Trade discounts for backlinks?

So I’m not sure if this would work (though I can’t see why not) but I’m wondering if this is a good idea. I sell beard care products, and I’m trying to gain more organic traffic and monthly sales. I’m considering generating unique discount code links and sending emails to relevant 3rd party sites in the niche to offer a discount on these products to their sites users in exchange for having a dofollow link on their site linking to it. I believe (with my little SEO knowledge) that this would 1) bring in more hopefully repeat customers from these sites and 2) Provide backlinks to my site from trusted/valuable sites. Of course these discount links would cut pretty sharply into my margin for these sales (if they only buy 1 product at a time), but I’d still make a little money while hopefully gaining overall lifetime value.

However, I’m not sure if these links would even provide any value, or if they would be penalized for some reason, or if it’s risky putting discount links out on public sites?

Alternatively I could just give these third parties 1 time discount links they could blast out to their users. Not really relevant to SEO but could still drive sales.
