5 sales in 6 months

Hi, I started my zazzle store in June 2023 and I’m constantly working on it full time. But I’ve only sold 5 products (three desk mats and two bags) up till now. I was just wondering if this is normal or am I lacking in some areas. Please have a look at my store and guide me. https://www.zazzle.com/store/cozy_goods

I noticed you have many AFL team designs in your store. I believe those are trademarked and you are not permitted to sell products with trademarked team names, logos, etc.  You have some attractive designs in your store. It does take time to start making sales regularly. You have nice designs. There is a lot of competition in the wedding market, so be sure to follow current trends. Zazzle has a new 2024 creator guide for weddings that gives a good overview of what is currently popular along with colors, themes, and other recommendations. https://community.zazzle.com/t5/general-zazzle-discussion/creator-guide-updated-2024-wedding-guide-f...  Be sure to promote your designs on social media to get them in front of potential customers. Keep at it. Best of luck to you!

Hey thank you so much for your feedback on my store! For the AFL products I’m not using their logo in any of my designs I’m just using their name and their color theme. Plus I have actually sold two products from that collection, I’m really confused should I delete my AFL products collection? And what will happen to the royalties I earned from the AFL products? I would really appreciate your guidance.

Yes, using their names would still be a no-no if those names are trademarked... you may have been allowed to sell them, because as an American company Zazzle is less familiar with trademarked companies in Australia and the trademark holder hasn't noticed yet, but it would be best to delete them now.

you sold 3 desk mats an 2 bags, that was pretty good, I haven't sold a single desk mats, it seems that this is your niche, now if you ask if it's normal, to sell low in first year, the answer is yes, that is normal for almost everybody.
And 2023 is the worst year for all online business.
