Interesting Stuff
by RedBubbleWell the 100,000 masterpieces celebration ended …
Well the 100,000 masterpieces celebration ended a couple of days ago – and it was quite popular! Here’s a graph of the daily sales on RedBubble since we launched in Feb 07: The first big spike was Christmas last year … and the recent spike was last week. Congratulations to the 2239 folks who received a sales notification last week. Another stat I was surprised to learn recently is that 74% of members who have made a purchase on RedBubble aren’t active uploaders … it seems there is a large number of ‘fans’ active on RedBubble who just browse, comment and buy. In fact I think that only about a fifth of the members on RedBubble are trying to sell their work … so last week over 10% of the people who are trying to sell on RedBubble made one or more sales. I also found it interesting to learn that most people (64%) who make a purchase on RedBubble make their purchase on the first or second visit to the site. There’s a couple of reasons for this. RedBubble itself generates between 30% and 40% of all sales on the site through our search engine work – i.e. a potential buyer types something into Google, they find something that matches their search interest on RedBubble and buy it straight away. The second part of the explanation is that Bubblers direct their potential customers to the site … and these people come to the site in ‘buy mode’ and transact pretty much straight away. And while I’m talking about the power of the search engines, they can generate opportunities in few different ways. Judith Oppenheimer has recently licenced one of her images to an agency after they found it on RedBubble. Congratulations Judith! You can read about that here. Well that’s about it for today … oh but before I forget, you remember the incredibly cool t-shirt comp we launched last week? Well due to popular demand we’ve extended the date for entries by a few days. So you’ve no excuse to not get involved and hopefully end up with your design hanging in streetwear store Demo, in London. So get scribbling. Ciao, - Peter

Market research (Warning for Mel - Stat Alert!)

I have spent the last few months viewing the statistics on my RB account. I’ve been able to unearth a considerable amount more due to Helen Bascom pointing me in the direction of Stat Counter. I have come across some trends / information that some of you may find useful. HOMEPAGE DOES NOT MEAN FRONTDOOR In the last week, just 3% of my hits on all available pages has gone to my homepage Also, as Helen discovered, a very high percentage (>60%) spend less than 5 seconds on this page. The more than one hour stat is distorted by one member (who shall remain nameless, who thought it seemed like just 15 minutes :)) I have found for me that the homepage is not the front door that I expected it to be. The majority of my traffic coming in directly to images through a combination of activity monitors or other kind people favouriting my works. Therefore, the need to fill your homepage with anything much at all, other than a a bit about me, for when people need to know, a bit about you is not nescessary. (SOME) PEOPLE DO WORK IN THE WEEK / Looks like the best time to upload is at the weekend, more people are around and if you can get your upload times right (see later) you increase traffic quickly WHERE ARE YOU FROM / I’m surprised with this one. My work is viewed very evenly from my own country, Australia and the US. I had no idea my US following was as large as it is, that’s what took me by surprise. I usually upload at around 11.p.m. (GMT) as I catch my captive audience of Australia in the morning, the UK at just before bed time, and the US in the evening. I also love maps This is still the coolest thing i’ve seen on the internet, it took my 8 days before I broke into South America, but I got there eventually. SALES Oh yes, the all important one. I haven’t made a sale since joining Stat Counter (any volunteers, um, i’ll stop at 200 – should be enough to get a meaningful spread of data :)) so this is just based on prior knowledge. I have sold a few cards to RB members from Australia, the US and England that I have been made aware of. I’ve sold more cards, and all prints to anonymous buyers. My theory is this. My photography is ok (don’t need anyone blowing smoke up my backside and saying it’s great – It’s ok – easy on the eye but technically i’m still on the learning curve) but it does have relevance. Darren Stones is an excellent example of someone promoting his local area. I’m more likely to sell a mounted print of the sunrise at Folkestone to someone that lives in Folkestone than someone who lives in Bolivia. There are many amazing photos on this site alone to compete with, and nicer ones than mine to choose from for impact. Conclusion / For my type of photography, if I want to sell, I need to start on my front door (the local tourism websites are great at ignoring my e-mails, maybe they all got lost), but I know some people go to local fares and sell cards quite well. I’m getting together some prints to display at a cafe / parlour soon – so i’ll see what comes from that. Hope someone found some of this some use / help or a good read. Stuart

Pedernales State Park, Johnson City, TX. This is a beautiful part of Texas. The water was so inviting, but very cold! The rock formations in this area were fun to climb around on.

