DaySpring

DaySpring is one of the best-known names in Christian gifting, offering greeting cards, gifts, jewelry, art, home décor, devotional books, calendars, and free e-cards. For affiliates serving faith-based, gifting, or inspirational audiences, DaySpring's affiliate program is a natural fit: it converts warm, occasion-driven traffic into commissionable sales across a catalog of more than 2,600 products.

About DaySpring

DaySpring describes itself as a leading manufacturer and distributor of Christian cards, gifts, jewelry, art, décor and more, touching more than 850 million people each year through its products. The brand centers on sharing the message of God's love and presence through thoughtfully designed products — greeting cards for anniversaries, sympathy, baptism, confirmation, birthdays, and dozens of other occasions, alongside home décor such as candles, wall art, table runners, and pillows. DaySpring is now part of the Hallmark family and its collections appear both at DaySpring.com and through Hallmark's card-collection lineup. The catalog also includes free e-cards spanning holidays, birthdays, sympathy, and "just because" themes.

How the DaySpring affiliate program works

The DaySpring affiliate program is a single-tier, cost-per-sale (CPS) program, meaning you earn commission only on sales you directly generate. Reported terms vary slightly by network:

• Commission rate: Up to 16% commission according to the CJ Affiliate–managed program. On FlexOffers, the listed payout is 5% of online sales (SKU exclusions may apply). The higher tiers generally apply to non-coupon content sites.
• Commission structure: Percentage of sale value, paid one time per qualifying purchase (not recurring).
• Cookie duration: 30 days per FlexOffers; the Post Affiliate Pro directory lists it as N/A, so confirm inside the network before promoting.
• Payout frequency: Monthly, with no minimum payout noted.
• Geography: Focused on the USA.

The program is primarily managed through CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), where DaySpring first launched its program back in 2009. It is also available through FlexOffers and Sovrn Commerce, so you can join through whichever network you already use. To sign up, apply through the network's publisher registration, then request approval for the DaySpring program. Affiliates get access to promotional materials including HTML banners, image banners, and text links, along with the brand's eye-catching product imagery.

Who should promote DaySpring

DaySpring is a strong match for publishers and creators whose audiences intersect with Christian faith, inspirational content, and gift-giving. Consider it if you run:

• Faith-based blogs, devotional sites, or Christian lifestyle content
• Gifting and occasion guides (sympathy, baptism, confirmation, anniversary, new baby)
• Home décor and inspirational-product roundups
• Social media or influencer channels with a US-based, faith-aligned following

Because the program accepts link and banner advertisements, social media advertisements, and other traffic sources, it's flexible for both content sites and social creators. It is less relevant for audiences outside the United States or for non-faith verticals where the catalog won't resonate.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Up to 16% commission for content-focused (non-coupon) affiliates — competitive for a physical-goods gift retailer.
• Broad, evergreen catalog of 2,600+ products covering many occasions, which supports year-round content.
• 30-day cookie window (per FlexOffers) gives reasonable time for shoppers to convert.
• Monthly payouts with no minimum payout threshold noted.
• Available on multiple networks (CJ Affiliate, FlexOffers, Sovrn) so you can use existing accounts.
• Recognizable, trusted brand now tied to Hallmark, which can aid conversions.

Cons

• Commission rates differ noticeably by network (16% on CJ vs. 5% on FlexOffers), and top tiers typically exclude coupon sites — read each program's terms carefully.
• Cookie duration is listed as N/A in at least one directory, so it isn't consistently documented.
• Commissions are one-time only — no recurring revenue.
• Program is US-only, limiting international publishers.
• Payout methods aren't clearly published and depend on the network you join.
• SKU exclusions may apply, so not every product earns commission.

Overall, DaySpring is a solid, niche-defining program for anyone in the Christian gifting and inspirational space. The best economics come through the CJ Affiliate–managed program's higher tiers, but affiliates should verify the exact rate, cookie window, and payout method inside their chosen network before investing in content.
