Just a thought > If you’re selling designs, your About section should clearly state how those products are made. That includes photography, painting, digital editing, licensed artwork, or any other toolset. Customers deserve to know what they’re buying and creators should be upfront about their process. I’ve noticed some recent pushback around how people create their products, especially when certain tools (AI) are involved. What’s frustrating is that the same voices asking for filters or disclaimers rarely explain how they make their own designs. That’s a double standard. Stylus tools, Photoshop, and layer-based editing are treated as acceptable. But if someone uses a different toolset (AI), suddenly it’s flagged or questioned. Why?  I don’t hide behind vague terms. If you’re using Photoshop, Procreate, or stylus-based digital tools, that’s digital art. If you’re using AI, that’s digital art. If you’re layering stock elements without attribution, that’s a conversation we should be having. My store is built on clarity. I create every product myself from the photography and layout to the design and text. My About section spells it out. I don’t mass upload. I don’t outsource. I don’t hide my process.  If we’re going to talk about transparency, it should apply to everyone. If you’re using templates, stock elements, or editing software, say so. If you’re building from scratch, great say that too. This isn’t about gatekeeping. It’s about being honest with customers and fair with each other. Isn’t it fair to expect transparency from all creators whether they’re using original photography, painting, digital editing, licensed artwork, or AI tools? ... View more

I was scrolling through leggings at marketplace today and discovered that there is a blind spot in the mockup designs and that blind spot is probably costing creators sales.  When leggings are shown styled as activewear / fitness the customers may scroll past thinking “I have enough workout gear” I am not sure why creators don’t show the legging or tank top in different mockups such as a casual shopping at the mall or work at the office look. In my opinion I think showing the mockups styled with different fashion looks would help sell the top or legging.  (Attract another customer) not just activewear.  Isn’t it better to sell a possibility, with your mockup by showing them “this legging isn’t just activewear” In my opinion I think you might sell more leggings and tank tops if you showed the customer how to put together the casual, business, or date night look.   ( I am adding  3 fashion look mockups to products to show customer how to create a unique style) I want to create a need for a product, I want to sell style, plus active or jean looks.   This is what I am working on… Business look Chic Abstract Gold Dusting on Black by FunkyAbstract_Gifts     Seasonal Look Autumn Leaves on Black by Susang6 Shopping Look Black and Silver Glitter Zebra Print Chic by Susang6 Dressy Casual look Abstract Copper Feather Print on Black by FunkyAbstract_Gifts ...

I'm constantly surprised by your product prices. I seriously wonder how this is justified? Take the mugs, for example—the prices are outrageous! You can get brand-name porcelain for that. I could understand it if it were full-surface printing. But the design placement is so limited, and sometimes you can't even use the entire surface. On the Favor Jars, the print band doesn't even go all the way around. There's a gap. It's incredibly embarrassing! And the scented candles, $40? Seriously? That's a cheap glass jar. You can get them at any discount store for $3. Even if the personalization argument is valid, and maybe that's why they find buyers, the price is still completely exorbitant because the printer doesn't care whether it's a name or just a pattern. So, there are cups, including espresso mugs. Great! But where are the saucers? Or even porcelain plates? That's so sad. But that's just a side note. My real concern is the prices and how low our earnings have become. What I love about Zazzle is the enormous product variety. You won't find that anywhere else, and that's what makes Zazzle unique for me. That's why I'm still here. But it's becoming very worrying when prices for buyers keep rising while commissions for designers plummet. Especially considering the current economic and political situation in some countries. I hope you still have a good time, stay creative, and don't let the madness of this time get you down.

I just watched a video that talked about creating multi-item listings (on Etsy), and I’m wondering if that’s a feature we can get on Zazzle. The idea is that once a customer clicks on your product listing, they will be able to access - and choose among - several variations of your product without leaving your listing. It’s different than simply clicking on a color variation button because each design in the listing can be different - for instance, a baby’s first Christmas design, but each design is unique, and not just a color variation. This has the potential to increase the chance of making a sale. Zazzle, is this a feature you can add to the Design Tool? Thanks! ... View more

Why do you all take away earnings from people's accounts?  There is no noble reason you can come up with.  Even though my account doesn't sell much, primarily because i don't actively promote ... you have been receiving free advertising from me for years without even being worth much. You want to charge me for associating with you? What real value does Zazzle even have? (Rhetorical Question)  The fact that you take away earnings from people that bring you attention is pure evil.  despicable.  Your site is so hard to take seriously as it is from a promoting standpoint.   ...

What Dark Cottagecore Really Is Dark cottagecore isn’t just lace and lanterns in the woods, it’s the other side of the fairytale. It’s what happens when the roses start to wilt and the moon rises over the garden. It’s where beauty meets melancholy, and nature shows her mysterious edge. At its heart, dark cottagecore is about romanticism, the longing for quiet places, for overgrown gardens and candlelight, for the feeling that something ancient and untamed still lingers beneath the charm. It borrows the softness of cottagecore , florals, tea sets, handwritten notes , and mixes it with shadow: deep colors, worn textures, and a touch of the gothic. It’s not about perfection. It’s about depth. It’s the scent of wet earth after rain, velvet drapes in an old parlor, the hum of a storm outside while you light another candle. It’s cozy and eerie all at once , a celebration of the beautiful and the strange. If classic cottagecore is sunlight and linen, dark cottagecore is moonlight and lace. It’s the same story, just told at night.   ... View more

I made my store banner at the recommended Zazzle size: Image Asset Sizes Needed for Your Store If you’re a new Creator or Maker and you’re building out your storefronts for the first time, don’t rely on the default image sizes to represent what it is you’re selling. Spruce it up as a way to brand your store and yourself! Tell a story with the images so customers will want to learn more about you and what you create. Below are the image sizes we suggest you use so you can have your store looking in top-tip shape: Banner The main banner to your store should be at least 2280 pixels wide by 380 pixels in height (e.g. 2280 x 380). When creating a banner at this size, during the upload the crop forces a smaller size. After experimenting, I discovered that 1380 x 380 worked almost perfectly.  WHY would Zazzle recommend the 2280 pixels when there is a forced crop to make it smaller?  Thanks, GwenV   ... View more

In my niche, I don't make Halloween products, so I have no stats to go by. But Halloween sales may be a bellwether for the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. That's why I'm asking the larger Zazzle community: How were your Halloween sales? Good, bad,  or indifferent? I suspect this holiday season will be a make-or-break one for many Zazzlers sitting on the fence about whether to stay on the platform or go, given the many changes that have been made since April. So, my curiosity is far from idle.  Stats? Thoughts? Comments? ... View more

I ordered some invitation samples and the colors are lacking. Is this normal? One in particular is supposed to be sage green but it arrived in a dull grey color.  The color works nicely it’s just not what I ordered and now I’m worried about large print jobs.  Is this a one off issue, or am I going to run into different colors with the printing job?  ...
