You Suck At Zazzle No.7.

Well, the hate-mail has begun to arrive. I decided to switch gears a bit and try to look at things from a new perspective.

This is actually a pretty good design. If you are interested in checking it out, just go to the Zazzle T-shirt Marketplace and check out page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, or 23.

The One Thousand Dollar Button.

2009-08-04T20:15:00.001-07:00

Apparently, there are still some Zazzle shopkeepers that do not understand the furor over what has come to be referred to as "Spazzle". For the uninitiated, Spazzle is any form of spamming the marketplace with products that are for one reason or another completely unsellable. This button is a good example.

My Cat Saved My Life by Supernova23
Make pinback buttons at zazzle

This shop has over 30,000 items in it. Ten times the amount of products I have available across all of my shops. He is selling this button at $4.40 USD, not that anyone would ever buy it. Think of the server space that is being chewed up by shops like this all across Zazzle.
Let's crunch some numbers:
1,596,270,108 people, approximately 23% of the world population have Internet access.
Eighty-Five percent of these people also shop online. That's 1,356,829,591 people.
In May there were over 2,500,000 visitors to Zazzle.
Let's say only One percent of those people have similar surfing habits as I do and will leave the site immediately if they see something offensive, or of questionable quality. Keep in mind that most shoppers have no idea how these products are created and must be put-off when they see products like this. Is it a computer glitch? Is it a complete lack of quality control? Is it worth taking a chance that the product I wanted to order may end-up looking like that? That's 25,0000 people per month (300,000 per year, 822 per day) , that will go away and stay away from Zazzle forever. (Again, only if they shop like I do.)
Let's put that in dollar terms. If only half of those people would have bought just a single button at $2.80 USD That is $420,000.00 USD per year that no shop keeper on Zazzle will get a shot at.
So how much does a button like this really cost?
It costs you and I $1,150.68 daily.
That is one expensive button!

The description says, "this hat keeps you crispy and tells it like it is"

Really, what the hell does that mean? Crispy? Isn't that what happens when you BURN something? But you have icicles on your lettering. And what the fuck does the phrase "tells it like it is" mean? Are you implying that some hats lie? But this one doesn't?

And you spelled "icy" wrong you dumb dipshit.

I Don't Think You're a Bitch, I Think Your an Idiot

2009-08-02T11:32:00.000-07:00

The description says, "joke". I'm not sure what the joke is. OK, let's get out the red pen and make some corrections...

You spelled "your" wrong. In this usage, it's a contraction of the words "you" and "are", giving you "you're". Honestly, it that really hard to remember? Really?

And for fucks sake, you freakin' spelled "born" wrong! It's got four freakin' letters in it, and you managed to screw it up. It's B O R N.

I'm not even going to TRY to examine the grammar... that's just a hot mess. What the hell does the phrase actually MEAN? Read the sentence out loud and tell me it makes any sense at all...

"I don't think your a bitch I think you were bron that way."

Take a Nap... Please

2009-07-20T08:08:00.000-07:00

This next design is a great example of Zazzle Spam and a really bad idea - all rolled in to one. Many store owners take a phrase or saying and change only one word. For example "World's Best: Insert Job Title" Sometimes it works fine... other times it comes across really lame. This is one of those lame times.

Global Warming and Donkeys

2009-07-18T08:00:00.000-07:00

It seems that this guy thinks his Donkey is warming globally. I know what it's supposed to say (Global Warming my Ass), but this idea just doesn't work. It makes the person who wears it look like a, well, Donkey.

And to make it worse, the "designer" is the worst form of Zazzle Spammer. They have placed the shirt on ever size, color and style, in a variety of font colors. On Zazzle you don't have to do that as the customer can pick the shirt style and color when the are buying. All that does is flood the Marketplace with literally dozens of pages of the same design.

Congrats Mr. Donkey, you've just won yourself a YSAZ Award - also known as a Spazzle.

When you post a new product to Zazzle, they give you a range of different models to choose from. The models all have a different look, and are standing in a variety of poses. There are, of course, both men and women.

As a general rule, it's a good idea to make sure that gender specific designs have the right gender of model.

Unless it's a pro gay marriage design... in which case, there's nothing wrong with this that I can see. heh.

Hello and Welcome!

2009-07-16T09:10:00.000-07:00

Hello and Welcome to "You Suck at Zazzle". This blog will highlight some of the worst of the worst products that are made at the Print On Demand Site, Zazzle.com

We will relish in the crap, junk, poor designs and crappy crappiness that abounds around there. Now, make no mistake, there are some really, really good artists on that site. But for each good designer, there are several who should be kicked off the interwebs. It's Schadenfreude at it's very best. If you find anything that you think may qualify, let me know and I'll take a look. If one of your designs gets posted here and panned as crap - well, maybe you should rethink your design.
