As a Zazzle creator, you want to focus your efforts (and waking hours!) on doing what you do best. That's designing--not bean counting. You don't want to waste hours tracking every sale as it comes in, tallying up your royalties for the month/quarter/year, hunting through your royalty history to find out from where, when, and which product those cancelled orders originated, or performing tedious analyses. 

All SHD users, both Basic and [Premium](https://snugglehamster.com/article/subscribing-for-premium-agency-features), have a wealth of deep-dive sales analytics at their fingertips! 

Just upload your royalty report to get started, and the SHD hamsters will do the tedious number crunching for you!

We've created two more Pinterest-centric social media post templates, named "Portrait: 1 Picture: USA 4th July Modern Frame" and "Portrait: 1 Picture: Modern Frame with Dots". Here are what they look like:

![Image](66931a6b-3899-4705-9c8f-18d84cfeb189)

As always, you can customize the text and colors. We've prepackaged three color variants each to help get you inspired and started:

![Image](fb05d9d6-2e17-41d2-bd80-7b7b3c057067)
![Image](ab7fd9d1-039c-476a-adca-3cee5bd3b28d)

If you're new to SM posts, just pick any product to edit/manage and switch to the "Social media" tab. Then choose "Pinterest" as your source. You'll see them as the two newest (upper leftmost) templates available. Select one (in this case, we're going with the "Portrait: 1 Picture: USA 4th July Modern Frame" social media template).

![Image](08b2a1d7-851c-4b89-aaa1-97c6c96d4a7f)

Select the image you want to feature by dragging it all the way to the left of the list. Then choose a color variant to start with if you want to get some color ideas. Then start customizing the colors:

![Image](5f08dc2f-2815-48cb-a6bc-661541bfda93)

The color picker in Chrome (and some other browsers) should have an eyedropper tool that allows you to choose a color on screen. The easiest way to have a great final product is to select colors directly in your product image that define the feel of it:

So you've incorporated what you believe to be a brilliant and original bon mot (witty turn of phrase) into your Zazzle design, but you don't know if someone else has already registered it as part of their brand or business with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Hard to have that uncertainty hanging over your head, right? No one wants to be on the receiving end of a DMCA takedown notice, or get those dreaded emails from the Zazzle Content Management Team, informing you that your design has been deleted because it contains an element that infringes on the trademark, service mark, or intellectual property of another individual, corporation, or entity. Especially if you've devoted the better part of a day (or days) to creating that design, and it has proven to be particularly profitable to your bottom line.

Enter the SHD Trademark Search & Analysis features, which leverage the power of a newly built SHD database to help you discover "if your original thought hasn't already been bought." These two agency management tools can be found under the newly added Trademarks tab of your "My Account" page.  

The ***Trademark Search feature*** enables you to search through some 4 million trademarks (filed in the USPTO by U.S. and foreign companies) to see if your product texts could be at risk of brand infringement. [Learn more here.](/article/how-to-use-the-trademark-search) 

The ***Trademark Analysis feature*** compares all 4 million trademarks in the SHD database against all of the products in your store(s) at once and lets you explore each match in detail. [Basic](/article/subscribing-for-premium-agency-features) agencies have access to a summary version, while [Premium agencies](/article/subscribing-for-premium-agency-features) enjoy a detailed version.

100 Zazzle Stores Have Found a Home on SHD!

We've Hit a Milestone! 100 Zazzle Stores Have Found a Home on SHD

I've deployed another significant back-end improvement that I've been working all day on. I'm now starting to properly import and store product type definitions from Zazzle. Until now, you've seen product types reflected as "Zazzle blank product" in the editor:

![Image](7656f74c-592f-4f43-8ed8-f11d3c81e832)

Of course, you can click the button on the right to see that page on Zazzle:

![Image](fdeee049-2d2a-4baa-986b-428d8c6889fe)

The improvement is the construction of a master list of all the product types I'll encounter: preview image, singular and plural names, description, etc.

This will soon get used in a variety of ways. Improved displays of your products, better searches, sales reports groupings, etc.

I've spent some time over the past couple days, focusing again on SEO. I'm proud of what I've built and the progress we've made along the way. But I discovered some minor speed bumps that have gotten in the way. I'm deploying yet another fix related to that now. Here are some of the fixes I've made recently that should significantly improve SHD's SEO:

1.) Our master site index had some technically invalid XML that 
was throwing Google off.

2.) Our 301 funnel redirects from not quite right URLs (eg http://www.snugglehamster.com/ to https://snugglehamster.com/ ) were a little flaky in a way Google doesn't like.

3.) Search page was returning some results with "null" in the URLs that were throwing Google off.

Just these three minor changes should make Google a lot happier.
