Sales down ?

[Peter222]

Just curious if anyone else has slow sales lately  ?

Congratulations!

The sale is "stuck",... 😞

All of my sales have been in the U.S except for two from the UK since the end of August. Is this my own anomaly or are others seeing something similar?

Pretty much the same here

@Barbara 

my sales are predominantly (80%) from the Zazzle U.S. domain. the number of my non-U.S. sales have really dropped this quarter. two consecutive months of dropping sales figures is highly unusual for me (I suppose I can attribute that to any number of economic and geopolitical reasons, not to mention discretionary income levels).

with not a sale today, I'm set for the second worst month of 2022 since February!

Unfortunately, it's a really bad sale,... It could be much better,... 😞

I sold a small item today and made $1.21   Who's jealous?  😝😝

[Pmpolite83]

That's 1.21 more then I did today. lol

Had quite a good week last week, had hoped for better this week but it's gone a bit quiet.
Oddly though, I'm getting lots of traffic but no-one's biting.
Hopefully they're all bookmarking what they're going to buy later in the month (crosses fingers).

Noel from Whakatane (New Zealand), has just bought a car magnet for a margin of $1.80NZD!

Thank you Noel!

Today I made my first Christmas sale of the season. It's the time of hope, right?

I created three super cute Christmas collections and sold zero products. I don’t know what happened in december, because my sales dropped about 80% compared to october and 70% compared to november. And I’m promoting.

Coincidence or no, my zrank went subtlety down from 8 to 7 even improving the appearance of the store, deleting some products that didn’t sell and creating good new ones.

I read about zrank dropping when you raise your royalty rate, which I did recently, but after the traditional freeze. But maybe that happened because I created new products after changing my base royalty (mainly to avoid receiving less than expected when people transfer the designs).

All I know is that I’m completely disappointed this month by how my efforts were rewarded… 😞

[MadjackGG]

I also saw my zrank drop by one (from 7 to 6), about three weeks out from Xmas.
I hadn't changed my royalty rate from 12.5%, so I thought it may be because I'd had a few products time out at 13 months since they were last viewed. So I reset those, but my zrank of 7 hasn't returned.

I've actually had mostly daily sales too, so was a bit peeved to see my rank reduce.
Like, merry Xmas to you too Zazzle.

Dear Catinarezl,  I just checked out your site.  You have some cute designs.  I also could see that you have already earned Bronze status and that with less than 100 products.  This is awesome!  People really must like your designs. Maybe all you need to do is place your designs on more products.

Has the calculation for payment for October 2022 passed (it's already November 4) ?

[Barbara]

I was just now shocked by having sold a clock. Really? It's a Christmas miracle.

Congratulations!  It's a little late to serve as a Christmas present.  Maybe they bought it for themselves so that they will not be late again next Christmas.😀

[Barbara]

I buy my own self Christmas presents now and then regardless of the time of year. Maybe the customer is a kindred soul.

Good for you!  I also buy myself presents for Christmas but I wait until after Christmas, when they're cheaper.  I'm planning on buying myself new sweaters.  Hopefully there are still some good ones left.  Winters last way to long and I am sooo tired of wearing the same old sweaters.

I never thought I would be on the "other side", but... my sales are up.

And what has changed? I think it happened because I've been working more on SEO, uploading new designs and transferring the old designs to new products.

I've been trying to get out of the "Bronze Limbo" and move to Silver Seller.

sales way down for me in the past couple months, i felt like my shops were doing pretty good all last year (comparative to past year) so a bit disheartening for  it to suddenly drop off like this. Glad I've not been the only one though 😞 still hoping it will pick back up.
