Gifts of the Day Blog Inviting Authors
It will be by invitation to begin with, but if you are a Zazzler or contribute regularly already then as long as I have your email address you should hopefully get an invite. Please email me via my store if you think that I don't have your email contact and therefore unlikely to receive an invitation in the early stages. The reason I ask for an email from within Zazzle / your store to my store page is so that I can at least verify who you are and that it is a legitimate request. If you don't know my store, you will find it at: http://www.zazzle.com/imaginationscape*
The roll-out will start on the Gifts of the Day blog.
What You'll Be Able to Do
As an author, what you will see on the site, the below editing pencil that will give you access to your post:
With 'Author' access you will be able to access and edit your post by clicking on the pencil icon. |
Simply adding labels will help with searches for your product and for your products to appear in more places, especially once blogs are written on certain gifts under particular labels for example wedding gifts, pets, sports, music etc. This helps to categorise your products so they can be pulled up by labels easily. Adding your store name as a label means you can pull up all your products submitted for that store easily.
Labels you add will appear at the bottom on your posts. |
Your label will appear at the bottom of each post as above but also in a separate window displayed currently on the side bar split out by different themes as below. There are currently five label options visitors can browse with including: gift product categories, themes, styles, special occasions, and Artist / store submissions.
Labels allow visitors to easily look for gifts but also for artists to find your own products as above. |

The sense of fun in the designs is not only prelevant in the vibrant colours but also the themes. One popular design example to look out for is the family of cute kawaii alien monsters cartoon that you will see on speakers and other items. Other designs feature her fractal artwork and more psychadelic graphics.

Art Gift Ideas: Artist Spotlight: Ulrich Schwanitz - You & Me - The Scrappies Bronze Figurines
Ulrich Schwanitz from Venlo, Netherlands creates bronze sculptures and pendants from 3D digital designs. His latest creation, the "You & Me" figurines from the "Scrappies" series represent love, affection and mutual commitment - emotions that everyone values and never loses their significance.
The bronze figurines are inspired by everything you can find in a scrapyard: old nuts and bolts, tin cans, pipes, coils, parts of ball bearings, but they are actually manufactured in a novel "3D printing" process. Ulrich is now running a campaign at Indiegogo and will personalize the figurines with two initials of your choice.
