I would love to be able to see where a referral comes from, for instance from Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, blog, etc., included on the referral reports. It would be very helpful to determine what promotional efforts we're doing are working best. Thank you!

Yes it would. For right now you can use Google Analytics to track your views and correspond them to your referrals.

Well, I don't remember very clearly; I think @ColsCreations once gave this tip about adding &tc=socialmedianame/page at the end of your referral link, like this: 

https://www.zazzle.com/flamingo_awake_stand_on_one_leg_poker_cards-256532506291705158?rf=238657603659529882&tc=ZazzleForum

Hope this helps

Google Analytic can't always be relied on when trying to figure out where your referrals come from.  Google listed one of my self referrals as coming, "direct." 
What Google Analytic does show me, however, is that ever since Zazzle changed their royalty payout system, I hardly get any visitors to my stores.  I guess Zazzle is not promoting our products as much as before, since it now offers more for self promotion.
Unfortunately, I'm not good at promoting.  The few referrals I get every once in a while,  definitely don't make up for the reduction in royalties due to the 45-50% marketing fees and the excessive royalty fees for royalties set above 10%.
