I couldn't help but notice that what we're "designing" here is just the photo print, not the stand, and the stand is an optional charge. I just made a test product with a 7 x 5 print at 14.5% royalty. At list price, the print alone is $2.20, then the optional stand is an additional $11.65. So my question is, is the upcharge for the stand going to be subject to the 5% User-Option calculations or will our set royalty rate be applied to the print + stand total?
Also just noticed these are double-sided prints and the price for the print alone goes up a bit ($0.60 in the above case) if you put a design on both sides. And if you leave the back blank, the views don't include one of the back. That confused me as I was trying to see what the backside looked like. (If you add an image to the back, then previews show the back, too.)
"holder' is what Zazzle automatically appends to the product title. If you look here (Picture Ledge category sorted by newest) you can see how Creators are editing the title and "photo holder" seems to be most common.
If you publish it as print only, no holder, it still adds "holder" to the title.
I can see designing & marketing these for a specific use, like say table card numbers or counter signage, and tagging, titling and selecting your department based on that. So people will stumble on them if searching for "rustic floral table number signs" or whatever. But I can't see anyone other than Creators searching for these specifically as "wood block photo stand" or whatnot as you'd have to know you specifically want a wood block photo stand and that it's an accessory Zazzle carries. So I'm not sure it matters much what Zazzle is calling them, I think it's more important they are tagged & titled for the use-case you designed them for as that's the more likely thing people would be searching for.
The "About" for this product is all about the special high-quality printing process and type of paper with just a brief mention that you can add an optional wood block stand. Yet it's being titled and categorized based on that optional accessory. I don't understand this product.
Anyway, it says the paper is 120 lb., 17.5-point thick uncoated matte paper. That's the same as a matte postcard. But if you look at the one angled view provided, you can clearly see the thick white side which suggests the print is glued on foam board. So if someone orders just the print, do they get a print(s) of normal postcard thickness or would they get a piece of foam board? with the print(s) glued on it? If you de-select the stand, the previews don't include a side view, and the description doesn't explain any of this.
Hi James, you need to redo the angled preview:
Edit: as a side note, the used paper thickness and weight would be nice to have for 5x7 cards (324 GSM is pretty standard for branded greeting cards sold in retail), and I miss a glossy print option, or at least satin semi-gloss. Just two thoughts. Cheers!
