Built 3 Niche Stores in My First Month – Would Love Some Expert Feedback!

Discussion Forums General Zazzle Discussion

Hi everyone! I’m still pretty new to Zazzle – been here for about a month now.

I’ve started 3 niche-focused stores. Two of them have over 80 products each, and the third one is just a few days old with 27 products so far.

I’m working on Zazzle most of the day and really putting in the effort, but I haven’t gotten any sales yet.

One thing I noticed early on is how kind and supportive this community is – people here really help out when someone’s just starting, and that gave me the courage to post this.

If any of you could take a quick look at my stores and let me know what I might be doing wrong or how I can improve, I’d really appreciate it :folded_hands:

I’m very serious about any feedback or suggestions you can offer — even if it means removing an entire store. I truly trust your experience and insights.

Here are the links to my stores:

:green_circle: KeepsakeGlobe (snow globes): https://www.zazzle.com/store/keepsakeglobe/products

:orange_circle: LuxeAcrylic (acrylic wedding & gift items): https://www.zazzle.com/store/luxeacrylic/products

:blue_circle: Studio20 (new, various designs): https://www.zazzle.com/store/studio20

Thanks so much in advance! I’m happy to return the favor if I can help in any way :yellow_heart:

Lovely! In the snowglobe store you say “Each globe is fully customizable with your own photos, names, dates, and special messages”

If I want to change the name Emma on this one, to Louise, how would I do that?

My advice (because so many others have asked for personal advice and you can find the answers on these forums) is stop making stores with only one product type. Many people have done this and found at some point Zazzle discontinued the product and their store was no longer useful. Zazzle had much nicer snow globes with glass globes for a number of years. Now those are gone, many designers were heartbroken. 

My advice is to diversify your snow globe store to include other products.

Bonus advice, combine the products from the other two stores into one. There is no need to work on two different stores with “event” kind of niches. If you drill down too far into niches you’ll find you are opening stores left and right. That is just insane. Too much work.

Thanks, Windy! That globe is a fixed design for Emma, so it can’t be customized.

The beauty of this platform is that names can be templated to change… When I was a kid I never had a name keychain, because my name was never on the rack along with all the Jennifer and Michelle and Susan items… Do yourself a favor make some templates and let everyone enjoy your designs…

Thank you so much for sharing that – you’re absolutely right! That really gave me something to think about. I’ll definitely look into adding name templates soon :blush:

Oh okay. So maybe your store description could be altered so that you are not telling customers that “Each globe is fully customizable with your own photos, names, dates, and special messages”

Better! It’s always good to be straightforward with the customers browsing your store and products.
