They sell wedding invitations. I'll check them out when I'm in the market for wedding invitations. Right now, I'm heading to Martha Stewart and other home decor sellers, because I'm in the market for: https://www.pinterest.com/marilynscreativ/zazzle-wallpaper-coordinated-home-decor/

In case I need to explain my point, as I browse the internet it seems that I encounter ads from Zazzle everywhere, but it is always ads for wedding invitations. We now have Google AdSense on our blog and I see ads for Zazzle wedding invitations. Now, I know that people, who see Zazzle ads probably know that Zazzle has more than wedding invitations. However, for those of us, who are focusing on other products, could you please advertise other products instead of maintaining the "self-fulfilling prophecy" concept that Zazle = wedding invitations.

Many years ago, I read an interview someone did with Zazzle (which I cannot find). In it, it said that Zazzle made 50% profit on shirts and 70% profit on cards/invitations. (It was probably around the time they switched from shirts to paper, and I was looking for some explanation for it.) For whatever reason, Zazzle has gone all-in on paper and cut their shirt selection to about a third of what it once was. Apparently people buy enough greeting cards to warrant it. I have no idea.

Zazzle is going to do what Zazzle is going to do. They might offer an explanation, they might not. All we can do is roll with it as best we can. For what it's worth, I very much share your frustration.

Every youtube video I watch has the same ad for zazzle. Some girl talking about her wedding. I am not getting married. I'm single right now and nowhere close to getting married but smug zazzle girl has to rub it in my face constantly. Ugh so annoying.

I like your romance collection, very nice.

Some of the collections are ours, such as the roses, but some of the designs belong to IconDoIt, such as the Romance collection. We have to add at least one more collection of her designs. She has a lot more designs that are appropriate for home decor.

I was in our blog today and saw Zazzle ads for stickers and labels. The ads also had a -15 letting viewers know that the items were on sale.

I never, not ever, see Zazzle ads. Cars, Fabreze, T-Mobile, Harbor Freight, and such. I watch a lot of food-related videos, but rarely a food ad, instead ads for Cascade, which I suppose is vaguely related. I also watch a lot of music-related videos, those for DIY, and history/archeology, all with randomly unrelated ads for stuff I'll never buy. What should I watch in order to see a Zazzle ad?

Oh, and I'm not the least interested in weddings, not even to design for them. I guess I don't fit into any company's demographic.
