Are you addicted to zazzle
No, I can stop at any time, really I can...wait there is maintenance and zazzle will be down HOW LONG?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO come back to me zazzle!!!
Which format works best for you when organizing your store(s)
A little of both - multiple stores, one/some for catch all - and others for singular themes
Which is the best definition of your style
A little of both - some stores are high quality, others are high quantity
What advice would you give a new shopkeeper? (write as much or as little as you would like) *
Just keep working at it. Learn from your mistakes. Follow the forums, there is a lot of good advise there.
What product in your store best matches your current mood? (link to product page please) *
Is zazzle a hobby or a job?
Hobby only - it is great that it makes money, but I would likely keep doing it even if it didn't.

Audrey Jeanne's Expressions


 
How did you pick your store(s) name(s)?
(feel free to write up each shop name if they each have a story) *
Actually, I started using the name when I began in manufacturing gift ware years ago. Everything I did was text-related hence the "Expressions" part. As I shifted more into the internet marketing it came with me.

  • Wordpress
  • Facebook
  • Twitter

  • Forums/message boards (non zazzle)
  • Post in zazzles "ideas" forum

How much do you spend monthly on advertising? (include hosting fees domain fees) *

My newest design is always my current favorite!

http://www.zazzle.com/paisley_flourish_square_photo_wedding_invitation-161876916772838832
This is my daughter and son-in-law's picture and the designs I created for their wedding scrapbook. I wish we would have known about Zazzle for their wedding invitations, if so, this would have been what I'd have created for them.

http://www.zazzle.com/elegant_poinsettia_photo_christmas_card_invitation-161687773360524906
These are the Christmas Cards I'm going to order this year for our family, now all I have to do is get a family photo taken between now and then. This poinsettia was painted from life from a plant I found that had wonderful gently curling flowers. I managed to kill it eventually (as always) but have this flower to remember it by.

This is a saying I wrote because I am so NOT A MORNING PERSON! No one in our household is, it's dangerous around here pre-coffee.

Sock Monkeys are a personal favorite hearkening back to my own sock monkey that went with me absolutely everywhere!




Do you have shops on other PODs?
No - Zazzle is my 1st & only POD
What are your feelings on...Clipart, Stock-photos, Public domain images, or other LEGAL to use free or paid images/photos...being used in zazzle shops?
I do not use it but if it helps other people they should use it - not everyone is an artist
List your shops using the following format:
http://www.zazzle.com/shopid - Shop Name - short description of shop *

http://www.zazzle.com/audreyjeanne - Audrey Jeanne's Expressions - Our main store featuring clothing, wedding invitations, baby gifts and other strongly feminine designs created from Audrey Jeanne Roberts' hand water colored art work.
