Fanci Panci Bookmarklets for easy peasy Zazzle Collection Animations on Social Media

There's a new tool out from the NiftyToolZ stable. This one makes it super easy to promote your Zazzle Collections with an animated gif on:

Here's an example of a gif made with it:

To put it here I saved it to my desktop after it was made by the tool and then uploaded to this blog post. I then linked it using the link provided by the tool - which includes a referral id and a tracking code. If you click the image you'll be taken to the collection on Zazzle.

How do I make my own animated Collection gifs?

To start off, you need the bookmarklets, as that's the way the tool works. When clicked on a Zazzle Collections page (your own or someone else's) some details are gathered and then passed on to a tool page, which creates the animation.

It's also where you get the bookmarklets in the first place:

Watch this short 2min video to see just how cool this tool is. It only takes one click to make a pin featuring an animated collection gif!





Creating a Facebook Post

For this, you'll use the Fanci bookmarklet. Here's the steps:

  • Get to a Collection page on Zazzle (front end, not in your store management view)
  • Click the Fanci bookmarklet
  • Wait a few seconds for it to do its stuff
  • Save the animated gif to your desktop
  • Start a new Facebook post
  • Drag and drop the image from your desktop to the post
  • Copy the text you're given (maybe after editing it to add some hashtags)
  • ...and paste it into your post. 
  • Done!

The steps are pretty much identical for a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Here's what you see when you use the Fanci bookmarklet:

That's it.

Even though it's a few extra steps, you gotta agree that's it's really easy peasy to make and create posts of your Zazzle collections with NiftyToolz Fanci-Panci bookmarklets!

Enjoy!
