It's clear from these forums that everyone is investing a lot of time to make great graphics and videos to enhance their product pages and collections and improve the interest and look of the site overall.
Zazzle team, how about a little reward for those who are making an effort. Here's what I was thinking ...
On our product pages currently right below the product you just see "Other designs you might like" - and below that comes the collection - including a video if one is included. For example, as shown below on products in that are part of my BBQ collection: Example
How about swapping the order of those and putting the collection up top if the seller makes the effort to include a video? Or just putting these beautiful collections up higher, regardless?
The moving images are more eye catching just below the product than simply another static row of products.
Doing this would certainly incentivize us to make more use of videos on our most important collections... and I think would also make the post pages more attractive!
@SwissVillage Thanks for bringing this up, I was just coming over to the forum to post about it. I think it's even worse. None of my collections have seen ANY improvement in visibility, all went down-hill, despite all efforts. And what you show about how your collection looks is actually amazing compared to what I have seen so far: the same tiny images as before this whole thing started (and indeed at the bottom of the page). I agree with @Connie however, that videos are not so much an improvement and more of yet another downgrade.
@MasterpieceCafe Thanks for pointing that out! Luckily I had not seen that yet, as it gives me a heart attack! It is next to impossible to find a collection!
No wonder customers are sending chat messages with questions about whether you have a certain product with that design as well.
So it looks like this was a big time deceiving move from Zazzle. ( trying to stay polite here)
