Zazzle-ing is Perking Along

Remember the old percolator way of making coffee? Not that old? Well the water from the pot moved up a stem into a small cap on the lid of the coffee pot. When just at a simmering brew, it would be a regular but not hurried flick of water that then dripped down through the coffee grounds, back into the pot.
That describes my present Zazzle account. My stores make some sales and I have been getting a fairly regular payout. I had much better activity earlier in the year when I worked regularly in producing new designs for products.

I took a long break because my husband and I are trying to relocate to another state. That created a slowdown in my blogging and Zazzle endeavors.

The site itself does not have as many new changes, that I know of, which means that more efforts can be put into producing products and designs for sale in the stores.

Social Media

I have noticed that posting on social media makes something of a difference in sales. I don't believe my small following makes the difference, it seems to awaken Google to the products if they are posted. That is how it appears to my observation.

Here is something from my vintage line of post cards:

As an example of something that you shouldn't give up on. I had old designs of simple hearts that I particularly like. They had a pleasing shape and color and I felt they could be easily personalized. Well, no one seemed to notice them... and I deleted most of the line, but recently I had an order for aprons with this large, simple, but beautiful pink heart:

It just shows that we should believe in our designs and try to be patient, while trying to showcase as much as possible along the way. I will try to post again soon, to share some of the newer designs and techniques I'm using now. Until then- Szia!