Just kidding….it’s a bit more than a dingy. / Here are the numbers: * When Sun Princess was launched in 1995 she was the world’s biggest cruise liner and set new standards in passenger ship design * Sun Princess was the biggest cruise liner ever to sail under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Stretching 49.4m above the waterline – the equivalent of a 20-storey building – she was clearing the bridge’s road deck with just 4m to spare * Weighing a huge 77,000 tons, Sun Princess is equivalent in tonnage to 68 Manly ferries, 200 Qantas jumbos and 706 blue whales – the world’s biggest animal * Sun Princess is 1.7 times the size of the legendary Titanic (46,000 tons) and bigger than Cunard’s famous QE2 (70,300 tons) * If tipped on her stern, the 261m long Sun Princess would stretch 11m higher than the observation deck of Sydney Tower, the city’s tallest building. * The ship offers more ‘must-have’ balcony cabins (410) – than any other ship ever tailored for Australians. The abundance of balcony cabins makes them more affordable then before. * With 975 staterooms, Sun Princess boasts more accommodation rooms than Australia’s largest hotel, Sydney’s 630-room Four Points by Sheraton in Darling Harbour. * Every seven days, Sun Princess passengers consume 10,000 bottles of wine and champagne, 10,000 cans of soft drink and 2400 bottles of water * Her 2900 passengers and crew is the equivalent of eight fully-laden jumbo jets. * More than 1100 passengers can enjoy dinner at the same time pheeeeeew

RedBubble Stats - At Last!

I wanted to know which of my images were most viewed. / I wanted to know which were least viewed. / I wanted to know if my better selling images were really better selling. / I wanted all the above for my t-shirts too. I couldn’t find out. So I created a small software application that could connect to the RedBubble site and sift through my stats and work it all out. I have called it ‘Red Bubbler Stats’. It works like this. You run the program and then it will cycle through all your art work (or t-shirts) collecting the number of sales, comments, favourtings and views for each. It also works out a sort of percentage calculation based on the number of views for sales, comments and favourtings. In other words, you might have an image that has been viewed 100 times and commented on 10 times. This means it has a 10% hit rate. This can be very useful because a high hit rate means that the image is a ‘hit’ with those who view it. A high view rate with a low hit rate for sales, comments or favourtings indicates that your tags are good but your image is not! This information can be seen on the application’s screen but you can also export it and load it into Excel for additional number crunching. SInce every piece of art (or t-shirt) is displayed in the application you can also jump straight to that piece for editing on RedBubble, or to the page that the item is listed on. That can be very useful too. It’s also possible to sort the collumns displayed so that you can get very quick answers about what has the most or least comments or views etc. I am making it available for any to use, though I make no guarentees it will work for you or anything else. If you are running WindowsXP then you should just be able to download the executable (which is zipped) and run it. If you’re running Vista, I have no idea but you’re welcome to try. As it only comes as an .EXE with no install, it should not cause any harm at least. The instructions probably need to come but essentially, 1. You run RedBubblerStats.exe / 2. You WAIT until the redbubble screen is displayed. You’ll need to log in the first time of course – I don’t see or store your usercode or password. / 3. When the screen has logged you in, press the START button after making any option changes you wish (e.g. include non-visible works, art or t-shirts) / 4. It will cycle through all the pages and build up the statistics tab – flipping you there when done. / 5. Clicking on a header in the STATS tab will sort (alternately) by the column chosen. EXPORT will create a .CSV file that can be loaded into Excel. / 6. Select a line in the STATS tab list and click on Edit Item button to edit the particular piece of art or clothing in the EDITS tab. Click on the Edit Page button to go directly to the page list with that item on it. You can download it below: Zip file : RedBubble Stats V01.00.00.01 BTW. for the nerds, it was written in VB6 because it’s all I have available to me. Version 01.00.00.01 includes a fix whereby items with only 1 sale were not being reported correctly! Doh!
