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. - Peter

RedBubble Post Card - Everyone's an artist

Hello fellow bubblers, I thought it might be useful if we tried to give you an insight into the ‘mind of RedBubble’ – every now and then. To give you an understanding of what makes us tick. One of the key ideas underpinning RedBubble is that ‘everyone’s an artist’. Let me restate part of our very first journal post “People are inherently creative. Deep down, most of us love to come up with new ideas, express who we are, or take a different perspective on the world around us. This is particularly true of children. Remember chalk on the footpath, crayon on the walls, or a painting stuck proudly to the fridge with a magnet. Kids love stories, they love learning about new things, they ask obvious yet somehow overlooked questions. So why don’t many of us focus on our creative interests as adults? Is there something about the process of growing up that changes us, that convinces us to be serious and sensible? Do we lose the ability to be creative? Or does it just get buried amidst the responsibilities, worries and priorities of adult life? Look closer, though, and you’ll see sparks of creativity in adults everywhere. Since starting our RedBubble journey, we’ve been amazed at how many of our close friends have “confessed” to a secret creative hobby, a little spark of creativity that few else know about. Look at the statistics and the picture is clearer still. Over 2.5 million Australians regularly take part in some sort of creative or cultural activity. Almost 90% do this entirely for free, for the simple enjoyment of it. A fortunate few earn a living from it, but most keep their creative spark alive in their own time and without sharing it with the world. RedBubble was founded with a burning desire to improve this situation. And there are some major social and technological trends helping us out.“ We openly want to embrace a wide variety of material on RedBubble, from a wide variety of people – from professional artists to emerging artists to people just discovering their artistic side. We don’t want to place more limits or barriers in the way of people – life has enough barriers – so we’ve tried to keep RedBubble as open as possible. This is why we haven’t placed any upload limits on the site and why we don’t vet content before it’s published. We’ve recently received feedback from the community that such an open approach has meant people might be encouraged to post ‘anything’ to RedBubble. Our thinking is that RedBubble should be the place for your best work and over the next short while we’re looking to update the site to further encourage this behaviour. But we don’t want RedBubble to become an elite only site – we don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. - Peter

RedBubble Post Card - The roadmap

Hello all, Thought you might be interested in a sneak preview of what’s in the RedBubble road map for the next two to eight weeks. And a caveat to start with – things change – so please don’t take this as a rock solid guarantee. Groups First up we’re looking to introduce an early version of ‘groups’ this Thursday. The group functionality will evolve a lot over the next six months – so what you’ll see on Thursday is just the first step. Our thinking on groups is that they will allow people to immerse themselves more fully in their areas of interest. For example, we could have a landscape photography group or a street photography group. At the moment RedBubble has 15,000 members – and it can be hard to engage with a collection of 15,000 people. Groups will allow us all to engage with smaller collections of people – with a shared interest. T-shirts On 4 October we’ll switch all our t-shirt manufacturing the US (using a technology that can print white inks). We’ll also be adding a new style and new colour. Again this isn’t the final destination for t-shirts … just another small step. Tools for buyers Over the next month or two we’ll update the site to make it easier for buyers to find what they are looking for. This has yet to be finalized but could include such things as a buyer path through the site and improved search functionality. Tools for artists Over the next month or two we’ll also look to provide artists with more tools to promote their work – widgets and fingers crossed a ‘private’ version of RedBubble: e.g. peter.redbubble.com which could serve as a ‘shop front’ for any traffic I’d like to direct to RedBubble (i.e. it wouldn’t include comments, it would only include my images and wouldn’t link to the rest of RedBubble). Other new products and features Gift certificates, an updated canvas product, larger wall art products, integrating payment into the website, and a few features to encourage people to use RedBubble for their best work (e.g. an updated upload process and the studio idea that we’ve previously written about here). Competitions A competition for writers and visual artists – our writers haven’t been feeling as much love over the last little while and we want to start addressing this. And there’s probably a whole bunch of stuff I’ve forgotten about (and there’s a few things that we’re working on that are not quite ready to go in the road map) but this should give you a sense of what’s in the pipe works for the next couple of months. - Peter

Migaloo is a mixed media production on canvas textured paper. Gazing out to sea on a warm summer day, she notices something, some movement further out to see, was that a splash or just the sea crashing on a bombie or coral reef out there? squinting…..squinting…..squinting…..... oh my! it’s a white whale!....Migaloo no less!

In today’s post card I’d like to share with you my thoughts on the relationship between RedBubble and the members of the site. The way I view the relationship is that RedBubble’s here to act as a catalyst and facilitator. RedBubble is not about ‘RedBubble’ – it’s about all the people that are part of the site. RedBubble shouldn’t become the centre of attention. RedBubble’s job is to take care of all the background stuff. The website. Production and logistics. Payment. Solving problems. Listening. RedBubble’s job is to lower barriers – to make things easier. But I don’t want RedBubble to do everything. Two things we always want to leave up to you: being creative and sharing your creativity. For example, if you’re interested in selling your work I’m a firm beliver that the the very best person to share / market your work is you! Why? Because we’re all relational creatures – we value a sense of connectedness. I’d much rather buy a t-shirt from Ed then someone I don’t know because each time I put it on it reminds me of his crazed English demeanor. And he’s pretty cool (but don’t tell him). Am I on the right track? I’d be interested in your thoughts. Ciao for now, Peter

RedBubble Post Card - January Thinking

Hello! Well I think we’re finally catching our breath after a mad couple of months. There was a free shipping promotion in November that ‘took off’ and a few of the production folks ended up working 24 hours a day to get everything out in time for Christmas. On top of the big influx of orders our t-shirt printer broke down in the last week of November – with gave poor old Ed about a month of heartache. Thanks Ed for carrying RedBubble through all the t-shirt troubles. We’re spending most of January in thinking mode … much of last year was a supreme rush to listen and get things built. You can do this for only so long before needing a break to think. So that’s what we’re doing. Lots of good thinking about what to do next. We’ve been listening to your feedback in this process – and we hope to address many of your requests and suggestions over the next few months. Please be patient with us – there are only three people building the core website and they can only work so fast … (we’ll be recruiting a few more web developers in the next month or two). For those of you who are statistically minded, here’s a few stats from the last couple of months: In November: / - 3,584 sales notifications sent; / - 16,153 items of art ordered; / - 111,356 new works uploaded; / - 6345 new members; and / - 460,796 comments. In December: / - 2,075 sales notifications sent; / - 6,837 items of art ordered (38% of all sales were to non RedBubble members); / - 96,245 new works uploaded; / - 5772 new members; and / - 442,387 comments - Peter

RedBubble is about much more than selling your creative work – but I know this is an important issue for many people. And it’s been very interesting to see what work sells on RedBubble – the diversity of content is enormous. It should come as no surprise to anyone – but we all have very different taste! Between 1 September and 5:30 pm on 26 September RedBubble has sent out 1250 sales notification e-mails. This excludes all self purchases – and many of these notifications represented a multiple item sale. What’s also been interesting is to observe the relationship between the sales and a person’s level of activity on RedBubble. I’ve included a graph (below) that shows the top 15 sellers on RedBubble by number of items sold (x-axis) versus their comments on the site (y-axis). Some of the best sellers on the site are very active (9000 comments) but some are not active (2 comments). My interpretation of this data is that you don’t have to win any popularity contents to sell work on RedBubble. Comments are a wonderful way to provide encouragement and support on RedBubble (please use the critique forum for constructive criticism) – and please continue to use them for this purpose. In fact the encouragement we can provide each other on our ‘creative journey’ is one of the most special and important things about RedBubble. - Peter
