Do you create and sell merchandise via Zazzle, Cafe Press, or other online printing service? Use this group to ask questions of other merchants and designers, to announce new designs, new Cafe Press / other shops, limited editions, special occasion merchandise and (though we hope this never happens) Going Out Of Business notices.

Share the secrets behind your success, your mistakes, and valuable tips. Exchange links and contacts with other merchants. Hire new designers and/or request design submissions and/or hold contests for best designs (in exchange for a Featured Designer promotion on your site, for example) and/or arrange to market someone's designs in your store. Brainstorm about how to effectively market yourself. New to this? No worries, we all started out as newbies.

Bands / Clubs / Groups: How do you promote yourselves? Is it effective? How do you distribute merchandise to interested fans and patrons?

Lastly: Tell us your store URL(s) so we can see what you've been up to so far! Post pix of your latest designs (and watermark them for extra security if you prefer).

NOTE: Advertising yourself is okay, obviously, but don't be ANNOYING about it. Please.
