Dear Creators,
At Zazzle, we are committed to building one of the world's best platforms for Creators to monetize their passions for creating content. As such, Zazzle has and will continue to work with our creative community to invest in building the tools necessary to help you succeed in turning your passion into a money-making business. In addition to tooling and product investments, Zazzle increasingly invests into teams and tools behind-the-scenes that bring ever-increasing customers to your products and stores daily. We have and will continue to succeed together.
With that said, as you have likely heard in the news, costs (materials, shipping, advertising, etc.) to businesses have increased substantially in the past year due to inflationary pressures. This is indeed true for Zazzle and the hundreds of independent makers that the platform supports. In the face of these rising costs, from May 9th you will notice adjustments to consumer-facing product prices that generally range from increases of 3% to 15%. We would like to clarify that these changes come at no cost to you the Creator and, in fact, if you keep your royalty rates constant, it should mean more money for you per unit sold. It is our belief that these price changes will help Zazzle stay competitive from a market perspective while also enabling us to further invest in the success of the platform and your creative businesses.
The Creator Team.
