My old Zazzle products are selling. In some cases, it is the first time they have ever sold, as much as 4 years after posting them for sale in my Zazzle store! I think it is because I have been editing the titles and tags of my previously posted Zazzle products. I have been working on “cleaning up” my stores. This includes deleting poor designs and editing the product information on items that I think are still relevant to keep in my stores. In this article, I give you 3 examples of how my old Zazzle products provide me with timeless value.

Old Zazzle Products and Their Timeless Value

I am sure you feel the same way as I do about your old Zazzle products. You worked hard to design them, but years have gone by and they have not sold. Or you sold a product once 3 years ago but never again! What can you do? You have already promoted the products on social media or added them to a website.

Recently we have been told by Zazzle to delete products with no views or sales or old designs which are no longer relevant or poorly done. The other option is to edit the titles and tags of these products to give them a new chance of being found in searches. This is what I have chosen to do. I am now seeing results from my editing efforts with royalty earnings. I am now realizing the timeless value of these old Zazzle products.

Sold Zazzle Product For the First Time 4 Years After Posting it For Sale

I made this sunflower rehearsal dinner invitation (see image above) in 2013, edited the tags in 2016, and finally made my first sale in 2017, 4 years after posting it for sale in my Zazzle store!! The only change I made was editing the tags.

The tags are specific and descriptive and obviously helped a customer find and purchase my unique design (see image below).

I sold 50 invitations and made $15.50 US in royalties. That is a nice surprise to see a large royalty payment for a product I made 4 years ago!

I almost deleted this Sunflower Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Invitation, because it had so few views, all of which were more than a year ago.

Boy am I glad that I edited the tags instead of deleting the product. I would have lost out on my $15.50 royalty payment!!!

This showed me (and now you) the timeless value this previously overlooked product really has.

It Takes Time to See the Effects of Editing Zazzle Product Tags

Sometimes your product will sell soon after making editing changes to the title and tags. However, other times it requires patience because you may only see the positive effects of your edits in a few months. I posted my “Blessed” Baby Photo Pillow (see image below) for sale in 2015, and only made my first sale in 2017!

It took 2 years to see the first sale of this pillow (see the second image below) and it only happened 9 months after making the product tag edits.

I knew it was a good design and a desirable product. I just needed to make sure people found my product.

I also had to account for seasonal factors. Baby products are more popular at certain times of the year compared to others. This may explain why it took so long to make a sale, even though I did not do anything else to alter or promote the product.

Even though a product may not sell right away, it still has a timeless value.

Boost the Sales of Previously Sold Products

I first sold this Tattoo Artist Business Card 5 years ago in 2013 (see image above).

Even though sold products are always visible in the Zazzle marketplace, I had not sold this card again since 2015. I decided to edit the tags in January 2017 and just sold this card in April 2017. The first sale in 1.5 years!! (see image below)

My card design obviously has timeless value. It just needed to be found by customers.
