Zazzle! It's all free and it makes them seem honest & reasonable. Their customizing program is amazing too. I think Cafe Press is being too greedy taking all the fees...

I earn more money from CafePress, but I totally agree about why Zazzle is better. For me, I prefer Zazzle because of the way you can upload one image and fit it to your product, rather than uploading dozens of images, one to fit each product as you have to on CP. I also love how Zazzle is 100% customizeable by the customer.

Agreed! I am making money with Zazzle, too, and working to increase my exposure to make even more.

I fully agree with you! There is no comparison between the two!

sandyspider says:

No doubt about it. I started with CafePress as a basic member. I really can't see paying for your CafePress site. There is so much more you can do on Zazzle.

Elizabeth's Cabbage Roses & More says:

I started with CafePress, because the idea of putting my passion on products and sell them sounded great. but alas, for me, I couldn't figure it out. It's not user friendly like I've found Zazzler is. I just hope Zazzler would introduce products like hard back journal books, tea towels, etc...

capturedbykc says:

I can't really say because I turned away from cafepress just before signing on with them but I believe so...at least from everything I see and hear. I love having a zazzle shop. It allows me to be creative openly and to share my work with others while being completely risk free to me. Can cafepress say that? idk

Zazzle has easier to use graphic loading. Cafe Press has more products, but Zazzle is still better, and Zazzle does not charge.

Probably the best course of action is to try both!

I found a comment I left in back in 2008 ... and have since changed my mind! I'm so glad I found Zazzle!

I started with cafepress and two years later saw and opened up a personalized gallery with zazzle. Zazzle is more professional, open source and customizable products, artist's gallery and versatile with seller's percentages from merchant sales. Quality of product profusely higher than cafepress tho' there are things about the mass posting of graphics to product templates and the turn around for quick sales at cafepress. Guess, I am in the middle and happy to use both merchants.

I like Zazzle far better than Cafe Press, for many of the reasons you listed. Plus, you can add text/fonts/background colors right there in Zazzle, and in Cafe Press, you cannot do that. Plus, you have to upload five or six of every picture (one in every size) in order to create a product in Cafe Press. Zazzle all the way!!!!

No way, Monkeybrain!

Don't know. trying to find info about a few such platforms and join the one which offers the best deal.

I personally earn more from cafepress!

CP has a marketing deal with Twilight to make Twilight designs official fan merch, rather than risking copyright infringement, so it's CP for me!

I vote for cafepress because I earn more from cafepress. However, I am getting into Zazzle too.

SideSplitters says:

I just don't like the customization on Zazzle. It's not as seller friendly in some aspects...it takes a long time to get a lot of products on there, whereas with CP you can bulk add in a snap. My two cents.

Timewarp says:

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.

AnnaleeBlysse says:

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

fefe says:

Cafepress is easier and I think more profitable.

draik says:

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

irregularworld says:

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.

freelief says:

It's not you, it's me. I just don't get a warm fuzzy feeling from Zazzle.

viceroy says:

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

goldenecho says:

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.
