RedBubble

Interesting stats, thanks for sharing :)

Look at us grow!!

Glad to be a tiny part of this!

Wow! That IS quite the spike! We need to find more reasons to host some free shipping promotions ;) Though at this rate, if they happen every hundred thousand, we’ll be there again in no time! I can honestly say that it was the most sales I ever recieved in one week… 7 or so? I also think that the double the mark-up coupled with free shipping really sealed the deal for family and friends that didn’t want to buy four or more of whatever it was they wanted to purchase.

Kudos to RB again for an outstanding job and taking the world by storm!

Thanks for sharing Peter – some really interesting stuff indeed.

I must admit I had a bumper sales week
Much unexpected
Thanks guys

It’s so cool to be part of something special.

Thats truly awesome RB. THANK YOU!

I loved the promotion, gave a reason (“free postage, and double artist royalties”) to promote my redbubble work to friends, which i otherwise may not have felt comfortable doing. so thanks for doing it…and got me my first sales too. Yes from a friend, but still exciting for me.

I too was recently contacted by a company to licence a couple images too, they also found it through googling. Went into their office for a meeting and to see what they wanted to do. They ended up wanting one image for their annual report cover, and a 12 month licence on another to use in their publications.

Brillo RB!
I just have one little teeny gripe, when I order something to buy, it takes no time at all to be delivered considering the product. But, my Mum finally made the decision to go out on a limb and purchase a couple of calendars that I made up for her. She was a little put off, however when they did not arrive for nearly a month. She did love the quality though, so hopefully I will talk her into browsing the site again.

yeah that was awesome i sold 8 ts in that period! oct was by far the best month ive ever had..

Thank you RB!!! Really appreciate all that you do!!! :o))

congrats to all no redbubble :)

Excellent work all round and most interesting the round up of the week’s activities.

I had the best week ever sold 23 calenders and 7 cards… thanks redbubble

love the facts and figures! thanks RB people.

WOW Great Info- Thanks RB x

Congrats to all :)

great news, I think also having the cost of the purchase removed helped a lot. hugsxxx

holy moly look at that spike last week – congrats people

And I wasn’t any of them .. silly me. Interesting facts, though; thank you for sharing!

Cool, I know you guys always work hard on improving what you have, and you do it so well, thanks! I thought maybe it was because she is not a member?

simply awesome

Funny, I actually had a DECREASE in sales that week sold 12 tees)...but I was selling like crazy for 2 weeks before, and a few days after the special week. Either way, I’m happy :)

thank you RB…and congratulation to all

it was a great week!!! congrats rb!!!

thats great…...thanks Peter

Great stuff Peter!

Wow, that is EXCELLENT news…what an ispiration to all of us at RB….
Excellent …excellent!!!

Thank you Peter! I sold like crazy last week too!!

thanks for sharing those stats…

I also sold 5 matted prints this last week. Hooray!
I’m part of 10% :D

Thank you for sharing these stats

I only joined Bubble a few weeks ago and sold a print last week..can’t tell you how suprised and pleased I was.
Also want to say thanks for all the inspirational work of other photographers on Bubble.

Well congratulations for boosting your sals target by increasing the margins and reducing costs. Well done, perhaps you should make this a permanent feature.

Well i managed to sell ZERO and bought 20 cards and three tees.

I am giving up photography ciao baby

i didn’t sell anything either. But i sold 23 prints yesterday on a shoot! Nice.

Congrats to all who made sales well done

well done Redbubble and yes I had a good sales week as well…. most I’ve ever sold in one week…. that was cool…......:)

Became a member too late for this time!!! however now I’m here watch the sales go through the roof.
The optomist.

Many thanks for this promotion
I also ran my own for Calenders
During this time I can sucessfully say
I sold 2 cards, 3 prints, 2 Caleneders and 2 T-Shirts
A big success I’d say!
Many thanks RB!

