Having your products promoted on the Zazzle Marketplace just became more lucrative with the new hover feature Zazzle has implemented on certain banners on select landing pages like Valentine’s Day Gifts page. When a customer hovers over the items on the banner image with their mouse dots appear over the products. When the cursor is put directly over one of the dots associated with a product, a pop-up box appears. The box contains an image of the product, the designer’s name, and a direct link to the product page. This is FABULOUS!

This new hover feature now gives the customer the chance to purchase the product directly. Before, they would have to do a search through the Zazzle marketplace to find something they saw on a banner.

To have one of your products used in these banners and subsections on the Zazzle pages is obviously an awesome promotional opportunity for the designer selling the product. I don’t know how products are chosen.

However, the Zazzle marketing team knows what is trending and chose the products with their marketing strategy in mind. So keep current with trends and design for them. You just might see one of your products in a promotional banner with a direct link for customers to buy it.

Valentine’s Day Featured Products in a Category are Promoted in the Popular Product Sort on Zazzle

The new hover feature does not work on product-type sections like the ones shown in the image above. A product featured in a category, like this box of chocolates, shows up as the first product on the popular sort for that search the first time customer clicks through. However, if they move off the page and then come back via a regular search, that featured product is no longer first.
