Zazzle Rings in Six Years of E-Commerce Success, Celebrates 20 Million Customers by Launching Loyalty Program
Introducing the Zazzle Plus™ Membership Program: One-Year Unlimited Free Shipping on 41 Billion Products
Redwood City, Calif. – July 25, 2011 – While companies typically celebrate with cake and balloons, Zazzle is celebrating its sixth anniversary by launching Zazzle Plus, a customer rewards program that offers one year of unlimited free shipping.
"Zazzle was founded with the vision that the future of commerce is as expansive as the world's imagination – and we developed Zazzle Plus to acknowledge our customers who have helped make this anniversary possible," said Robert Beaver, Zazzle co-founder and CEO.
The Zazzle Plus membership program provides free standard shipping on all products to any U.S. location, or free two-day shipping on most products to most U.S. locations on any order after paying an industry-low one-time annual fee.
In 2005, Robert Beaver and his two sons Jeff and Bobby publicly launched the company after spending several years researching and developing Zazzle's proprietary technology. The founders realized a massive demand for users to design and market their own content, including apparel, posters, office supplies and more. Zazzle's tremendous early stage growth got a further boost when Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sherpalo Ventures' Ram Shriram (early backers of Google) invested $16 million.
Today, millions of individuals, professional artists and major brands use Zazzle to create and offer billions of unique products for customers worldwide. Highlights include:
- 20 million unique visitors
- 86 million products created
- A community of more than one million creators
- 500,000 unique products created each day
- Operating websites in 17 international domains
"We have maintained a maniacal focus on delighting our customers, have built the easiest and most generous incentive program for the design and artist community, and have created a platform for the most discerning of brands like Disney and Warner Bros. to host their content on our site," said Bobby Beaver, Zazzle co-founder and CTO. "Zazzle's community is ambitious and has an extraordinary focus on expression and creativity. At Zazzle, we are committed to redefining commerce, powered by the world's imagination."
