Please allow us to move our products between stores without the need to repost them. Especially considering all these recent changes, such as cover photos and collections (no complaints, I hope you know what you're doing), it has become literally impossible to keep up with the mess my account has turned into. I am aware that we can repost the items in a new store and delete the old ones, but that's not a solution, as it would mean losing statistics, marketplace rankings, and all the effort that has been invested in marketing.
I must admit, I made numerous mistakes when I started 10 years ago, but creating all those stores seems like an issue that can't be fixed and continues to pose difficulties time and time again.
I agree completely. I had NO idea what I was doing when I started on Zazzle. During my time, I've had to learn marketing, and when I learned that, I discovered all sorts of things that organized my head, which meant stores became better organized, and targeted to a particular buyer.
I understand that when a product is created, it creates a store URL, but with the changes to the collections, it would seem that it could be possible, somehow, to make a url that is independent of the store, and can be changed to another store. This would make my stores so much more cohesive, customer-focused, would gain more followers, would retain more repeat customers, and should make customers far happier, and myself as well, with the presentations I have on offer. There are stores I have visited on Zazzle that are SO customer-defined, and SO organized and beautiful, and they're doing really, really, really well, and the designers have risen in the ranks so much faster as a result. Customers can follow the store knowing that whenever the store puts out something new, it will be JUST what they would like, rather than being a questionable prospect for them.
And because we do not have access to customer emails, we cannot grow a list of customers to email to, so it's really important that we have cohesive stores so customers can follow them.
Yes, I'm one of the ones for years have asked about direct deposit because Paypal is so fickle. A check in mail simply are not safe in all areas... and when things your neighbor constantly backs over your mail box .....
Re OP topic: for years, I have seen posted as well and also posted that I would like the move product to another shop feature.
This conversation has been going on for a couple of months. I have around 1,000 wedding items that I would like to move to my wedding store from my other store. My my case, items like this get overlooked, while a niche store may get those missing buyers to wonderful designs. I would gladly sign a petition for Zazzle to allow us to move products from one store to another.
Rank was one thing that someone mentioned here. In most cases, it should improve our store rank. At least over time.
Not part of the original conversation, but it was mentioned here. Yes, to direct deposit. Redbubble does it with no problems.
If you are new to selling on Zazzle, it might not seem like a big deal. However, after selling on Zazzle for awhile, the benefits of this functionality becomes clear.
Being able to move products between stores means we won't need to delete products, recreate them and have ranking start from zero. Stores will be more streamlined with a market focus.
I have deleted products even if they were selling because they didn't fit into the store theme. I don't know if I want to recreate them due to lack of time. I found this post because I'm hoping to "move" products rather than delete more products.
I have already left a comment regarding this matter. However, I believe that if we can transfer products between stores while keeping the URLs and statistics intact, it would greatly benefit us in terms of cleaning up the stores and making them more functional. Years ago, I allowed myself to be influenced by others to have one big messy store that it is now. Transferring the products to my niche stores without the need to recreate and delete them would be beneficial for all of us, including Zazzle.
Revisiting this thread. Can someone like @Scott pass this along? I would love to be able to transfer products, keeping the URLs between my stores. Thus having clean-looking niche stores, instead of one big messy store. For example, I would love to transfer all my wedding products from my big store to my wedding store. Keeping the old URLs. Real transfers.
This would be handy, but just as handy as being able to update published products anywhere in store (like changing script or sample placeholder photos), without HAVING to post them "new" to the market place all over again & loosing all previous statistics. This is something Zazzle has not figured out how to over come.
I used to have a Redbubble store and THEY knew how to do this: I could make any adjustment or change on an already published product, hit save and it would simply update. Done. Really, the knowledge is out there already.
