TEMPORARY Royalty Setting

[Swisstoons]

SUGGESTION: I think more Zazzle creators would be encouraged to lower their royalty settings for the holidays if Zazzle were to offer a special TEMPORARY royalty setting.

The "TEMPORARY ROYALTY SETTING" for each product would have a START DATE and an END DATE...after which period, the setting would revert to each product's usual royalty setting.

Whaddya think, Zazzle?

The way I envision it, a creator could easily set every product...or specific product types...or individual products to 5% (or whatever) til the end of the holiday period, and not have to worry about going back in an changing everything back.  Anything that makes a seller's task (whether creating or selling) is more likely to happen.

Hi @Swisstoons,

Thank you for your sharing this idea with us. I'll pass it along to the team for you so it can be reviewed further.

All the best 🙂

Padraig, I still think it's a worthwhile suggestion.  It would be especially useful and helpful at this time...as Summer approaches and the economy crashes and burns.  Another user wondered why anyone would want to lower rates at all.  Well, I'd say those are two good reasons.   Experimenting with lower prices just might result in sales returning.  So it seems to me that Zazzle might just want to make such experimenting as easy as possible.  And being able to return to original royalty settings with the flick of one switch if the experiment doesn't show desired results (instead of having to remember original royalties settings and wade back through each product to reset them) would make the idea of lowering prices more appealing.

Hey @Swisstoons,

Thanks for your reply here. I will suggest this to the team again.

Why would I want to lower my royalty, with the big 50 percent off sales that always hit at this time of year. Sometimes even 60 percent. If it's a 3rd party sale with some secondary content, I could end up with a tiny commission.
But if you want to, I guess it is better that it be convenient.
