Man, that’s a lot of verbiage. As a shopper, I would act according to the maxim keep on scrolling.
it is a bit too much too read and fine print size discourages that even more.
however, the graphic itself is definitely quite eye-catching.
I’m wondering what it means … best deal on Zazzle? Best deal for that product type, best deal for that product on the web? It’s a bit redundant and often ‘not the best deal guaranteed’. That’s more my concern,
I think it’s misleading terminology.
Seems to say: This is the best deal you can find on the internet.
What it really says: This Zazzle deal is time limited, so act fast.
Yes, eye catching graphic for sure. You are right that the fine print is discouraging. I start to read something like that, and immediately think to myself that whatever “deal” they might be offering, I don’t have time to investigate the details, and I most certainly don’t want to put myself in the position of missing one of the important caveats, and thus losing money. I’m not that greedy so I pass on all confusing looking “deals”.
“Products labelled ‘Best Deal Guaranteed’ will not be offered with a higher discount on www.zazzle.com from October 11 until December 31 2022 on Zazzle.com”
This seems quite clear to me.
Perhaps that should be right up at the top in bold with the discount code- I skimmed through all the fine print, and totally missed that!
You are referring to the ‘terms’ for a standalone graphic. I never read the terms or even knew there were any. Many customers will be similarly afflicted.
Customers will just assume they’re being offered the ‘best deal guaranteed’ … and will take it to mean whatever it means to them … I don’t suppose it matters except that if there is a competing product on Zazzle with a lower royalty then they are NOT getting the ‘best deal guaranteed’ even within the terms.
‘Time Limited Deal’ makes more sense and they might then check what the time frame is.
IMO it cheapens the site
I think it looks pretty cool. I also read all the fine print, and it makes perfect sense to me.
Good work, zazzle team
I like the sticker, but I think the applicable text that was buried in the fine print "Products labelled ‘Best Deal Guaranteed’ will not be offered with a higher discount on www.zazzle.com from October 11 until December 31 2022 on Zazzle.com. " could have been added to the sticker (maybe a truncated version in circular text around the edge) or moved up to be bolded and the FIRST sentence of the fine print details…
Hey everyone,
Thanks again for sharing your feedback on this with us ![]()
Pádraig.
I think it is great. Most online and television shopping channels have some version of this. It is a concept that most people who shop online and from tv shopping channels understand.
At first I was looking around for the disclaimer text that usually follows an asterisk and didn’t see anything, so I clicked on the circle and after it showed “Loading…” for a few seconds the screen locked up completely - unable to do anything, hit escape a few times, nothing, so finally had to back out. Tried it on other products and same thing. Using Chrome, Windows 10.
I use a similar version of that on some PINS. Can’t say whether it gets more attention but as you said online and television use similar versions so it can’t hurt.
