I had a customer on Etsy ask me if I could send a cricket-themed birthday mug from the UK to Australia. I replied that I could, but the postage for such a parcel would be very high. As a suggested alternative, I created the same mug on Zazzle, put my commission at 20%, and sent the link to the customer in a private message (via Etsy). I gave the link to the product on the Zazzle.au site and also the Zazzle.co.uk site.  Today I awake to see that the purchase has been made. It's noted as being "3rd Party", and my fee is a paltry 81 pence! Zazzle - this isn't fair. Do something about it! ... View more

I am concerned about a series of product listings on the platform that feature the phrase “86 47.” While some may view this as political satire, the broader public interpretation often reads as an incitement to harm the 47th President of the United States. As you may know, “86” is slang for “eliminate” or “get rid of,” and “47” is widely associated with President Trump. Together, this phrase is frequently understood as a coded message advocating violence—something that goes beyond humor and into territory that can incite hate. I understand that Zazzle values creative expression. However, allowing slogans that can be construed as violent undermines the spirit of respectful dialogue and inclusive marketplace ethics. This goes against Zazzle’s stated content guidelines prohibiting hate speech or threats of violence. I request that your team review these listings with this context in mind and consider their removal. Doing so would send a strong message that Zazzle prioritizes ethical standards and public safety over politicized messaging that can provoke real-world harm.  (I searched 8647 and there are 6000+ products)  Thank you for your attention and commitment to maintaining a respectful and responsible platform. ...

Yesterday I worked on a new birthday invitation for about 3 hours.  I wasn't sure what font I wanted so I tried out several.  I would select a font, work with it a bit then look for a new one.  Every time I went to look at a new font it required clicking 5 times, just to get over to "All Fonts". In the 3 hours I was working on that card I must have clicked a hundred times, all trying to get back to "All Fonts".  Zazzle, please go back to the previous font tool or at least move "All Fonts" to the front of the line.  I appreciate trying something new, but this repetitive clicking is time consuming, aggravating and is not working.   ...

I’ve been taking a closer look at my mug pricing and wanted to share a few thoughts. I’d also love to hear how others approach royalties are you setting a flat storewide rate, like 25%, or adjusting item by item? I've been comparing similar mugs online and in local shops, especially those with a seasonal vibe. After some back-and-forth, I settled on $15.95 for the classic 11-ounce size with a 22.7% royalty. Why $15.95 instead of $16.00? It simply looks and feels better. Prices ending in .95 tend to resonate more with buyers, especially during promotions. This taps into psychological pricing those endings suggest a sale, even when it’s regular price. It’s a subtle but effective strategy: $15.95 or $15.99 feels more inviting than $16.00, even though the difference is just a few cents. Larger retailers have used this approach for decades, and I’ve found it works well here too. Do you price your mugs or other products with this strategy in mind?   Reference: Psychological Pricing – Definition, Examples, Strategies (WallStreetMojo) Written by Susan Golis, Freelance Writer and Content Creator  ...

I do not know why I never thought to have her try it out before (she is very young), but yesterday I helped my little granddaughter to use Zazzle.  We were choosing an ornament to feature a nice photo of her, as a gift for her mom. Once you are inside of the design tool, things are pretty much indestructible, so I did not have to worry about her deleting my image library or anything. (Can you imagine??!!!???). She had so much fun playing around with the options and told me she is going to keep doing Zazzle "when I grow up".  We have not quite finished yet, but will put the finishing touches on, the next time we get together. And then we will place the order, and have a lovely special keepsake she can wrap up and put under the tree this year. ... View more

