Few questions - Sellers UI vs customers, bulk updates

[lennyk]

Hi everyone,

This question is maybe more to zazzle product team, but I would like to hear your thoughts.
1. Why zazzle does not have different accounts or at least UI for store owners and buyers. It is extremely confusing to navigate and realize you see the list of products in your store or list of products in your personal account
2. I use my travel pictures as my designs put on print-on-demand zazzle products. I want to place the same picture with the same title and the same description to many products. It saves tons of time if I could do that, but I cannot. So every time to create a new product I must open existing one, select transfer design (which btw not always work) and find new product for that. It takes less time, than creating product from scratch (reentering title etc), but it is still time consuming. Can anyone suggest a quicker way for the task? 
3. How to remember which products already have my design and which do not???
Thank you

I'm not a Zazzle employee but will take a shot anyway (I don't think moderators work on weekends).

1)The easiest way (at least in my experience) is to stay in Store Management mode and only switch to View Public Storefront (upper right corner on the store banner) when absolutely needed. And then switch right back when I'm done with seeing how the store looks to customers.  This avoids confusion.

2)There used to be Quick Create (which does as you describe) but it has been discontinued. It has become clear that Zazzle doesn't want us to create products as quickly as possible. They want exquisite curation. Thus doing a series of design transfers is the fastest way available. It forces curation and attention to detail.

3)When in Store Management, you can search your store by title or tag (or product type). In this way, you can see which of your products already have a particular image.

I'm not the Zazzle police, but the rule of thumb is not to use the same title more than once or copy another design's title.

Obviously it's your choice (and I do this too), but it's best to find new titles for each item. I have been going through my designs trying to improve the titles and tags. I must admit that Zazzle adds their own bit to the end of each title, and I don't know if that makes a critical difference or not. Maybe someone can chip in with some advice.

If I have an image(they call it design) I would like to place on different kind of products (let's say on 50) changing title and description for each of them is not only a huge waste of time but also does not make any sense to me. It is the same design placed on different products.
