Partner with Crux Pass
Your brand. In every CruxFinder edition. For an entire year.
Not a banner. Not a one-off mention. A permanent position inside the most-read Amazon seller newsletter, featured 52 times, in 52 consecutive weekly editions, to thousands of active Amazon sellers who are buying, building, and scaling right now.
Only 4 founding slots remaining.
Who you are reaching
CruxFinder subscribers are not browsers. They are operators.
They run Amazon businesses at every stage, from emerging private label sellers to 7-figure brand owners managing complex multi-channel operations. They read CruxFinder because they are serious about the craft. They subscribe for the edge, not the entertainment.
When they see a deal on Crux Pass, they have the budget, the intent, and the context to act on it immediately.
What makes this different
Every other newsletter sponsorship gives you one shot.
A typical newsletter ad runs in one edition. You get one open rate, one click window, one day of visibility. Then it is gone. The next brand gets the slot. You are forgotten by Thursday.
Crux Pass gives you 52.
When you claim a Crux Pass slot, your brand is embedded into the permanent deal grid, and that grid is linked and highlighted in every single CruxFinder edition for 12 months straight. Every week, a new reader opens CruxFinder and sees the Crux Pass section.
This is not reach. This is presence.

Founding cohort, book now
The first 10 Crux Pass partners form the founding cohort. This matters for three reasons.
1. Lowest annual rate
Founding partners lock in the lowest price we will ever offer for a Crux Pass slot. Once all 10 slots are filled, the rate increases for any future cohort.
2. First-mover category exclusivity
We do not list two direct competitors in the same category. The first partner to claim a category owns it for their full 12-month term. Four categories are already locked.
3. Founding partner recognition
Founding partners are acknowledged in the Crux Pass launch edition and carry a Founding Partner marker on their deal card for the first 90 days.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the commitment?
Crux Pass slots are annual. One payment, 12 months of placement, 52 newsletter touchpoints.
Can I change my deal mid-year?
Yes. You can update the deal terms up to twice per year at no additional cost. We ask for 5 business days notice before any change goes live.
What deal should I offer?
The strongest performing deals in perks programs tend to be free trial extensions, credits with no card required, or a meaningfully larger discount than your public pricing. We can advise on what works best for your category based on what we have seen convert.
Do I get exclusivity in my category?
Yes. Once your category is claimed, no direct competitor can take a slot for the duration of your term. We define category narrowly: a PPC tool and a DSP tool are not the same category.
What is the redemption tracking methodology?
We use unique UTM-tagged URLs per partner. Your monthly report shows clicks from the deal grid and confirmed redemptions where the partner platform can report back. You can also layer your own tracking on top.
Is there a waitlist if all slots are filled?
Yes. If the founding cohort closes before you get in, we will add you to the Q2 waitlist and notify you when the next opening becomes available.
Can I see the newsletter before committing?
Absolutely. Subscribe at cruxfinder.com to read the last several editions and understand the audience before you decide.
Who do I speak to directly?
Email contact@cruxfinder.com and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
4 slots left. One year of visibility. Book before they're gone.
Every week you wait is another edition your competitor could have been in instead.
Or email contact@cruxfinder.com to ask a question first. We will reply within 24 hours.
