  Hello Everyone Just a heads up that our customer support system is currently on the blink. We’re communicating with our providers, but currently don’t have an ETA on the fix.

For anyone who’s sent an email to support@redbubble.com in the last few days, we’ll try and get to you ASAP, but ask that you please bear with us as we sort this out. We hope you have a great weekend of doing stuff and making things. cheers The Goodly RedBubble Customer Service Folk

  Yay! I received my t-shirt re-print and I gotta say – the colours are fabulous and the placement of the design is perfect! Thank you to all at RedBubble for the wonderful customer service. I also ordered a t-shirt from thickblackoutline for my Mother’s Day gift and that arrived as well. So here are the photos of 1 happy (and somewhat silly) customer, me! FYI: I bought a small size women’s T, I am usually a size 10-12 and the fit is perfect, and long too which is fab!

  Suggestion of the day to RB Admin. If any other exhibitors disagree or agree with my idea, please comment here! I’d prefer the default when opening the ‘purchase cart’ to be on the cards (the least expensive item) rather than framed options. This might seem mad, but there are two reasons: 1. We prefer more sales, rather than none at all. Some people may baulk at the prices of these framed images – even though they are fair and reasonable!! So let them see the cards first. (Some people may prefer to purchase 50x$5 cards than purchase a $250 framed image.) / / 2. I had someone say, “Hang on, this says ‘From $3’ – but I don’t see anything under a $100.” They simply didn’t see the choices of frames, canvas, etc. They arrived at the first screen and figured that was all there was.

  Today the Manager of a local motel had a look at some of my works. I took some of the mounted prints and a large framed print as part of my marketing strategy. / They were very impressed with the framed print and purchased it on the spot. It now hangs on the wall prominently displayed in the foyer. / Even better news is that they are going to purchase another 18 framed prints (yet to be selected) to enhance the decor of some of the motel rooms. / I’m pretty happy with that result, chuffed.

  Not that long ago, before Christmas (i thinks) my friend Mish purchased one of my designs, KiwiCircle from here.. It wasnt till I went to Rainbow Serpent Festival few weeks ago (Australia day weekend) that i got to see her wearing it. Infact it was the first time i’d seen a ‘customer’ wear my designs, and what a wonderful surprise to see how she and another friend of mine (Azim) had ‘modified the t-shirt. Mish wasnt too happy with the style of the tshirt, not the type to be wearing the standard type tshirt, so she asked Azim to SLASH it! And that he did! I like it so much that im thinking of getting him to do my Sungoddess :D photo of Mish wearing the tshirt (front and back)

  Hey everyone, Firstly many apologies for being scarce of late, I have that many things going on right now I must laugh, because the other option is a padded room and a straight jacket, with afternoon Scrabble tournaments in the Games Room. The major project I am working on at the moment is doing a shoot for the Tarkine Wilderness lodge. So far it has been a piece of cake, they will be ordering most products from RedBubble which makes it ever so easy for me (OH THANKYOU REDBUBBLE GODS!) However, they have now asked me to do the photos for their website. How do I charge them for this? I know that I can sign over copyright for a fee, or even partial copyright but what is the going price for these sorts of services? Are their any resources I can turn to (aside from you, my wonderful readers)? PLEASE HELP!!! Yours in grateful anticipation / xxx I have to fly to do the whole dinner/bath/pj’s thing with the kids but I’ll be back later to see if anyone has been able to help me out.

• Making a Profit Because of Redbubble
  by Stephen Mitchell

  Do I really need to say this? We can profit from our art on Redbubble. I get the feeling people are not understanding this concept. ...

