Zazzle is working hard to pick up the large cookies Cafepress has been dropping in it’s desire to stuff it’s face. Not wanting to let an opportunity to woo existing Cafepress shopkeepers over to their platform, Zazzle has stepped up and provided a lengthy (and often general I admit) post about their future plans.

The entire post can be read on the Seller Blog and includes items like plans to:

  • Get your content on Zazzle, fast:
    Drag-and-drop thousands of images directly into your account with Zazzle’s Bulk Image Uploader for Windows. Coming very soon: Zazzle’s new flash-based Bulk Uploader allows Macs and PCs to upload hundreds of images to your account at a time!
  • Create Zazzle products quickly:
    Use Zazzle’s Quick Product Create (QPC) tool to create up to 100 products simultaneously. Use QPC in conjunction with Zazzle templates to rapidly create great-looking products. Coming very soon: Sku / Style filtering allows you to control the available styles for your Store’s custom products!
  • Control the look and feel of your Zazzle Store:
    The Zazzle zBar reduces the size of the standard Zazzle header to provide you with more space to highlight your own Store branding. The Zazzle Create API allows you to pass custom content to Zazzle products from your own site. The Zazzle Store Builder allows for easily featuring your Zazzle Store products on an external website. Coming very soon: Zazzle’s Advanced Store Customization Public Beta will allow for highly-flexible Store skinning using CSS and custom HTML!
  • Take advantage of Zazzle’s rapidly growing traffic:
    Zazzle.com nearly tripled in traffic in the last 12 months and now has over 7.5 million unique visitors per month with no signs of slowing down (Compete.com is low, but is a good relative indicator of growth). Zazzle’s Google Base upload service streamlines the process of listing products in the Google search engine. Zazzle also recently launched a true localized website in the United Kingdom, optimizing the new domain implementation (www.zazzle.co.uk) to enable Sellers to reach an important market of brand new customers. Coming soon: More localized international sites, more new customers!

Ever the opportunists of at Zazzle they are and while I don’t agree with some of the things they do, this is a smart move.
