Experiment. Put your images on products and see how it looks. You might want to add a text template for the customer to add their name or a slogan,etc. to them.

You can't edit already created products. What you can do is go to the product page and click on the customize it button and add it that way. Post the new version for sale.

I don't know what to do about it I am just trying to fix my store and didn't know my prices so much Here are some of my production. Great art. Congratulations on your work being featured at Barnes & Noble. As for no earlier replies, I saw your post last night, but I didn't have time to add anything. I'm sure others may have done the same. Looks like you're getting some good advice, now. I read the note from someone who suggested you add posters, and I agree. You have much of the artwork on canvas, not on posters. You should put them on posters as well. Some people do not want to buy the art on canvas as the prices are too high. It's not just your prices, but the prices of canvas in general. A person can buy a poster for maybe ten times less. Maybe even less than that, especially when you have canvas priced at over $400.00. People like college students would be more likely to buy a poster for their dorm room, rather than a canvas piece. I suggest you try t-shirts, but with a smooth/soft edge for the border of the image. Lots of people love wearing art. Put some greetings inside of your greeting cards. Make some to wish someone well, happy birthday, to say they're being missed or thought of, or wish them a great day. I also suggest that you check on your tags. You have several that do not apply to your designs. For example, this design with the red flowers - http://www.zazzle.com/simple_flower_shapes_stretched_canvas_print-192547397236971471Your tags are - simple, flower, shapes, stretched, imaginary, tote, flowers, illustration, illustrative, digital, painting, color, trees, green, blue, sky, story, red, background, wallpaper, autumn, backgrounds, beach, beauty, cloud, colored, field, foliage, forest, fresh, frozen, fun, grass. The item is not a tote, if there are clouds, I don't see any (I see white in the background, but not exactly a cloud), there is no beach, or trees, or forest, nothing frozen, etc. You have to be careful about adding tags that do not belong as they can cause you to be a "tag spammer"...one who gets people to their products by false advertisement. Here's some information about that - http://forum.zazzle.com/create/why_tag_spam_hurts

I am glad you like my illustrations Such a nice thing to say, and I'm happy to hear it. Your comment really is very informative and it will help me a lot surely. I have learned a lot. thanks again. Ok yes I can see now I write wrong tags. I didn't know tags are very important for a store. Now I learned it. I'll change them just now. Yes about posters you are right. I'll add some posters and change the higher prices to lower prices. Yes I wrote last night and in the morning I haven't see any comment so I was sorry. I am a new member and trying to learn and trying to find experienced member to take advices and understand how this website business is going so I can maybe open more stores and put more production. I think now I need to check my all works on my store I think to fix the wrong tags.

Yes, the correct/proper tags are used to help people find your items when they search the internet. They are very important. If you were to have a piece of art titled "Simple Flowers", many people who want artwork of a bouquet of red roses will not search the interenet for "Simple Flowers". They will search for "rose bouquet", "red roses" or "red rose bouquet", so when you have those tags, your work will be found, even if your title doesn't have the word "roses" in it. It would help to have it there, though. I have searched for my items by only the title and have found them through google quite easily. Sometimes on Yahoo, too. Good luck!

Hi. I don't want to try and give you an exact price idea, but I think you should look at your prices with a set royalty between 15% and 20%. I don't have anything as nice as your work, but I think my most expensive canvas, featuring fractal art, is around $110.00. I don't know about where you live, but I'm in the US and I think a standard poster price is about $12.00, depending on the subject. This is a simple poster...something that may be purchased in most any shopping mall. I'm not saying that you should charge so little, but I'm trying to make a point about how inexpensive paper posters, not canvas can be. You can look at the various posters on Zazzle to get a general idea of what others in your line of work may be charging. http://www.zazzle.com/postersArtsprojekt on Zazzle http://www.zazzle.com/artsprojekt+postersI suggest that you look at websites that sell quality art on posters and canvas. You can get ideas for prices there, but also consider that some may be photography and others actually drawn, so it can make a difference. I also suggest that you post a new topic and specifically ask advice on prices for such artwork. There are many professionals that may offer better advice than I can.

Hey thanks so much Really I don't know my prices lower or higher. Ok I'll open a new topic about prices. Or maybe I'll look around sample stores. Here I am thinking this is the best person store for me to look What do you think about her work? I am thinking she has such nice work and her store would be very good prices samples. http://www.zazzle.com/strangeling/artAlso prices don't change. Here it says: Changes to your royalty percentage go into effect on the 20th of every month. So I think it means only I can change any price on the 20th of a month

You're welcome.
Personally, I do think that you should lower your prices. If you don't mind answering, what is your basic royalty set for your posters? As I mentioned before, somewhere around 15% or 20% may be good, but I'm not an expert in such art design. Thirty percent may be suggested by some people.
I looked at some of the designs in the other person's store. Nice work, indeed. I think her prices are good, too.

I have looked this person gallery. And her high price is I think 69 or something like this uhhhh...I don't have a basic royalty for my posters I wrote different royalty for ever of them I think. I don't want a basic price for all of them. I want some of them higher prices and some of them lower prices so I wrote different numbers. Here for this one I just changed royalty percentage to %65.0. and the price looks now Price for this product: $29.15 Royalty you will make: $18.00 http://www.zazzle.com/just_a_daydream_poster-228681005668310360

I don't use the same royalty for all of my work, either, but I have a general range. I try not to go any higher than 25%. Yes, the new price for your poster is much better, in my opinion. I think more people are willing to spend that amount. You can really never tell what price a person will pay for an item, but I think the average person may not want to spend too much if they can avoid it. Of course, "too much" varies from person to person. One of my friends is very wealthy and many would think she only buys her artwork, clothing and other items from the finest shops in Beverly Hills, but she shops in some of the stores that I shop in as she likes a good bargain and doesn't pay a lot if she doesn't have to. I guess that's how she stays wealthy.

Yes, she has some very nice and expensive items, jewelry, clothing, cars, a huge home, and more, plus she travels around the world, but she does shop for some items in stores that are not considered "high-end". Not to say that Zazzle isn't "high-end" and of quality, but she owns items from one of my Zazzle stores and my store at Redbubble. I started off with giving her one of my photo prints as a gift, and she loved it. Since then, she's gotten other items and has told her family and friends about my work and stores. If she keeps shopping at less expensive stores, she'll have more money to travel around the world.

@eydiHB, if you want to set all of your products to the same royalty (say 15%), then go here; http://www.zazzle.com/my/account/defaultroyaltyYou could try that initially to see how things go before setting different royalties for different products. Notice the tick-box 'Also set all your existing products to this Royalty Percentage?' I've seen reports in the forums that for some people it isn't actually working at the moment, so have a look and try it out if you like. Steve.
