Here are a few suggestions to aid with the ginormous task facing creators, updating collections. I've calculated it would take me 2yrs working full time to update all my collections to the degree the options require. This time frame can be reduced with some tweaks and additions and I think given Zazzle want all of us on board with collections, the more we can reduce the massive workload on creators the better for all. My reasons for not doing things by halves and wanting to make the most of your snazzy new features: I love the new collection feature and I love the new media options (LOVE LOVE LOVE! Did I mention I LOVE them!!)  but the need to self-market is more pressing than ever due to editors picks dominating most niches (several pages deep) combined with the 'most popular' and 'lowest price' filters not working means there is significantly reduced visibility in the marketplace based on organic searches. The searches I run for popular items just show editors picks and as we know customers do not tend to go beyond the first 5 pages of products. So how do we get seen? Covers and Collections won't bump us above editors picks. Self-marketing has to be a priority and these cover and collection options really help with that and so I want to do my best to make the most of these snazzy new features! Please help me and other creators eager to jump on board with the changes to do so. If you could though help us out on the workload that would be a game changer for all of us and I have a few suggestions I hope you can consider  🙏   Re email to customers: Can we set a generic email that is by default added to ALL our collections and we can 'edit' it if we need to for individual collections rather than having to edit for every single collection. Re collection banners: Can we set a generic 'profile style banner' that is by default added to ALL our collections and we can 'edit' it if we need to for individual collections rather than having to 'create one' for every single collection. Please can you automate the media images so that by default it will add the first 10 product (creator-made) cover images it encounters inside a collection to the media selection (again we can edit if we choose to). Allow us to add products or change default store set by Zazzle for collections: Not being able to do so results in us having to start over creating a new collection and even then we can't add the products we want to add? Please can you remove the thing that stops us from doing so. Please provide us with a mockup generator Please allow transparent backgrounds on our media downloads Please create a database of stock images we can use for covers. Please create a datebase of photos of people we can use for placeholders. Zazzle ... we creators eat, sleep, wash repeat Zazzle. We really do. Your changes are wonderful but they do set off a chain reaction, in that we have a lot of work to accommodate them. I know you're probably already working on some new features because your team is forever creating and innovating, which we value. Please though, consider these suggestions as anything that can reduce our workload means a better experience for creators and as such customers and as such Zazzle. With regards to the databases for images, I am sure if you reach out to the community, WE ourselves could provide you with a range of stock images that could work as per the VIP thing that was in place years ago BUT with images available to download by creators, not customers. Just thinking as I type .... Any more suggestions are greatly welcomed! ... View more

Hi! I don't know if anyone has made this observation before since I didn't know how to search for it… Why, after working on our collections—covers, videos, descriptions—do we end up with this unattractive way of viewing the description that doesn’t invite reading at all? I would love for it to be seen with separated paragraphs, bold, italics… everything more aesthetic and pleasing.     ... View more

Just downloaded the Zazzle app and found the way collections are presented quite surprising. While I appreciate the creative effort, personalizing each collection page with a background color sampled from the banner or design results in a less than desirable overall look, in my opinion. The eye-catching products are overshadowed by the background, and scrolling through collections becomes distracting. The attention often shifts to the background, diverting the eyes away from the intended focus on the products. I know some people like the look and it’s impossible to please everyone, but there’s a reason why products are typically presented on a white background – it allows the focus to remain on the product itself. Isn’t that what we want? This issue extends to collection thumbnails, where individual colors, often vibrant and sometimes unrelated to the collection, create a chaotic visual experience. Given the recent emphasis on collections to drive more sales, it's unclear how these visual elements contribute to the desired focus and customer engagement. In the quest for a better user experience and increased sales, I propose a shift to a uniform white background for collection thumbnails and pages. Additionally, please reconsider the necessity of collection banners on the app, especially with the current fading effect. It could lead to a more appealing and efficient use of space. Rather than focusing on banners, prioritizing collection descriptions might be a better option. ... View more

We desperately need more gardening options on zazzle!  Plant tags for one thing, from the tiny white plastic ones to larger more fancy ones, please!!  We also need seed envelopes.  The envelopes meant for stationary here are just too big and not quite the right size.  Something smaller than 4x6 and preferably vertical orientation instead of the more popular horizontal used for stationary.  (Every serious heirloom gardener saves our own seeds!)  Some extra ideas: kneeling pads, egg cartons, and small pots and trays for the greenhouse.  Also plant tools would be so amazing if possible, the small hand shovel, rake, and snips, and dabber.  Harvest baskets/crates/bowls would also be a super hot seller! ...

