40% off on business cards....when is this suppose to end?

[donding]

For the last month they have been giving 40% discount for business card purchases. It's killing my royalties on my sales. I was shocked when I saw the 40% off. No wonder my royalties have dropped. I figured it would be over on the 1st, but it's still there. Any one know when this will end? The majority of my income comes from business card sales.

It says 'Valid until 11/2/2025 at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Time' in the promo details.

Hi, donding. I know it doesn’t help now with the freeze on modifying our royalties until the new year, but I recommend that once the window reopens, you consider modifying your royalties and presuming that business cards will be 40 percent off quite frequently. I’m not in this space, but this is a product that even I have noticed is deeply discounted nearly all the time on Zazzle. 

My suggestion is pricing so that if the product is 40 percent off, you still make a fair amount for your work. I like to look at what the customer will pay as well as my earnings to try to find a happy medium. 

Until then, be proud of your sales! Many are struggling to make sales right now, so this is good feedback that you are a strong designer with a good feel for your audience’s needs and wants. 😊

I used to have them set at 26% and then I noticed my sales royalties had really dropped off the deep end...so I turned around and redid my site and dropped the royalties to 10% thinking it would increase sales....that was before I noticed the 40% off last month so I turned around and increased it up to 25%. This month they are 30% off. I'm kinda out of luck now until after the 1st of the year. Just hope they don't offer 50% off in December. I should have paid more attention to the %off rather than assuming it was on my part. I should have left it alone.

Don’t blame yourself too much. It’s all a guessing game. Hang in there!
