Announcing Base Price Increase and New Service Plan Option

Apparel Base Price increases

Beginning July 21, 2011 CafePress will implement Base Price increases to apparel products. Given the rising cost of goods, it was determined that a modest price increase was a necessary business decision.

We came to this conclusion only after carefully considering the impact to our members. No action is required, as the price adjustments will automatically be added to products. You will retain your current mark-up.

New Service Plan Option for Premium Shops

To meet the changing needs of the CafePress community, we’ve also added a new service plan option for Premium Shops. Starting July 21 you can either choose to pre-pay for monthly Premium Shop fees (the current available option), or choose the new no up-front fees plan.

The new no up-front fees plan means you no longer have to pay for Premium Shops unless you earn a commission. You can now open more Premium Shops without worrying about the cost. Here’s how the new service plan option works:
Rather than a $6.95 monthly fee, members will be charged 10% of their monthly royalty (with a maximum monthly payment of $10).
Note that this fee is 10% of the royalty, NOT 10% of sales.
Example: if you earned a $30 royalty in April, we’ll deduct 10% ($3.00) and mail you a check for $27.00. But if you earned $300 in royalties, we would deduct only the $10 maximum – not the full 10% (which would be $30).
Or, if you have a valid credit card on file, you are on the pre-pay plan and this new service plan will not affect you. Your fees will remain the same at the standard rate ($6.95 a month, $18.45 for 3 months, $34.95 for 6 months or $59.95 for 1 year).

Thanks again for your support as a CafePress member. We’ll keep you posted as we find new ways to enhance your selling experience. If you have any questions, please contact customer service by email or call (877) 809-1659.

Best regards,

CafePress Team

Flip Camcorder   

Flip Camcorder

Cisco Systems is giving their competitors a run for their money with another step towards becoming a major player in the consumer electronics niche. On Thursday, Cisco Systems announced that it has acquired Pure Digital Technologies for $590 million in stock and an additional $15 million in incentives to Pure Digital employees for retention purposes. 

Pure Digital is well known for the Flip mini camcorder that it introduced in 2007. The camcorder has been a huge hit with consumers because of its affordability,  tiny size and its ease in uploading videos to the internet through a built-in USB connection.

In 2008, Pure Digital and CafePress teamed up in a promotional effort which allowed CafePress shopkeepers to create custom designs for the Flip and offer them to customers in their shop. As of now, I don’t forsee a change in that agreement and suspect that CafePress shopkeepers will be allowed to continue with this endeavor.

In addition to Brian, I’m excited to see several of my minions there: RPF, JenL, Becky, Cassie and Nifty Galoot. Congratulations gang! 

Here’s the complete announcement from Angela:

Hi Shopkeepers,

Earlier this month we put out a call to the Community to find Shopkeepers interested in being a part of the CafePressVoice team. We got a lot of interest, and liked all the applicants but only had 9 spots on the team. It was a difficult task to pick just 9 Shopkeepers. During our selection, we not only considered someone’s qualifications but wanted to build a well rounded team made up of diverse Shopkeepers in varying views and backgrounds.

We hope you’re pleased with the new CafePressVoice representatives as there are some recognizable “faces” or “names” from the Community. They are:

* Audrie Quick (Shop Management)
* Sharon Hoffmann (Shop Management)
* Cassie Schilliger (Shop Management)
* Jennifer Funderburk (Shop Management)
* Sabrina Dalman (Merchandise)
* Jennifer Larkin (Merchandise)
* Jeanena Spencer (Merchandise)
* Kent Lorentzen (Quality)
* Rebecca Fyfe (Quality)

We’re very happy with the new CafePressVoice representatives selected to the team and look forward to working with them!

Angela
“Your” Community Advocate

I went straight to CafePress and asked for a comment. Their reaction?

Huh? Whuzzat?

Maybe TechCrunch, along with several other bloggers, got it wrong.

According to CafePress spokesman Marc Cowlin: “The story, as reported by TechCrunch, is incorrect. CafePress did not raise any venture capital, nor have we received funding from Sequoia Capital since our series B funding in 2005. We have been in contact with TechCrunch and they have since posted an update to the original story.”

The following Announcement was made by CafePress:

We will be making changes to the Bulk Pricing Service in the next few weeks. The current Bulk Pricing Service allows Shopkeepers to purchase 15 or more of the same product at a discount from their own shop. With the new Bulk Pricing Service, the changes are:

* All apparel, including Dark Apparel, Value T-Shirts, and InfiniStitch™ apparel will now qualify for bulk discount. This has been a long-standing Shopkeeper request.
* Due to changes in supplier pricing, we are now able to offer better discounts on about half of the items but unfortunately will be raising the bulk prices on some others.
* To offer Shopkeepers more flexibility, we’ve lowered the threshold by beginning the bulk discount at only six apparel products.
* For the first time we will be offering progressively steeper discounts at higher quantities, up to a quantity of 96.

This change will happen in time for Holiday shopping! We’ll let you know once the Bulk Pricing Service changes have been implemented. A new pricing chart will be updated at the time of announcement.
