Ratings

Value - 3/5

When it comes to pricing for basic promotional items like t-shirts and pens, Zazzle does not keep up with the competition. For many items, their prices far exceed other options that have a narrower focus on promotional products. However, the quality and variety of their products and services can make the price worth it for some business owners.

Customer Service - 4/5

Zazzle has great customer service, available through phone, email, and chat. While they only have representatives available Monday-Friday during business hours, they are extremely responsive and helpful.

Ease of Use - 4/5

For customers looking to upload their own design and go, Zazzle is extremely easy to use. The “create your own” feature is very intuitive, and there are no limitations on what type of image or design can be uploaded. The feature also allows users to add text. If you are hoping to find a premade graphic or design to personalize, the process is not as simple. Users cannot view available designs from one centralized location, but rather must scroll through individual product listings to find an image to customize.

Included Features - 3/5

Zazzle offers a user-friendly product customization tool that allows customers to upload images and add text to any of their many product offerings. Unlike many of their competitors, Zazzle does not provide a library of images and graphics to choose from, so you cannot build your own logo on their site. They do not offer design assistance or customization services. However, they do offer a wide range of products to select and personalize as well as the option to design and sell your products in their marketplace.

Conclusion

Zazzle is a great company with a lot to offer the right customer. They offer high-end products, top-of-the-line printing technology, and a large selection of customizable proprietary content. As a design-focused business, users can create beautifully crafted products to both buy and sell.

Zazzle has the highest prices we’ve seen for most promotional items. While they do offer bulk discounts, their per-item rates even for very large quantities remain high. They allow customers to personalize their items or upload their own, but they do not provide a design tool for crafting unique logos.
