HERE'S WHAT I THINK
Zazzle is better then CafePress
I love Zazzle. The interface, products and customer service are awesome...and I make lots of money!
5 Reasons why I love Zazzle!

- I get a FREE Gallery.
- I sell a lots of stuff on Zazzle.
- You can set your own royalty AND you get a 7% referral commission for items bought off of Squdioo, your blog or any other site you're on.
- Zazzle has awesome contests.

I only have CF shops for the moment, but the more I read about it, the more I want to get a Zazzle account. More choice, and more images. It really irritates me that CF will not allow more than one product typer per store. More membership money off course...

Yes, and from what I've seen their prices are much more reasonable than cafepress.

Zazzle has some really neat features like a range of different model to show your T-Shirts on and the ability for your customer to edit product to suit them - with names or messages for instance. I Love Zazzle !

Zazzle is WAY better! I've sold 25 things on zazzle & not one on cafe press! Easier to use & more creative too. I LOVE it! I'm zazzle addicted.

Yeah, yeah, yeah - I've made lots on Zazzle, not much on CP and I agree with all your pro points PLUS I can customize my Z shop (Image Factory) for free. Still trying to make the CP thingie work for me financially, though.

Yes I think Zazzle has two very major advantages over Cafepress.
With Zazzle any one can customise a design or add some text to a product with no need for specialist art or graphic design skills, or professional graphics software. That means anyone can make professional looking custom products on Zazzle with minimal specialist abilities, talent or technical knowledge.
With Cafepress OTOH even if you want to put a simple name or web address on a T-shirt you are going to need fairly sophisticated graphics software and a fairly high degree of graphics experience and expertise
Secondly Zazzle offer artists/designers a totally free shop/gallery and don't restrict the numbers of designs per product you can have and treat you as a real asset when you do a good design and reward you by featuring your design. So you get the impression your creative endeavours are appreciated.
I've never really seen any logic in the approach Cafepress take. where they limit you to one deign per product per shop and try to get you to pay for a "premium" shop which doesn't have these imposed limits. Because it's the designs that sell the products. So why impose limits on creative input or charge people for marketing your products? This would seem unethical if it weren't for the fact that this approach probably does more harm to Cafepress than anyone else. Which I think is a shame.

ZAZZLE rocks! I've had a store on CP for over a year and never sold a thing! I've been on ZAZZLE less than a year and am getting a NICE check every month! I can set my profits and my customers can customize how they like! I do wish there was someone else that offered postage. But the ZAZZLE vs Cafepress arguement is a knockout! Zazzle wins hands down! zazzle.com/sweetrascal*

I like Zazzle much better. I never had any sales on CafePress, but I am starting to get a few on Zazzle. I like how every artist's gallery looks so professional and can be designed to represent their style.

I like the look of my free shop on Zazzle much better than my free shops on Cafepress. Cafepress may be a bit easier to manage. The only thing I really wonder about is the pull Cafepress may have over Zazzle when it comes to the amount of viewers and traffic.

Zazzle is ABSOLUTELY 100% better than CafePress! Although I am new to Zazzle and thus far have no earnings, I love it merely because it is completely free, the designs are customizable, they have loads of text fonts, the member features such as voting and comment walls... shall I go on?!? I ran a premium shop on CafePress for nearly 2 years and earned ONE royalties check for $45. Do the math :(

I had started out on Cafe Press and then I found Zazzle. I found Zazzle so much easier to navigate. When I switched to Zazzle, I started making profits. Yes!

I like both, but I think Zazzle is a little edgier, I look forward to seeing what they will do in the future.

I love Zazzle! It's a lot easyer to load and edit your artwork than Cafepress and I had an account on cafepress for over a year and no one purchased anything. I've have an account on ZAZZLE for 5 months and have sold a few things and even got a check!!!!

oh, forgot to add:
I love the new Zazzle Merch booth! Now I can create 10, 20, or 30 products at a time! No more creating one item at a time for me!
Useing Zazzle's Merchbooth I created over 400 new products for my gallery this week alone! It used to be slow to create stuff, cause you could only create one item at a time, and for the longest time I only has 15 items in my gallaery cause I got so bored with the slow creation process, but since they added Merchbooth, now I have over 2,000 products in my gallery! I love it!