Any chance fabrics could receive the same level of support as all of Zazzle's other offerings? While not technically discontinued, the product line seems to have been all but abandoned. For some reason, the design tool has never been upgraded to the new version, and the "old" design tool is incredibly laggy (so you can't even see what you're doing or how it will look, you just have to...guess?) and locks up frequently. It also lacks the features of the modern design tool, many of which would be incredibly useful for fabric designs, like removing white from the background of an image. Beyond this, the only in situ for fabrics is quite poor -- it's just a piece of fabric hanging on a wall, which does not present the product in a good light. Most customers would likely purchase fabric to make pillows, curtains, items of clothing, etc. Why not add in situ images on these types of products? Or at the very least, a shot of the fabric on a sewing table, perhaps with a sewing machine, scissors, and spools of thread nearby? Fabric used to be one of my top sellers. These days, I rarely design new fabrics because the technical issues and lack of features associated with the old design tool make things incredibly tedious, with no way to really design or showcase a great product. Is there a reason fabrics can't have the same design options as a similarly tiled product, like wrapping paper? An upgrade to the new design tool, better in situ images, and more promotion on Zazzle's main pages would make a world of difference! ... View more

The default sticker sheet for the yearly planner needs to be customizable. For example, I design for the professional construction market. The current stickers just don’t work. It would be nice to be able to add my own designs tailored for my niche. ... View more

Another neat idea that would be very useful is to create a way to allow us to download multiple products from inside a collection---all at one time—to use for media and headers instead of doing them all one by one. This would make everything so much easier and save so much time. ... View more

With Mother's Day coming soon I want to bring up this discussion again. The minimum order quantity for foil greeting and holiday cards is 5. This is ok for invitations and such but not when the occasion requires usually just 1 card.  For example a single Mother's Day card  (or maybe she would like 5 of the same ones?), birthday greeting, father's day cards, etc. My suggestion is to please set the minimum to 1 if possible. I'm afraid that a lot of customers who first click on a cool gold foil card decide to not buy it because of the min. 5 cards option. ... View more

Custom Card Deck Features: - Custom design/printing on both sides - creator can choose how many cards in a new deck template (allow custom number entry) - 'deck' template will have a feature that allows creator to group all the cards of the same deck (basically it should be clear to customer that this is one deck) with competitive pricing of deck - square or rounded corners options (have to have a rounded corner option as cards need to be safe for hands while shuffling) - options from standard deck-card sizes: thin, rectangular, round - perfect for creators who want to design their own Tarot Deck, Oracle Deck, Flash Cards, Custom Playing Cards, Game Cards, etc. This is a very in-demand category right now...... Zazzle please give this to us? Pleaseeee ❤️ ... View more

The influx of scammers trying (and succeeding in cases) to trick users into giving out secure information is really out of control.  I think at minimum blocking outside links in chats will help lessen some of the problem of someone clicking before they realize what is going on.  ... View more

I’d love to be able to add products to collections directly from the “Post Product for Sale” page.  Maybe right under the area where we choose the store and category.  And as I think about it, submitting Cover photos is something else that might be included at that step, similar to adding category images if you create a “New” category. Maybe it’s time for a “Post Product for Sale” page revamp.  I think it would be a time saver and be way more efficient to do as much as possible up front for each listing.  Others may have additional ideas for efficiency tweaks. I’d love to see them.   ... View more

I remember visiting a branch of a chain restaurant near my home. On the walls of this particular location, they had wooden breadboards painted in a style reminiscent of Rothko’s artwork. I think customizable wooden breadboards or pizza peels could serve as both functional keepsakes for the kitchen and unique decorative pieces for the home—great for sparking conversation. ...

I am using the new social media app BlueSky and up until now, I have been able to promote my products by copy/pasting the product URL into a new post, as the "copy link" option does not allow my product photo to post along with the url.   So my question is: has there been any thought on Zazzle's part about adding BlueSky to the automatic sharing options like Facebook and Twitter (X)?   There are many other Zazzle people on there, also promoting their products.  ...

I think designers would be more motivated to make videos if they were seen while scrolling through the marketplace. So when looking through the pages of products in the marketplace (products that have videos as the first item) will have a moving video to attract the eye.  Unless I am missing something, the only way the customer sees the videos here on Zazzle is if they are on the product page.  But if the videos are visible from the marketplace pages then that could really work for us designers to get noticed and would be a real motivation to create more videos.  What does everyone think?  I can't understand why this isn't the way it is set up right now.  On social media as I am scrolling I see videos and they do make me stop and watch quite frequently, so why not reward those who put the time in to create them by putting them in the marketplace where they will be seen?  Just thinking it might make it more worth the designer's time to have the videos shown out there in the marketplace. ...