  Do I really need to say this? We can profit from our art on Redbubble. I get the feeling people are not understanding this concept. Redbubble is merely and only our personal art gallery. It’s not a static destination where you stop and stare, but a dynamic gallery of photographs forever showing art that best represents what we’d like the general public to purchase. From Cards through to Framed wall-hangings, our work is available to purchase online. Redbubble provides a slick website that is so easy for choosing frames/laminates/cards/t_shirts/etc, purchasing the product and easy-delivery system. They make it amazingly easy to be a small-business owner. Or at least make a small to moderate amount of play-money on the side. I encourage all Artists to use Redbubble to get started, but don’t let it stop you in your tracks. It staggers me how many people are sitting behind their computers with tapping fingers saying, “OK, Now they can see me, they will come here any moment now to purchase my art!” “No they won’t!! You have to find the customers yourself. Redbubble enables you to purchase your own work … and then on-sell it. / My Redbubble Business In August 2007 I purchased thirty cards via Redbubble. I gave five as gifts to very close friends, simply blank cards without messages, but with a simple note … do what you like with this. / Some people kept them, others used them within minutes to send off as Birthday cards. Most asked where I got them from and can they have more? The remaining cards sold within 24hours of arrival from Redbubble! Then I emailed those people, other friends and family, showing them my RB gallery. I have repeat customers because of this initial free promotion. We order $150 worth of cards and other stuff each fortnight, either in pre-orders or for stock. I have a box of about 120 card-ographs in stock at anytime. My lovely wife keeps a very intricate and statistical ledger of all cards in stock, those sold and those on order. Clients choose from the gallery (telling me which ones they like via email, with the name of the artwork, the style they’d like it presented _card, laminate, etc and how many of each_), we order and receive, then we take it to the customer. About a two-week turn-around time. I’ve also purchased a dozen 12”x8” of the ‘prettier’ of our photographs on each of our galleries, which are easily viewed in an A3-portfolio. These are used to determine the appropriate frame and matte colour when clients choose them. Now that Christmas is gone, I can reveal that White Gums II was picked off my gallery by a work-friend’s mother here in Adelaide, I had it framed locally, and it now sits pride of place in their lounge room! I’m very proud of that!! From the corporate world through to the suburban billiards room, everyone wants a suitable image to hang on the wall. Because I have clients who prefer not to purchase online, I’ve made it my responsibility to acquire the final product and deliver it to their offices and homes. And this system works beautifully. (More about this in the next four weeks…) 12”x8” printing from TEDS , Rundle Mall, Adelaide City. To parody and plagerise a famous quote: “Give someone a fish and they eat for a day, give them a camera with with a zoom lens, and they can shoot the most beautiful carp every day of the week!“

  I just wanted to share with you the fantastic Customer Service Redbubble showed me earlier this week. In late November I ordered a T-shirt for a Chrissy present and uptill this week it still had not been manufactured. I thought this was really strange becase everything else I had ordered had arrived promptly and it was unusual for orders to take that long…so whilst preparing to send an enquiry email I found that one had already been sent to me from the T-shirt guys explaining that they’d had some problems and my shirt would now not make it to the address by Christmas. “Bugger” was my first thought but I read on and you know what those fabulous guys have done? Well….not only have they given me a refund, but they have also issued me with a voucher to the value of the shirt and they will still ship my original shirt (it will just be a week or so late) ...How Fantastic is that!! So I would just like to publicly acknowledge the super customer service that Redbubble has exhibited and with service like this why shop anywhere else!! THANKS REDBUBBLE

• Ditto with Jo OBrien - Cards are a Visual Stimulant

  Originally to be posted as a comment at Jo O’Briens article entitled Selling Greeting Cards Through Stores (22 July 2007), but it grew too big! Jo said: / Too many people give their cards different prices when in the eye of the customer they all look pretty much the same I totally agree. / Be consistent. Stick to it. If the work is quality, you can increase the price on your cards, either individually or as a pack. But never drop the retail value. That’s like dropping your standards. Jo said: / Recently I bought a bunch of RedBubble cards and gave them all to friends. The response was amazing. They all got online to find more! Next step for me is to buy a bunch of my own cards and find excuses to give them to people. I did this with my recent purchases . / I only bought 30 of my cards. Gave 4 to close friends as gifts. Then my friends bought my stock within a few minutes. Thankfully I had enough remaining for family! I plan to purchase about 100 more … just before Christmas! Wherever I meet friends and family .. I promote my work. You are correct … with an ABN, a stamped receipt book, a stack of business cards … we become business people. Jo also has a great idea to pack each card in plastic for retail presentation, plus a great way to convince retailers to take some stock for their shop! I’m working on an idea for putting framed works in local eateries/cafés, so Jo OBrien has provided very good reading !

  Okay, so as I mentioned before I have the attention span of a gnat and this is how this little tutorial came about. Whilst trying out the custom shape tool in helping with the rule of thirds, I began to see something else that I could use it for. The image I’ve used to show this, has had no adjustments to it and I had no intention of posting it, but I think you will agree that the image itself probably isn’t the correct one to use in this case. I see a more distance scene or street scene giving the impression of being inside, behind bars, looking out. You could also use a wood effect with this, I chose to attempt to make it look like rusty bars. Or view the larger image HERE So basically do exactly the same as the first tutorial but don’t crop. Also, make sure that your foreground colour is set to something that you want to use. I chose a burgundy type colour, but black would have worked well in this case. When you have the shape over your image, press the enter key. I went to the filter menu and used the ‘craquelure’ filter. Went to the filter menu again and used the Chalk and Charcoal stetch filter. Then I went to the Layer menu and used the Layer Styles – Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and Bevel & Emboss – in that order. You could also try a pattern overlay if you wanted a wood type effect, lots of things to try out with this one. Place your new ‘window’ on to a b/ground with bricks for example. hope you enjoyed this. Custom Sahpe Tool Part 1

  It came just yesterday (packed awesomely) and man is it sweet. I had no real idea as to the quality of the Redbubble printing/mounting/post-production process but now I must say with great confidence that Redbubble do a friggin amazing job! I vainly ordered one of my own prints (Pride the Sin [The Red Edition]) , curious to see how my work would look published and the detail is incredible. I did upload a very high res file but was still happily surprised all the same. I now have to order a tee and see how they come out, thanks Red Bubble!

