Why I cannot sell my t-shirts?

[Veselka_Store]

I have a question why I cannot sell my t-shirts? I used to sell a lot in my old store. I have lots of views, can you guys give me an objective critic of my t-shirts at my store? 
For example I love this tshirt and want to buy it for myself but customers look at it and don’t buy it. You can see here it had 38 views. Would like to hear your opinion please.

For example this tshirt is from my Kindness & Love. Motivational & Encouragement. Collection here which have more t-shirts. 
Why do you think they won’t sell but have views? It upsets me. What do you think is the cause?

The design is super cute, but looks very pale against the pink shirt. This makes it hard for viewers to see. Place it on a white or black shirt (or increase the saturation of the colors you used) to fix this. The text says, “let kindness bloom, but the illustration is the sun, so there’s a mismatch there. Either change the text to have something to do with the sun (or light), or switch out the sun to flowers.

@Jadendreamer13 Thank you for your feedback and opinion appreciate it, it’s helpful. 😊

I like it as it is and I like your mock-up too. Sometimes you don't know why something does not sell. I don't know if it would sell if you change the text for instance to "let kindness shine". Your sun also looks a bit like a flower, which is why I think it might not be the reason it would not sell. Also sometimes a product sits in your store for YEARS without anything happening and then suddenly it starts to sell. Good luck and hopefully it will sell soon!

@Anne Thank you Anne, it’s so good to hear different opinion from people, means a lot to me to know what you all think. 😊

Hi...your design is cute and I like the soft look of it, but I think t-shirts are highly competitive and over saturated. I have several designs for sale that are similar to this and have never sold a broad ranged t-shirt with just a design (that's just me, I'm sure other people sell lots with just a design), the shirts I have sold are for a specific businesses or category. Also 38 views is not a lot, I have some products with hundreds of views that have never sold. One of the advantages that Zazzle has over other pods is personalization of text, so that might be something to consider and like Anne said it might sell a couple years from now, you never know. We all second guess our products, just keep designing, when something sells make more that are similar, until you find something that clicks.

@CLC Thank you for your reply and feedback it’s really appreciated. I have a question by category what do you mean I don’t know? 

[CLC]

Hi...everyone used the word "Niche" I don't like that word so I avoid it, but what I mean is make designs that are very specific to a certain business or interest, like design a shirt for cat lovers, or dog lovers or tulips etc. and use tags that describe that specific interest, I'm no expert but that is the only way I have sold shirts.

@CLC  Awesome! Thank you very much for the explanation, that helped a lot.

I like the artwork but on the pink it looks faded.  You might want to put your artwork on white t-shirts then let the customer choose the color (pink, blue or whatever) ..the white is a good contrast and your colors will pop

@Susang6  Thank you for your reply and feedback Susan, I really would like to hear from everybody because not only you all know about designing and selling t-shirts, you give me a perspective of what customers think.

There are close to 31 MILLION tshirts on Zazzle.

 So IMO even 38 views is quite remarkable!

I'm sorry to see that you have either deleted or Hidden your shirt linked here. I like the design and the font and the pink and wouldn't think twice about the graphic being a sun while the text is about blooming. Most plants require sunlight to bloom so even if I was a really pedantic customer the shirt still makes sense and comes across as positive happy message. 

The custom cover is a bit off though as to me, her head looks way too big for her body.

@ColsCreations  Thank you for your reply I really appreciate that. Thank you for your feedback too. Oh wow I didn’t know there are so many t-shirts on Zazzle.

The t-shirt is now here

When I looked at the tshirt it looked to me that on Zazzle model mock up the image looked larger than on my cover and I want it to be the same as on my mockup, so I remade it to smaller and republished it again. I thought maybe be that was the problem. I too like it the way it is but customers just were not buying it and I wondered why 😊. 

[Veselka_Store]

I have many t-shirts, your feedback and advice everybody was helpful and eye opening. Thank you very much. This t-shirt has an option to choose any colour including white. 😊

i think because zazzle is no longer known for tshirts people if they want tshirts they will immidiatlly think aboit merch by amazon or other popular place i think zazzlés costumers look for baby shower or anniversary invitation cards the most

[Veselka_Store]

@lowic_art  Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. Gotta research about that. I used to sell lots of t-shirts around the World at my old Zazzle store. Not sure why in this store it’s not working. Gotta promote it better maybe be. I don’t know how to make baby shower and anniversary  invitations. I made lots of pretty wedding invitations, same thing lots of views no sale. May be I need to lower my royalty again now to 10% that will bring me luck again, when I lowered my royalty I started selling a lot. Go figure but still no t-shirts sold and I actually have the ones that been sold at old store, no selling now. And when I had high royalty I too was selling lots. Gotta uncover this secret. 😀
