How do you use the calendar? I'm still a newbie here.

The calendar is meant to help you see upcoming events, occasions and holidays so you can design ahead of them. the colors indicate when you should do your research and create your designs, then when you should post or list them on the zazzle marketplace and finally, when you should start promoting them online using your social media handles.

Hi, I am new here and I wondered if there is a chart that tells the recommended time to stop selling for a certain holiday to make sure the customer gets it in time. Thank you for your help. I like the chart you have. It will be very helpful. 

Follow what Scott says, it's the top message, he has the calendar, Follow the color key to figure out when to stop selling holiday items. If you're not sure ask Scott. 

Each product, depending on where it is made, has a different shipping timeframe to get it to the customer. Some products are printed and shipped within a few days and some could take up to weeks to be printed and shipped. It would be nearly impossible to create a calendar that indicated when all of Zazzle products for a given holiday could be expected to make it to the customer in time for that holiday.

Wish Zazzle still had (in previous years) access to other parts of the calendar i.e. write on certain dates, the space near the printed month where folks like us could write.  You had it before and then it was taken away. I could use that space.

Thanks for the calendar, I hadn't realized that you have to start creating so early. Thanks for that...

I wish this plan could be updated for 2024 ๐Ÿ˜

Since it doesnโ€™t references days of the week, It is the same every year, so no update required. 

Since Easter is early this year (end of March) I suppose you could shift the Easter tabs up 2 - 2.5 weeks.
