Try making your Pinterest board names more detailed. “Christmas” and “Birthday” are not very specific descriptions on what’s in your boards. Try something like “DIY Customizable Christmas Gifts” instead. On both your Zazzle store and your Pinterest site, create and add relevant cover photos to promote your products. Using Zazzle’s auto-generated in-situ mock-ups doesn’t yield many clicks or sales because Pinterest is saturated with them, and most people will just keep moving on. You can create easy, professional-looking cover photos using Place-It, CreativeFabrica, and Canva. Subscriptions to any of those services are very reasonable, and definitely worth the money. Another good resource for cover photos is Etsy. You pay for individual product mock-ups vs. a subscription, so that can add up quickly.

You have a lot of nice designs. Some of your designs look a bit old-lady-ish to me (like your rose wedding patterns) — and I’m an old lady! Young brides are looking for contemporary patterns and designs, so try creating more contemporary patterns and designs in the wedding niche.

There are several paid Zazzle coaching programs available to help you jump-start your store and Pinterest traffic, and thus sales. Google “Zazzle Coaching” to see what’s available in your price range. 

Also follow and watch popular POD podcasters on YouTube for lots of free tips and information about how to generate sales on Zazzle and clicks on Pinterest.

Happy pinning!

My suggestion is if you use YouTube and find Pinterest coaching or tutorials they would be better than Z coaching programs.
For example, I spent many years in a Z coaching program and everything I learned from them about Pinterest was minimal compared to my own research. I'm sure someone who teaches how to use Pinterest for businesses would better suit your needs.

Also be aware that right now when pinning Collections from the Z share button many of your pins will not include the clickable product title for the customer to visit Z. When the potential customer clicks on the Z logo instead, the redirect it brings them to the Zazzle PInterest page. Is this a problem from Z? We don't know.

Thank you for your help DMargie. I watch a lot of YouTube and I have watched several Pinterest coaches too. Currently I find I like Michelle Stevens style and have been using some of her suggestions. I have restructured my Pinterest board a few times and the last time I decided it was too confusing to the eye so I am in the process of making changes. 

I also enjoy the discord for Snuggle Hamster Designs. They can answer just about any question that is asked and are very kind about it. They also share a lot of useful information in their articles and in the discord. 

Also,  I create my own pins in Canva or Tailwinds usually.  So, based on your info I am on the right track. I haven't used any Zazzle coaches but I do watch some of them on youtube too.

I checked out Michelle Stevens on YouTube, she provided good, solid, easy-to-understand advice for upping my Pinterest game. Thank you for the info!

You are welcome. It is nice to be able to help someone else. 

[Dmargie-1029]

Thank you.  I will check them out on YouTube.

you must add to your boards also other users pins in what relates to the subject and make boards by searchable subjects like "Christmas gifts for her"

Is your Pinterest account business or personal?  If it's a personal account, change it to a business account. It won't cost you anything unless you want to buy advertising through Pinterest. I have a business account and I am able to see how many views, and pins, each product is getting every day.