I esp love that Zazzle no longer only ays you !0%. ugh! For years I've made next to nothing on Zazzle cause I couldn't set my own commision, but now I can set my own commision and I'm starting to make money now!

I agree! I am making the transition over to Zazzle! Check out what I have so far www/zazzle.com/caldomama
Thanks!

By the way, ArtsCafe.com not only sells stuff made in China - the company is based in China. If you want to sell stuff made by prison workers or children or political dissidents in forced labor, then that's the operation for you. Not for me, thanks.

No way, Monkeybrain!

I have shops on both CP and Zazzle but CP has always performed way better for sales, they have a great marketplace with lots of customers and also a well developed affiliate program.

I make more on CafePress too. But then again, Zazzle has keyrings.

I make more on Cafepress than Zazzle. Simple reason to love Cafepress.

EelKat says:
I have been on CafePress longer than Zazzle and have made more money because CafePress ALWAYS let you set your own commision (Zazzle only started doing it for the Christmas season 2007... CafePress had the option like 7 years ago.)
Plus CafePress has some pretty cool products that Zazzle doesn't have: tiles, jewlery boxes, dog shirts, clocks, pillows, etc.
Both are good though, so I use them boh.

Only CafePress offers a GREAT bonus program
Customized Premium Shops are MUCH easier to work than Zazzle galleries
The forums on CafePress are unbeatable
I'm making way more $$$ on CafePress than on Zazzle

What you say is true, and I don't want to slam Zazzle, but they do not offer the option of determining which shirts a design is sold on. That's important to me, as some of their shirts are made in the USA, ethically, and some aren't.
I won't sell shirts made in sweatshops, and because Zazzle won't allow me to make that restriction, I cannot ethically sell shirts at Zazzle, and have to use Skreened and CafePress instead. Try out Skreened!

I wish that I could make more than one product at a time on Zazzle. It takes way too long to set up my designs.

Even thoug Zazzle is technically better than Cp, Cp is still the top contender.
It generate more sales and traffic than zazzle.

You don't have a third option--which you did cause I'd take it. I think they both rock...but I will say that Zazzle isn't "better" so much as they are both better at certain things.
Zazzle rocks because of...
-Custimization (customers can change the design) and use templates
-Your own free shop with SECTIONS! (Yeah!)
-Awesome feedback options--letting the customer keep favorites, join fan clubs, leave comments, and rate products builds a relationship between customer and artist--LOVE THAT.
-More flexibility in design
-More shirt styles, more mug styles, and more bag styles!
-ROUND STICKERS (can't say how much I love the round stickers)
-Keychains
-Ties
But CafePress has..
Lower prices on most items and much lower shipping on almost everything.
Muct easier way to add a design to a lot of products at once.
Tile coasters, boxes, and plaques (I love the tile boxes) and ornaments (love those too!), teddy bears, pillows, clocks.
A lot more designs available to shop through in the marketplace(though that may change)
But THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY PRINT ON DEMAND MARKETS OUT THERE!
ArtsCafe.com offers free storefronts that rock, 100s of products neither CafePress or Zazzle, and prices that will AMAZE you. Like all places it has it drawbacks. It's a harder learning curve as a shopkeeper because they are relatively new and don't have as many good help-files to learn from. Shipping takes forever. But hey, it only costs $3 freaking dollars! And if you go for a payed shop you get an even lower base price on your products, free shipping, and ability to offer coupons for your store and yours alone!
And then there's...
Printfection.com
OK, so they mainly only have t-shirts, but they have SO MANY MORE COLORS of shirts there, and the quality of the printing is AWESOME. You have fully customizable shops. Its easier to add products than Zazzle, but you still have some ability to move your design around on the T-shirt and resize it if you want to.
So, I think it just depends what you want to do.

there's one MAJOR thing that zazzle lacks that CP has. the ability to customize. that's something that just HAS to be fixed before zazzle can really be called top dog.
in response to the free thing on CP...it's $60 a year...you can sell less than 10 shirts and pay for the service...not such a bad price.
Sure Zazzle has better products, but you can only create one product at a time and you can't shop by design...which customers prefer.
