Zazzle's Community Grows with Customized Stamps
Palo Alto, CA - September 6, 2005 - Zazzle, (www.zazzle.com/stamps), the Internet's leading customized products marketplace, today announced that, for the first time ever, its members can publicly share and sell their unique Zazzle stamp creations. These members can promote their customized stamps to friends, family and other groups, as well as to a worldwide audience in Zazzle's user-created marketplace. At launch, stamp sellers encompass a broad community: leading digital artists, painters and cartoonists showcasing their artwork, individuals and enthusiasts celebrating special events and hobbies, and charitable organizations raising awareness and funds for their cause.
The Cure Autism Now Foundation is an early example of success. The organization customized stamps with art created by an autistic individual, and sold the stamps for fundraising purposes. Jeffrey Jerome, Donation Manager for Cure Autism Now explained, "Our first order of Zazzle stamps sold within 10 minutes, with larger subsequent orders selling within 24 hours. This is a nice way for individuals to show their support with every letter they mail."
"Zazzle has given me the opportunity to show my work to millions of consumers. Unique, personalized products are created by combining someone's ideas and my art," said Leticia Plate, illustrator. "To be able to create art for stamps is an exciting new opportunity. I've always dreamed of being able to do something like this."
