RedBubble Post Card - November Free Shipping Deal and more ...

Well October was a busy month. Here’s a few interesting stats from the last month:

- 1,981 sales notifications sent;
- 7,812 items of art ordered;
- 90,000 new works uploaded;
- 5,000 new members; and
- 350,000 comments.

But stats don’t tell you everything. We’ve continued to receive feedback from people on how the RedBubble community is helping individuals rediscover their creative passion – and this is awesome! Your encouraging and supportive comments are powerful. And a short note on comments – the longer and more meaningful comments are the ones that people have found most encouraging. It makes people feel that others have taken the time to really study and consider their work – a sign of respect and a huge compliment!

We’ve also received lots of feedback on how people would like to see RedBubble evolve – and we’re listening to this feedback. We’re not always able to act on all suggestions and even the suggestions we want to act on often take a while to make it out the door. So please be patient with us. Our philosophy is to listen and adapt. We often always launch things at a very early stage and then listen to your feedback to evolve the feature. Groups is a good example of this. We launched a very early version of groups and we knew it wasn’t the final destination. We will evolve groups over the next three months. A lot.

If you want to know what’s on the road map for the next few weeks Justin’s written a good post here and if you want to understand what’s behind the RedBubble team more generally Pilgrim’s written a great post here .

And finally we’re very keen to avoid a late rush of Christmas orders which will stress out our production folks – so we’re running a couple of promotions in November (hint: please place any Christmas orders in November).

Here’s a free shipping coupon that you can all use as many times as you like: ‘Novembershipping’.

Just enter this coupon during the checkout process to receive the free shipping offer. For all orders over US$100 (AU$110, GBP50, EUR70) we’ll also e-mail you a coupon after the order to the value of 10% of the transaction for your next purchase on RB.

    I’d like to say that I read your post and am duly impressed by the composition, grammar and use of other people’s names.

    I am also immensely pleased to see that you are listening to us members. As such a member, I actually feel more like am employee or co-worker, I think it is because of the way you allow us to express ourselves and you listen AND respond to us. No generic emails from you.

    So as you can see, I am more than pleased to be part of this community. In fact, since I’ve joined, this is about the only place (besides 2 other minor ones) where I contribute anything of art or word.

    Thanks once again for your wonderful work and effort and genuine care and love for all of us.

    Kindest Regards and have another drink …

    RD

    ps … I didn’t go back to check for spelling mistakes … sorry

    Thanks Peter, You guys at RB are truly amazing and in this very impersonal world, it’s great to be a part of a very real, supportive community of talented artists that, as you said, take the time to encourage each other and express their respect for other’s efforts and hard work. Keep up the wonderful work and congratulations on the phenomenal growth of the site and business. It shows that “Good Old Fashioned Customer Service” is not dead, but alive and well !!!!

    RB, you are the best! I have never before ‘joined up’ with anything really, Internet-based or not. I have found the experience of being part of the RB community to be the most rewarding and exciting experience. No-one ever says a bad word, everything is encouraging and promoting; it is so heart-thumping to open your site, check for new comments, see who has added to their favourites, who has posted new work, etc. I went away to Sydney for the weekend and almost couldn’t STAND not being able to check RB! I’m suggesting to all my friends that they buy their Christmas cards from RB (including mine, I hope), so with everybody else out there taking advantage, you may have a huge rush on the coupon deal. Hope so. Onya!

    I spent nearly half an hour trying to find this in the forums. Finally I entered ‘november shipping’ in Search, thinking, that’s way too vague… oh, well. Thanks for the offer, folks.
