- Website hosting and technical services
- Marketing research
- Editorial work
- Content maintenance and updates
- Publishing expenses
- Continued operation of Marketing Practice
An affiliate relationship does not guarantee favorable coverage, inclusion in an article, a particular rating, ranking, or recommendation.
Editorial independence
When discussing marketing products and services, Marketing Practice aims to consider factors relevant to the applicable use case, potentially including:
- Capabilities

- Integrations
- Ease of use
- Data and privacy considerations
- Pricing
- Usage limits
- Reporting capabilities
- Administrative requirements
- Limitations
- Provider documentation
We do not claim firsthand testing unless the applicable article expressly states that testing occurred.
When content relies upon provider documentation, demonstrations, published specifications, public information, research, or other sources rather than direct testing, we aim not to characterize that information as firsthand experience.
Material relationships
Marketing Practice may receive:
- Affiliate commissions
- Referral fees
- Free or discounted software
- Trial accounts
- Demonstration access
- Sponsorship payments
- Other benefits from companies mentioned on the website
When a material relationship applies to an endorsement or recommendation, we intend to disclose it clearly and close to the relevant content.
