Put Some PEE-Zazzle Into Your Marketing

Over the weekend I created a gallery on Zazzle.com. Zazzle lets you create T-shirts, Mugs, postcards and hundreds of other items, using your own logo and text and allows you sell them directly from your website, blog, Myspace page or Facebook app. All items are shipped within 24 hours and there are no minimum order quantities. This means you can create one custom Tshirt for yourself, or have it shipped directly to a contest-winner for example, with zero investment (other than the cost of the item).

Zazzle has a nifty (yet limited) gallery builder that allows you to create your own online store of the products you create. You can see mine HERE. So you can promote your gallery and make a commission for every sale - a commission rate that YOU set. Even more cool is that if you create something really cool, other people can sell the items for you, generating even more royalties. Zazzle also has a cool-looking flash-gallery to show off the stuff you create:








So far we’ve sold about 15 of our custom items and have generated almost $20 in commissions. Not that much, but these are customized GrownUpGeek.com items, so now we get paid for someone to walk around with our billboard on their back - not a bad deal.

And finally, they have an associates program that allows you to sell other people’s products and earn an additional commission.

If you’re looking to have hundreds of custom T shirts or other items made to give away as part of your marketing campaign then you’re better off going to a custom printer and having them made in bulk because you’ll end up paying about 1/3 the price. But if you want to quickly and easily make some custom items for your website visitors to purchase, give Zazzle.com a try.. Oh yeah - it’s FREE ..

The only affiliate link in this post is the one that goes directly to my store/gallery
