I like way RedBubble is evolving. RedBubble listens to us and consistently improves the site based on feedback from its members. So, I have put together a WishList of enhancements to a community that is creatively supportive and a potentially powerful marketing tool. One of my favorite new tools is Promote Me!
Here goes:
BubbleMail opens in a new window.
The ability to organize Comments by title or commentor.
This setup would greatly help when I want to send a BubbleMail to someone who has commented on several of my images.
An archive for BubbleMail.
Inbox (read and unread)
Sent (currently, there is no file for sent email)
The ability to view the original BubbleMail while I respond.
The ability to move images in my Art by drag and drop. It would help to have reduced-size thumbnails on the Edit/Move page.
Albums or Folders or Themes or Categories in the portfolio for organizing images. These are listed on the main public profile page outside the profile bio.
Add a blog with threads to each Group with a preview and its link on the Group’s home page. Not a Journal or Forum, a Blog.
Notification if there is a response or addition to my post in a Forum or Group.
Notification if it was a Bubbler who purchased my art. No notification beyond the sale notice if the purchaser is outside Red Bubble.
A running total of total views of my art which includes the number of views of art I have removed. It is discouraging to see my number of views drop when I edit my portfolio and remove images. I would love to know how many times my photos have been viewed since I signed up.
In MyBubble, add a view count for our Public Profiles. I would love to know that people are viewing my public profile.
Add the artist’s $Share information and current total to the Sales page. Do not show this info for purchases by the artist. The current description is enough.
Allow buyers to search categories within a price range. That would greatly simplify the process for them.
The ability to choose what images are in my Promote Me slideshow.
It is a hefty wish list, but this is the season for wishes!
What enhancements would you like to see on RedBubble?

I thought you use to be able to click on City in a person’s profile and it would be located on a map. I liked that feature and would like to see it return.

Thank you for mentioning that the Map was removed.
I miss it too!
Will RedBubble bring it back?
