How to promote your store?

[Vladyslava]

Hello everyone, my name is Vlada, I'm from Ukraine. Half a year ago, I decided to open a store on Zazzle, but due to the difficult situation and numerous moves, I could not devote much time to my store. During these half a year I have created not so many products. Now I'm looking at my fast goods and I understand that I don't like them. But my last works make me happy, because it seems to me that I have upgraded my style a little. I've had quite a few sales in those floors, and I'm not happy about that. I am currently looking for information on how I can promote my store, and I ask you to tell me what methods and programs exist, and also I ask you to rate my store. Maybe he's not so good and I'm tedious to work in a different direction. Thanks

@Vladyslava  First off, my heart goes out to you and your fellow citizens.

Congrats on sales, whether you like the product/design or not.  I have learned to post designs that I don't love, as not everyone has the same taste as I.  If it is selling, keep it!  Don't delete it... and maybe even force yourself to develop more, because they are selling.  I assume your goal is to earn money from your efforts.

A quick look at your store shows good designs, proper use of text templates, etc.  You are using good words to describe your works as well.  Hence why you are selling.  So keep at it.

As for promoting your products...  One of the easiest places to start promoting your own products is Pinterest.  It is free and a widely used social worldwide.  Be sure to set up a business account as opposed to a personal account.  Once it is set up, pin 5 - 15 pins a day.  Everyday, if possible.  Consistency is important, but that might be a challenge considering the state of things...  If you can pull that off, in 3 months or less, you should start earning referral income from your pins.  Creating your own unique pin images is best practice.  Vary the types of pins you create as well.  Pinterest offers a few different types you can create.

Outside of Pinterest, any other social media should work as well.  I might be wary of Twitter right now as it is going through interesting times. 

You could also create a free blog or website.  Both can be used effectively but are more challenging as you have to be the driver of traffic to them where as a social provides the platform that people are already using/visiting.  A social can be used to drive traffic to them though...  So if you enjoy blogging/writing, then a blog may be a good way to go and can be started for free as well.

Make sure that you are enrolled in the associate program so that you earn the 15% referral.  If, over time, you find that you are driving your own sales, then you may want to consider joining the Promoter Program where you earn 35% on "Self" referrals, but earn 0 if the customer buys someone elses product.

You do have some products that fit my own promotional efforts of other peoples products and I will promote them to try and help you out.  It is the least I can do.

Best wishes and be safe.  Keep up the good fight!

Hi,

How are you? 

I have created a zazzle store named "BestChoiceArt" about 3 months ago and have started getting a little sales.

I keep on uploading almost 20 designs per day. So far, I have 1200 products for sale. But the sale results are not satisfactory.

I have got only 1 sale of 2 items so far. I mainly deal in tshirts of males, females and kids. Secondly I transfer the same designs on mugs.

As you are senior member of zazzle, you are requested to go through my store and advise me about the designs and their promotion, so that, my sales could be increased. By the way, I use AI by 90% in creation of designs and related info.

Thanks in anticipation of that.

As was mentioned before do not delete your items especially if they are selling. I love your black and white animal prints. Is that a special upload for the images in the room setting? I wish I knew how to do that. I guess I have to spend some time figuring it out. They look awesome. I am a fan of black and white and animals both so they caught my eye. I love the big kitty cat eyes at the top of your collection. It makes me miss my cat who is out prowling right now.  Everything that I saw so far looks good it is just going to take time. I will be promoting your animal prints on my Pinterests boards and I have a section for animals on my blog so they will get listed there now and again. Right now my sales are not good so I might not be your best bet to get good input. Good luck and God Bless. 

Just a quick note. I was looking at your front page with the names of categories in the frames. You might want to make the print darker, It could be my eyes are not what they used to be but the color blends in with the brown background for me. The ones with bigger print are ok Baby & Kids is very good but when you have to put bigger words in the area they sort of blend in. I remember trying to angle the words to allow for bigger letters. Over the years I have tried all different approaches but the dark print seems to help most. If you must have that color perhaps you can shadow the print of add a thin dark line around each letter.

Thank you very much for your answer, I also consider the collection with black and white animals one of the best. This collection is designed for home or office decor. Thank you so much for your help, and thanks for the kind words, it motivates me to move on.
