How are your sales these days?

Par for the course this time of year. It’ll pick up again after Christmas.

Good in November. Only 4 sales in December.
Many visits and few sales. Also some card cancellations because they were ordered too late and they don’t want them anymore or maybe the chosen paper was too thin and they don’t like it, but they wanted to save a little… Who knows? I need a little encouragement to see how sales and money is smaller every day…

My sales died this past Saturday. Since then, I’ve sold one pinback button. Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t order anything for Christmas right now, not online anyway, but if they’re not embroiled in holiday preparations, they might order something that has nothing to do with gifts. Hence, a button. One lonely, inconsequential button. Let’s hope people get money for Christmas and spend it at Zazzle in January.

The fall off is expected- when the date hits the point of no more delivery before Christmas, most everyone begins focusing on their other preparations. Here’s to hoping for a good post holiday gift card season.

sales definitely slowed for me approaching the third week of December … just 1 sale on the 21st but surprisingly, 9 sales on the 22nd.
pleasantly surprised to see customers are still buying and not just for Christmas.
My last sale was 3 days ago, so I suppose that´s it for this year;) Let´s focus on the new one! There is always an occasion! Kudos!
Sales are not progressing, they are frozen,… 
Stagnant as of the 18th…
I’ve had several sales Christmas week, even a referral on Christmas day for wrapping paper for next year.
Have you had a terrible drop in sales these days? 🤔
Yes. I’m not a large seller but what was a slow trickle has slowed to an intermittent drip. Last sale was 2/23. 
Sales have been away lately although Z is going up. Don´t know why?
only old product are getting sold, My new products are not getting enough attentions even they are more beautiful and cleaner in terms of designs. even have the same description, products and tags. 😅 aww common, this is like the success gets more successful, while the new ones struggles.
The algorithm does favor items with previous sales and those with more views and likes - so yeah, it’s often hard to get newer better stuff seen. BTW, do NOT use the same titles, tags, and descriptions for newer versions of old products - that will de-rank you in the algorithm. Each product should have a unique title, description, and tags.

Sales have slowed to a crawl on all the POD sites that I’m on. I used to get a handful of sales every day from each site; now I’m lucky if I get 1.
In my opinion it’s because of the “grind and hustle” spammers who have taken over the POD space. You know: the ones who preach to upload 100 designs every single day. I’d bet money they are why Zazzle got rid of quick create and also why another company recently halved their upload limit from 60 designs a day to 30. These people are ruining the industry.

I doubt quantity-not-quality folks are affecting our sales as much as they are Zazzle’s servers and indexers. This time of year has never been stellar, but combined with people tightening their belts due to horrid inflation, and sales have turned putrid. You can see signs of this in a wide variety of businesses, even the grocery stores. The only thing we can all do is wait it out and hope.

I know that google updated in 2023, not sure when have you searched for your individual products (like best sellers) in SEO..can you find your products in the SEO? I can’t. I can only find Pinterest product pins and a listing for my store name, but 0 individual products. I am thinking that the Google bots are not crawling our pages.

Yes my sales have stopped, they stopped and I am on record to having the worst month in over 3 years. I have been trying to figure it out and honestly think there may be a glitch that is hit or miss when I am signed out I can see a whole lot of other designers’ products populating under my product. I see this on other designers’ products also…so many products have the potential to hurt your sales. Maybe a nasty glitch, as it is hit or miss…I don’t see it all the time…
