01Overview
About the HelloFresh affiliate program
HelloFresh is one of the highest-converting programs available to affiliates, for a simple reason: the first-box discount is aggressive enough that the trial is close to free. The creator's job is to communicate the offer, not to justify the price.

Because it is a flat bounty on new subscribers only, the program rewards reach. Creators with large but loosely engaged audiences often outperform smaller, highly engaged ones here, the reverse of what happens in beauty.
HelloFresh is the highest-converting program in the LinkApprove directory measured on click-to-sale rate. It is also where we see the most attempted incentivised traffic, so it carries stricter verification for new partners than any other program we run.