Have to say it made no difference to me, I haven’t sold anything in 2 months. I’ve been on RB a year and sold 4 cards and 2 laminated prints…..... I must be doing or not doing something wrong. Nice to see that others are selling though, good luck to everyone :). are you going to be having free shipping again before christmas?

Congratulations to everyone who has sold their art!!! It always full the heart so much! I wish everyone good health and a lot of inspiration!

I made my first sale this week after selling 2 cards – just wanted to share and say thanks RB for offering us a place to show and sell our work.

Congrats to Judith! I also had a similar thing happen to me – I’ve licensed my ‘Winged’ artwork to be used as the branding image for an exhibition at the Museum of Melbourne. The curator found it here on RB and called me – so thanks RB!

Great stats. Looks like the free shipping is a hit. Maybe having more instances of free shipping would boost sales during the time of year when things are quiet. I know I’m more inclined to buy when the shipping is free. :)

What I really love about RB is the transparancy, like giving us this information. Of course also the quality of the prints and T-shirts and the wonderful artists on this sit. Thank you RB, I became very much a fan of this site and yes, we sold too!

Maybe the next reason for free shipping could be when we hit 100,000 members? Or actually 90,000 is a good round figure!! LOL Peter

many many smiles!

oh wow what a stunning result!!!
way to go everyone!!!
woohooo!!!

Looks like I joint the right website. Glad to be part of this.

Cheers.

I found it super I bought my own, free shipping helped /decided so much .

Excellent results, well done !!!

Can we do it again soon ??

Thanks for sharing!

This is Wonderful News, I How I Get People to Come by and Check out My Work….
God Bless
ANNA

Ooooh stats – they are great stats ad very interesting. I think a lot of bubblers are possibly writers too who sell less and use RB as a forum for critique and as a place to reference editors to- in the mean time hopefully that in itself generates a few sales by people clicking on items we have favourited for example. Go RB!

Congrats to everyone who sold something :-)
I’m still waiting for my first sale notification – then I’ll be doing my own Happy Dance.

Thanks RB! I had an awesome sales week! I sold 5 tees,a canvas,a calendar and amounted print!
Keep up the great work! :)

thanks rb i sold a calendar

It’s nice seeing the stats : ) I’m sure sales will continue to rise, the longer RedBubble is around, and of course because of Christmas coming up. I like the community feel here. Congratulations to those who made sales!

Great to see what I’ve just become a part of

Thank you for sharing these facts/stats – important news to understand trends and usage – and congrats on the spikes and sales in general!

woohoooo awesome!!

Wow!!! Thanks for sharing stats.

And some call it just a fad…haha!! I belong in that big spike of last Christmas. Another big fact (and I know it must be one but not measurable), RB has been and is a vehicle that has given birth to thousands of pieces of creativity. I know for me, I wrote here and there, after joining RB, I have never been more focused and zoned in on a now passion. I have taken up photography, now another passion. The left side of my brain has flourished because of the community of RB…..... this to me is THE outstanding aspect of RB – one I am truly grateful for and one you should be most proud of. And yes, I have bought and sold and… made many close and life long friends. A fad… Nah!! A love affair… YES!!

All good news :)

interesting write-up. Ads are always key and you guys have such a great product… It should continue to soar :)

just makes me happy to be here

Thanks so much for sharing! :)

Great to see some stats!

I can’t say enough good about RB – I’ve only had my work up for a month and made two sales recently – so I’m very pleased with the results so far!
A great concept for artist as well as buyers, and obviously a model making an established foothold in online art sales reflected in the data provided here.

congrats to the RB community!
cheers to everybody!

Thanx for the stats : ]
Interesting in deed !
Yes! And cheerZ !

Interesting stats. Thanks for posting this :)

Thanks for posting this information and graph. After being on here for about 6 months, and I love this site, I’ve had 1400+ views – some of my designs have over 100 views – but there have not been any sales except for the ones I’ve bought myself.

