I don't know if this is technically possible but given the many thousands of products being hidden due to optimization required, quick create update, affiliates and creators are left with thousands of links now returning to a Zazzle main page which doesn't help the customer, the creator or the affiliate.
If possible could those 'dead links' be configured to return to the creators storefront or profile instead?
This is a good idea for several reasons:
Improved customer experience: When a customer clicks on a product link expecting a specific item, landing on the Zazzle main page instead is frustrating. This redirection wastes the customer's time and hinders their ability to find the desired product.
Boosted sales for creators and affiliates: By directing customers to the creator's storefront or profile, they are more likely to see similar products or other creations by the same person. This can lead to increased sales for both the creator and any affiliates involved.
Reduced friction: A smoother customer journey translates to a better overall experience. When links seamlessly take customers to the intended product or creator's page, it reduces frustration and keeps them engaged in the buying process.
Valuable data for Zazzle: By analyzing traffic directed to a creators storefront or profile, Zazzle can gain valuable insights into customer preferences and buying habits. This data can then be used to inform future product creation and marketing strategies.
While technical limitations may exist, the potential benefits for customers, creators, and affiliates make this a worthwhile idea to explore.
Meanwhile there is a blog post here with suggestions of how creators can manage the hidden QC issue.
