Zazzle gets much more attractive with a new volume bonus system. It’s almost hard to believe that just a short while after Cafepress screws their shopkeepers out of chunks of their VB that Zazzle is providing what seems to be a much better one. I never believed that Cafepress’ story about not making money from the marketplace and I this… Read more →

There seems to be eight types of boards to choose from in three categories. They sell for around $60.

I got a bit of a surprise when I was checking out my stores a few minutes ago. One second I was looking at the familiar sight of the what has just become old Zazzle branded page and the next I am looking at a darker vision. Do I like the new look? Yes, I think so. Am I happy… Read more →
I received three tees from Zazzle yesterday and I am pretty impressed with the quality. After constantly hearing about the poor quality of POD t-shirts I guess my expectations weren’t all that high. Even if they were high though I wouldn’t have been disappointed. That said I was always pretty impressed with the shirts from Cafepress too. Anyway back to… Read more →

To be honest I was never a big Star Wars fan, probably one of the few… Read more →
I should probably say that Cafepress gets greedier because they already make a ton of money per item they sell. Cafepress is a POD service that allow users to create and upload designs and sell them online as t-shirts, caps, mugs etc. The designers then fix the commission they wish to receive from the sale of each item and Cafepress… Read more →
This is another good day for POD shopkeepers. Cafepress have launched a few upgrades, one of which I mentioned before but quickly disappeared. That was the design tab of the sale report. It is even better than I had first thought. Not only does it tell you which designs are selling well, it shows their tags. You can see an… Read more →
Cafepress is probably the biggest POD in existence and now they are even bigger. With the purchase of Imagekind they can expand into a higher class market. Cafepress mostly sell t-shirts and cheap goods like mousepads, mugs and the like whereas Imagekind focuses on art and photography which are sold on high quality paper and with expensive frames. It is… Read more →
I feel I don’t usually have good news regarding Cafepress but today I do. Cafepress has made an improvement in an area where Zazzle is already far behind: sales reports. The availability and accessibility of this kind of data should not be underestimated. Sure, if your store is new and are only getting a few sales a week you can… Read more →