• Twelve Months on Redbubble

  My response to ’ What Has Redbubble Done for You?...

  My response to ’ What Has Redbubble Done for You? ’. It didn’t take me long to type this out, but I took a bit longer to sort out the words into a readable format. Redbubble has … 1. Allowed me to to read and write constructive articles of personal interest … specifically DPI and copyright legislation 2. Made me rethink my future, abilities, desires and career. 3. Has introduced me to the most amazing photographers around the world, a lot of whom are in my locality! 4. Made me learn / ... .... about the features of my DSLR, / ... ... how to utilise multimedia to fix and alter images, / ... ... more about the style of photography I truly prefer, / ... ... about finances and running a small business. / ... ... how to find and make customers in the REAL world. 5. Been my addiction since April 2007, and I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. 6. Has made me realise that not every image needs a critical or complimentary comment. I’ve learnt that I am number one , I need to care more about the way I present myself, and that my clientèle deserve that respect when I am putting my name against both my own and other people’s work. / All artwork is copyright© to Stephen Mitchell, All Rights Reserved. / You may not use, replicate, manipulate, redistribute, or modify this image without my express consent.

  Hi everyone, Recently I sold a few cards, and I’ve just had a very good review from the customer who said she wouldn’t mind if I posted it here on RB, so here it is: “I got my RB cards today….very nice!!!!!!!!!!The pic covers the whole front of the card. They are soo nice I don’t want to send them, they would look great framed….the colours are very vibrant and they actually look like little paintings. Love them! / On the back is a thumbnail of the pic, the title of the painting, your / name, your red bubble addy & red bubbles url. All very professional looking. / You can breathe a sigh of relief, they are unbelievably great! / Oh & the quality of the actual card is wonderful too. / I honestly do not have a bad thing to say about any aspect of the / printing, quality, etc. Love ‘em!!’ / http://yarnaboutyarn.etsy.com/ What a great wrap, thanks to Red Bubble for doing such a great job! I am still waiting to get my first batch, can’t wait now!!! Cheers, / Karin >

  Hello All With Valentine’s Day coming up soon, I thought I would put out an offer to anyone interested. I can create customized cards for Valentine’s, or for any other occasion you wish like Birthday, get well soon, Anniversary, etc…. All you have to do is choose a piece of artwork from my art and choose any of my images. Then send me a bubblemail with the text you wish to add to the image and I’ll make the changes and upload the customized image. You can then check the preview of the card. If it meets your approval then go a head and order it. If it does not meet your approval then let me know what needs to be changed, and I’ll do my best to make it the way you want it. Cost per customized card would be $4.99 each If you wish to order 10 or more cards I will discount the cost down to $3.99 each

  I work for a firm which retails computers and accessories and, mostly because the people I work with are too inexperienced/stupid/plain fucking lazy to be trusted with the job, I do a lot of the work of contacting customers when their goods arrive. My usual style used to be a breezy hello, how are you, do you want to come and pick it up? That certainly gave people the information they needed, but it didn’t stir them into action. Goods will sit on the shelves for weeks on end until the customer ‘finds the time’. / This is no end of an annoyance because space in the storeroom is limited. So last month I decided on a new approach. I open now with a formal Good morning or Good afternoon, and though I haven’t been keeping records, I believe there’s been a marked acceleration in customer responses. / That formal opening, instead Hi or Hello, is really the only change I’ve made. It seems that people respond to it quite differently – as someone at work commented, it’s a way of saying, I mean business. Perhaps the convenience of email works against it to a degree. Most emails sent are trivia – mine included – and we’ve become so blase about it that genuinely important messages don’t register as such. / Anyone else got a comment to make? Feel free.

  Well I have just recieved my FIRST redbubble product and i have to say I was Entirely Impressed with the quality. Both the colour matching and the paper quality are first class. Not only that…... on the back of the cards clearly printed is the URL of the artist whose work it is and a thumbnail image of the artwork…. AND THEIR NAMES … so not only is it an exceptional product for one’s own promotion… it certainly enables the artist to ‘spread the word’ about both redbubble AND the artist. Perfect collaboration and i am really happy with the whole buying experience…. timeline…. product quality and professional finish. I cannot urge you enough to order a couple of items for your own uses for the coming season…. and support the artists on this site. I think i will be here a long time. BRAVO redbubble!
