REDWOOD CITY,
Calif., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Zazzle, the only
on-demand retail platform to offer billions of
retail quality, one-of-a-kind products shipped
within 24 hours, today announced the launch of
their technology-powered platform and new
business verticals focusing on music,
entertainment and fashion. In addition, the
company announced new features including Model
Realviews, Dark Apparel 2.0, and
Name-Your-Royalty.
The proprietary
technology-powered platform enables Zazzle to
offer revolutionary features currently not
available anywhere else in the market-place.
"These
technologies will dramatically change the game
for online retail," said James Heckman, Chief
Strategy Officer of Zazzle. "The innovation is
remarkable, and Zazzle's platform with the
proprietary tools could allow any retailer or
designer, regardless of size, to conduct
business with similar distribution, inventory
strength, and ability to market, as a major
brand."
The new features
unveiled today further Zazzle's offering of the
most powerful array of customization tools,
enabling users to create an infinite number of
high quality products. Model Realviews, Dark
Apparel 2.0 and Name-Your-Royalty are now
available, providing an even more powerful
experience for consumers, while also enabling
sellers to earn more revenue.
"Since we
started Zazzle, one of our greatest challenges
has been bridging the gap between user-generated
product designs and the real, high-quality
products that we manufacture," said Bobby
Beaver, Co-Founder and Chief Architect of Zazzle.
"Our Model Realviews technology is an
extraordinary technological achievement that
will enable consumers to preview exactly what
user-generated products will look like in real
life.
It will also
enable our sellers to more effectively
merchandise their brands and their products by
choosing models that fit their target
demographics."
Model
Realviews is the first ever application of
motion picture special effect technologies to
e-commerce
-- It
enables users to design apparel online by
uploading images and
designs,
directly upon real models
-- Users can
also sell their designs and instantly
merchandize them by
choosing
from hundreds of models of all ages, sizes, and
demographics
that
appeal to their customer base
--
Engineering effort led by one of the early
architects of Macromedia
Dark Apparel
2.0 is next generation proprietary dark
apparel technology and the first ever on-demand
manufacturing of dark apparel that is better
than screen printing
-- Users can
upload images and designs with millions of
colors, instead of

the planet

Name-Your-Royalty gives sellers more control
than ever over how much money they can make
through selling on Zazzle's on-demand retail
platform
-- Sellers
can easily name their royalty rate on every
product that they
sell,
from 10% to 99% of the retail price, and change
it at anytime
-- Real-time
reporting of sales and royalties online, which
enables more
effective
price testing and merchandising
"Zazzle is all
about developing innovative technology solutions
that empower content creators to make money, and
Name-Your-Royalty will provide a much greater
monetization opportunity for our users, as it
puts the pricing and margin power directly in
their hands," said Jeff Beaver, Co-Founder of
Zazzle. "This is a big step forward toward our
larger mission of democratizing the monetization
of digital content, so that any content creator
-- no matter how big or small -- can generate
real revenue from their creative works."
In celebration
of the new platform launch, Zazzle will be
hosting an invitation only, VIP event tonight in