What am I doing wrong?

The second graph proves the importance of tags, the more the better, obviously as long as they have a real connection to your pieces.

Well I sold a couple of prints, 2 framed prints and a calendar.. pretty happy with that!

- paul

it’s nice to see how the site and it’s members are doing. those stats are fantastic. Personally, I haven’t made any sales yet, but I’m still hopeful. and still striving to improve! Maybe next time. :)
This promotion was a wonderful idea, and I hope to see it again soon.

I know the free shipping for family and friends helped me out a lot because my rellies love to buy my calender for xmas but last year had to first send to me then send to them and charge the postage…also the comment about search engines I like to tell you all that I was searching for ways to feed attract more of my beautiful blue wrens to my garden and entered into the search engine blue wren feeding and I got a link to images of blue wrens on redbubble which I was proud to see that on the very first page of that list was three of my blue wren pics… My calender sales have double from last year also because was able to get them out earlier so that should reflect in the stats. (not my sales ..lol… all sales)

Great graph!! Nice to see it gradually on the rise over time. Also interesting to see that most of the purchases are made by non-posters. Very encouraging.

Here’s a challenge for all the RB’s out there. Promote, promote, promote. Let’s get that graph up even higher.

I love graphs like this! I am very impressed. I am excited that my work is part of that graph.

ARTISTS AND BUBBLERS UNITE!!!!! We may outsell Ebay someday !!!!!!

My wife bought a mounted print of “Buzzer Boy” which is the same image as Tears In Heaven but with the name changed as it is a gift.

and what a rush of sales it was !!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that’s great news. well done guys.

Thanks for these stats RB, it’s good to see them every now and then, very interesting!
Congrats on a great October, it was the best month I’ve had on RB (in terms of sales, that is).

Very interesting and a very good week! :)

Regarding sales, at what stage does the sales notification email to the seller is sent? automatically at the time of receiving the order/payment or at a later stage?

Thanks

Anne :)

great i am a new member to this but it looks really exciting. keep up the good work all you fellow artsists and thanx red bubble.

Awesome news!!!

Awesome! Congrats to all!!!

wow, didn’t imagine before.

Thanks so much for sharing! : D

I loved the idea of the promotion, but even though I thought through that Australia is ahead of us (in hours), figured that Thursday evening would still get me the extra income and free shipping. However, I was too late. Perhaps in the future for any such specials, it would be nice to say something about ‘local time’ or something. Even with thinking it through I missed it (probably by a matter of mere minutes or hours), but imagine how those in the U.S. or elsewhere who didn’t think it through feel!

Good News !!!
thanks for sharing.

Wonderful News!!!!! It will only get better!!!!!!

CORRECTION: Appreciate the mention in the column above; the correct spelling of my name is Judith Oppenheimer (not Oppenheirmer), just in case anyone wants to do a search on my images. :-)

That’s fantastic to hear! I only just started using this properly the other day, so this is very encouraging :)

Really nice to be a part of the red bubble phenomenon. Its getting bigger and better.

This is not a “sour grapes” comment, but it does concern me.

I wrote a comment 6 days ago about having no sales while some of my individual pictures have been viewed more than 200 times. Today, I found my pictures on another site, Pixdaus. All that Pixdaus asks is for a site-member to provide the URL of a picture they like and it goes up on the Pixdaus site. I downloaded a couple of photographs and they are a good size and of print quality.

There are 6,788 pages of pictures, and they even provide the code to add any picture on their site to your own website or blog. There are other sites that provide information on Redbubblers and which groups they belong to, their journal entries, etc.

I told Pixdaus to remove all my work from their site which they did. Is this common? What percent of Redbubblers have found their work – free for the taking – on another website?

Great growth. Let us go forth..:-)

well done to you RB and to us for being part of this great site.always happy to hear RB doing great and getting bigger.

I wish i could sell some of my art here lets hope it works for all of us artists.
