Ready to be Zazzled?
Anyone else noticing this trend lately? There’s a bunch of newcomers popping up across the web who are aiming their sights squarely at existing players. And they’re doing things better. For online invitations, first there was evite, then crush3r, and before they could even get their house in order, Pingg stepped into the ring. Same thing happened in the DIY arena: what Etsy started, Ponoko and now Shapeways have stepped up to take things to the next level.
And its happening again. For years now, CafePress has been your one-stop shop for custom tees, posters, coffee mugs, and tchotchkes. But just as they’re beginning to feel a little aged, a newcomer is stepping in to make their mark. Next time you need to print that custom tee or fire a poster off the presses, have a look at Zazzle, the newcomer in the custom print-on-demand sector.
Not only does Zazzle offer the usual array of tees, posters, and mugs, but they’ve stepped into an area that I’ve personally been interested in exploring: skateboard decks. And, to beat that, they have customizable stamps printable with your own designs!
I’ve already spoken to a friend who’s used Zazzle with great results. You can bet I’ll look to them for the poster ideas that have been bouncing around my to-do list for a while now. And how can you not love a company that’s willing to support National “Talk Like a Pirate Day”?
