Sometimes, while working on where to source the products for a promotion session, it can be helpful to look at official store or collection pages.
This tweak gives you a button to do just that.
If you’re using a collection as a source, the button opens the official collection page. From there you can get to the artist’s store(s).
If you’re using a store as the source, the button changes to let you open that store’s official collections page:
Enjoy! 😎
Hot on the heels of doing this for the Society6 equivalent, we’ve now done this for the Nifty Zazzle Product Grid Sharer page.
We’ve added a forward and back button to allow your visitors to move through the pages of results returned by Zazzle.
With this simple addition, you get even more engagement from the people you share your product grids with. Keeping them looking at your designs for longer is a good thing.
Why? It’s because the longer they look, the more their engagement and trust builds up. And that leads to more sales in the long run, no bad thing!
Here’s what the new page nav buttons look like:
Zazzle uses its own internal link shortener when you share from product pages. It includes your referral id (as long as you were logged in at the time) BUT no tracking code.
Now that Pinterest doesn’t let you edit links, you can’t add a tracking code after pinning. How do you get round that?
Seriously, the best thing you can do if you want to do it manually, is to use Nifty’s individual product sharer to pin once or twice a week from your new products.
Your referral id and the tracking code you give will be used on the links. Easy peasy.
Of course, without a subscription, our referral id will be used half the time. This is the 50/50 referral sharing you might have heard about. It’s a very common way to let people try tools without any outlay, making it risk free while still letting people get rewarded for their effort.
The simple solution so you don’t lose out is to Pin twice as many or even more, including pinning the work of other artists you like. It’s extremely fast and easy, so pinning twice as many takes much, much less than half the time.
And that frees you up to get back to creating new designs in a flash 😎
Following this approach will also give your Pinterest a boost. Why? Because Pinterest loves you to pin lots and your followers, clicks and saves/repins will grow even faster as a result.
Of course, you have to interact with Pinterest in other ways to keep your account in their good books. Do this by following others and repin things you like. Crafts and how-to’s are good for this.

We’re really excited about the new featured collections pane we’re working on. It serves two purposes:
In the image above you can see an entry in the pane. It’s made up of a 240 character (or shorter) description and has a collection image on the right. The image used is one of the landscape ones available via the collection page sharer button.
ℹ️ Here’s a good point to note about the descriptions – they’re targeted at the affiliate and not the end buyer. This means that using the description as-is from the collection is no good, not without modifying the language to aim it at the affiliate first.
To drum up awareness and to get some initial collections to use, we’ve dropped off a race-style competition on the Zazzle forum (Basic ProDesigners and above ony). The first nine to finish will each get one of their collections featured.
