I’ve been noticing a sudden and significant drop in my sales since April 1st. Up until then, I was getting regular daily sales, but now it slowed down drastically, I wonder if it’s because of the new terms of service update? Would like to know if anyone else is going through the same thing and what would be causing this.

I have the same issue. A 40% drop in sales and viewings. I was already in the promoter program and supposedly my store just flowed into the new Ambassador program. I have contacted them but not gotten any help.

My sales dropped dead in their tracks on April 1 and they’re still dead as of today, April 12. Not since my first six months here back in 2014 have I experienced this. I’m still getting views, so I checked some of my more popular products in the marketplace to see if maybe they were missing, but they aren’t. Where have the customers gone? What’s putting them off? What happened on April 1 other than that our royalty structure changed? I can’t figure it out. I’ve stopped putting time into Zazzle because, currently, there seems no point in doing so, particularly because new products have always taken quite a while to get established.

I have emailed them several times in this regard. Just got the pat response from the manual about doing blah blah blah…which I’m already doing. I think maybe they’re not marketing us any more.

Seems like we’re all seeing the same drop in sales. Clearly they’re not advertising our products or they’re testing new marketing strategies. I don’t even feel like working on my store anymore, just waiting for a motivational sale. Let’s hope it’s not a permanent change.

I already have the same # of sales so far this month, as I had the total of last month. Only February was lower by half. So … No, no DROP in sales.

That’s great! I’m glad your sales are steady. This has been my slowest month so far. It definitely doesn’t feel consistent for everyone.
Same here. No sales for past few days. Wonder what is happening? Royalties cut in half and declining sales. So much of hard work over the years just wasted…

Trumps Liberation day April 2nd, think people may be a bit spooked by tariffs?

Same here, sales have stopped totally after 3rd April … I was about to write about it and just find your post!
Low royalties and declining sales … I am losing all my motivation to create any new collection now 😞

Half the month has passed but sales still haven’t picked up like they used to.

Let’s see tariffs, trade wars, sinking stock market, US taxes due April 15th, gloomy US economic reports, mass layoffs of US federal workers and federal adjacent workers. Large parts of US recovering from storms and wild fires.

Today, I went to Michael’s where the sales lady and I got into a conversation about climate change. I reminded her it’s been changing for all the history of the earth and that we’ve had global warming since the last ice age. Accepting the vicissitudes of climate rather than focusing on doom and gloom might be the answer. She was so pleased to hear something positive that she gave me her personal discount on my purchase. It’s all in the attitude. I wish I could spread that sense of things around the world. (And then our sales would go up.)

Thank you for letting me know those higher prices, heating bills and taxes are all in my imagination. BTW my comments were about economics not Climate Change.

The connection between what you wrote and what I wrote was the underlying negative aura, which is what happened with the sales lady, who was bummed out by climate change just as you appear to be by the current economic state. You might think I was belittling you, but that’s not the sort of thing I ever do. Sorry you saw it that way.

I came to the forum to see if anyone else had noticed a drop in sales — so yep - me, too.

Exactly. I would amend and say the climate has been changing since day one - billions of years ago. Further, inflation is down, egg prices are down, gas prices are down. A start. There was a lot of damage done that can’t be fixed overnight.

Your response made me sad. Ignoring man’s effects on the climate or the economy is not an answer. It is not a positive outlook to me. It’s a : walking into traffic while looking at your phone mentality. I told my senators and congress folk to do something. And surprisingly enough of them did just that. There was a bipartisan effort to end Canadian tariffs. That’s a start to turning all my “likes” into “sales” again. Its time for unity and working together