A deep data cleanse in your browser "not just clearing history " is the most effective way to remove tracking cookies and referral data that could interfere with your earnings.   In Google Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data, then click the “Advanced” tab. Check “Cookies and other site data”, “Cached images and files”, and anything else relevant. Most importantly, under Time range, select “All time” to completely remove lingering data. This ensures referral cookies from other affiliates don’t override your link. Simply clearing history won’t erase these persistent trackers you must manually delete them in settings. For the record I have always did a deep cleanse in settings I don’t even know what a just clearing history is. For visual guides across browsers, check ExpertBeacon’s guide or PCMag’s walkthrough.  Opera’s blog explicitly states that clearing cookies and cache helps remove malware, adware, search hijackers, and trackers. So yes — a full cleanse does remove trackers, but the language in most articles is vague.  Next> Zazzle Referrals Tip: If a customer clicks your referral link but has cookies from another Zazzle affiliate, the sale may be credited to them not you unless the customer has cleared their browser fully through settings in their browser. Encourage them to start fresh so your link tracks correctly and your earnings stay intact.  Reminder: A quick "clear history" only scratches the surface. From now on, use your browser's Advanced settings and choose “All time” to clean cookies, cache, and site data. Soft clear won’t cut it do it the right way and protect your Ambassador revenue. Real-World Example: This is exactly why I was awarded the Ambassadors revenue even though I had a gazillion trackers following me! Deep cleanse of cookies, cache and site data for all time works, and so does clarity.  Food for Thought If you know your customers well or have built a rapport, this tip is worth sharing it empowers them and helps protect your ambassador integrity. That said, if you don’t have an established relationship, it might feel awkward or overly technical, so use your judgment and consider offering it as a general tip or blog post instead If you're still skeptical about whether clearing cookies and cached images really makes a difference, you're not alone — but the data says otherwise. Below are tech-forward sources that walk you through how deep browser cleaning helps eliminate tracking cookies, boost referral accuracy, and restore your privacy. Kinsta’s tutorial explains how tracking cookies work and how to remove them in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. For detailed, step-by-step instructions across desktop and mobile browsers, wikiHow’s guide is a handy resource. PixelPrivacy breaks down the tech behind cookie tracking and shows how to fully remove them across browsers. Meanwhile, USA Today’s article covers how advertisers sneak in hidden trackers and how to opt out using tools like WebChoices. Finally, Norton’s privacy guide explains cookie risks and how clearing your cache and site data helps protect your browser performance and personal information.   ... View more

Hi everyone, As we move through seasonal sales cycles like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Winter Solstice, and Christmas, it’s easy to focus on individual product tags but don’t overlook your storefront tags. These quiet champions play a big role in Zazzle’s internal search visibility and external SEO. Recently, I realized my store tags hadn’t been updated since 2009 (😳), and when I refreshed them with trend-driven, seasonal keywords like “Christmas in July,” I saw a clear increase in traffic and sales. Within five days, I sold a table lamp and 21 sheets of tissue paper. Coincidence? Maybe. But when your storefront  speaks the language of the season, customers (and algorithms) tend to listen. So what does updating store tags really do for you?  Features of a Seasonal Tag Refresh: Highlights your current niche, such as “Halloween decor,” “Yule gifts,” or “Christmas in July tissue paper” Helps Zazzle correctly categorize your shop for algorithm placement Aligns your brand with current search behavior and seasonal buyer intent  Benefits You Might See: Increased impressions during trend-driven searches More engagement with in-season products Sharper brand identity that evolves with the calendar Better alignment between About Page, homepage visibility, and customer expectations How to Update Store Tags Effectively: Use 5–8 specific keywords that reflect current offerings Rotate quarterly or monthly depending on your niche Explore trending phrases in Zazzle’s search bar or Google Trends Keep the language customer-friendly and seasonally relevant (e.g. “Spooky Halloween Invitations” vs. “October cards”) If your store’s still rocking tags from a bygone decade (guilty as charged), consider giving it a seasonal refresh your future views and sales might just thank you. Footnote: The strategies shared here came out of some weekend house cleaning. While updating my About section, I scrolled down and realized my store tags hadn’t been touched in years and they no longer reflected what was happening in my shop. I updated them using SEO phrases based on how customers actually search when shopping online. For anyone curious, Zazzle offers its own tagging recommendations in the Maker Manual: Make Your Tags Count and their broader Title, Description & Tagging Best Practices guide.   ... View more
