Is there a website like zazzle.com, but for Canada?

Question

I just wanted to know if there were any sites like zazzle.com, but Canadian instead. If you know of any, can you please answer?

Answer 1

The short answer is no. I looked for one about 8 months ago because I was actually putting together a business partnership with Zazzle (for my employer) and was looking to see if there were similar services in Canada, Europe and Asia.

The reality is that services like Zazzle and Cafepress tend to be founded in the US (big population, high disposable income, interest in being creative with photos, etc.). They still serve international markets (Canada, Europe, Asia, etc.), but sometimes the shipping costs and taxes/duties can quickly add up.

I think we'll see companies like Zazzle start to establish in-market operations in International markets this year or next year, but probably in big markets like Europe and Japan.

Unfortunately Canada is usually looked on as either 'too small' of a market or just an extension of the US market that doesn't need a dedicate in-market presence.

And while there isn't anything in Canada exactly like Zazzle there are lots of online stores that do have some photo gifting options like this one - http://www.photolab.ca/Store/Products.as...

BUT this and other Canadian based service don't have the same breadth of products or even the same user experience of Zazzle.

Hope this helps.
