About Sips by

History

Sips by is an Austin, Texas-based tea discovery company founded in 2016 by Staci Brinkman. The brand became known for personalized tea subscription boxes that introduced customers to teas from a variety of independent and established tea makers. Current operating status, product availability, and affiliate availability through Sovrn Commerce should be verified before launching a campaign.

Product Types

Historically, Sips by has offered personalized monthly tea subscriptions, curated tea discovery boxes, gift subscriptions, individual teas, and tea accessories. Its selections have included loose-leaf and bagged black, green, white, and oolong teas, along with herbal infusions and caffeine-free blends. These describe its established offerings rather than a verified current catalog.

Target Audience

Sips by appeals to tea beginners, adventurous tea drinkers, subscription-box enthusiasts, and shoppers seeking thoughtful gifts. Its discovery-focused positioning is particularly relevant to customers who want to explore different tea brands, flavors, and caffeine levels without committing to full-size packages.

Unique Selling Points

The brand's signature offering has been a tea discovery box personalized around a customer's taste profile, preparation preferences, and caffeine choices. Its emphasis on sampling products from multiple tea makers distinguishes it from single-brand subscriptions. Personalized recommendations and accompanying brewing information have helped make unfamiliar teas more approachable. Affiliate marketers interested in promoting Sips by should use Sovrn Commerce to check current merchant availability and applicable terms; an active partnership cannot be confirmed here.

Marketing Tips

Content Ideas

  • Create a Sips by review focused on tea discovery, flavor preferences, and the customer experience. Verify current products, pricing, and subscription availability before publishing, and use Sovrn Commerce affiliate links only if Sips by is available for your account.
  • Publish educational tea guides explaining differences among black, green, white, oolong, and herbal teas, with relevant Sips by recommendations drawn from its currently available assortment.
  • Develop tea-lover gift guides for holidays, birthdays, and thank-you occasions, featuring only Sips by products and gift options you have confirmed are available.
  • Produce authentic tasting notes, brewing demonstrations, and tea-and-food pairing content. Clearly distinguish firsthand experience from product information supplied by the merchant.

Promotional Strategies

  • Join Sovrn Commerce to access its merchant directory and thousands of merchant opportunities, then check whether Sips by is currently available to your account. Current Sips by participation, access requirements, and commercial terms cannot be verified here.
  • Use eligible Sovrn Commerce links in relevant reviews, comparison articles, and buying guides, placing recommendations where they naturally help readers make purchasing decisions.
  • Plan content around holiday gifting, Mother's Day, winter tea routines, and summer iced tea. Treat these as editorial opportunities rather than confirmed Sips by sales periods.
  • Promote discounts or affiliate-exclusive offers only after confirming their validity, expiration dates, eligibility, and permitted distribution channels through Sovrn Commerce or current merchant terms.
  • Use Sovrn reporting to assess available click, conversion, and revenue data, then refine content and placement based on observed performance rather than assumed commission rates.

Best Practices

  • Check Sips by's current availability and applicable terms in Sovrn Commerce before building a campaign. Do not assume immediate merchant approval, a particular commission rate, or a specific cookie duration.
  • Place clear, conspicuous affiliate disclosures near recommendations and links, and follow applicable advertising disclosure requirements.
  • Confirm product availability, shipping destinations, prices, and any subscription billing, renewal, or cancellation terms before describing an offer.
  • Avoid unsupported health claims about tea, including promises of detoxification, weight loss, or disease treatment. Describe flavor, ingredients, caffeine information, and brewing characteristics accurately.
  • Verify permissions before using merchant imagery, distributing coupon codes, sending promotional emails, running paid social campaigns, or bidding on branded search terms. Sips by-specific restrictions are not verified here.
  • Review articles regularly to remove expired offers, unavailable products, and outdated subscription claims, and test that Sovrn Commerce links reach the intended destination.

Target Audience

Ideal Customer

The personalized discovery format appeals to shoppers interested in convenient at-home rituals, customizable taste experiences and subscription gifts.
