make art first choice in a mechatronic process.

I think that it is great that one can upload ones art and make products available to put in our stores.

I rekon that chances could improve the likelyhood of a sale if my art was the first option for customers, instead of making products myself the customer chooses what art and then what product to make.

I do not know what people are wanting from the marketplace you see?

for example; customer searches through database of artwork on zazzle, sees something he/she likes and then proceeds to choose what product to be made, all the way to purchase and delivery? would enableing this lead to more sales?

best,

No. The matching of aspect ratio of art to aspect ratio of product is critical. Trying to guess at it haphazardly would be frustrating for the customer.

Hi @mxzta. I used to think the same when I first started on Zazzle, but after being here a while I realized that customers don't all think the same way. Most people want to see the design on a product because they can't imagine what your artwork would look like on a pillow or an iphone. Some people are able to envision the end results but most aren't, unless they are a creative type themselves.

This might be a good option for people who are basically selling their art and want it available on various products. But for a good chunk of designers here, the art is only part of the design - it's used to decorate invitations etc, where the text fields and their layout etc are the meat of the design - of at least a very big part of it. Even for designs that are primarily decorative, many designers still add some customizable text fields, and as Keegan mentioned above, you really need to place those by hand on the different products in order for them to look good.

If they ever bring back the quick create feature, it might be a good option for you because it would allow you to put your art on a variety of products all at once.
