Society6: Art, Decor & More

I feel like there is a lot of beautiful art and there’s definitely a niche for everyone. The system is good for profiling if you decide to promote images to design or get decorative ideas across. The fact that a percentage of the proceeds are transferred to artists is a plus. The only thing I would recommend is to 1) streamline the promoting process by being able to put the artwork you like in categories or collections (kind of just a slightly more detailed filing system as opposed to the scrolling process you have now on the promoted pages), and 2) make it so that artists can view likes/followers regarding their own art pieces in a notifications tab with the user’s profile visible immediately versus having to open each picture to check for new admirers. I think that would make it so artists would be more likely to explore the pages of their admirers, which is more kinship/community ergo more support and purchases... Maybe eventually there will be a development for posting artwork on the app as well. Excellent work overall!

The app is fair, but could be much better. When I search for items and am making decisions, I put them in my cart to compare. Most sites allow you to click on the item that’s IN the cart, and it will take you back to that item - but not the Society6 app. Nope! You can’t enlarge it or click back on it to edit or see it again. It’s an absolute waste of time to have to go search for something again, then add it a second time to your cart in a different size, and THEN return to the cart to remove one of them. I’ve literally given up and NOT purchased items quite a number of times, simply because this ability to click on what’s in the cart and return to that item isn’t an option. To edit the cart, there are two options - move something to wish list or remove it, but you can’t change a size or quantity. That’s just ridiculous. 👎👎👎 I also get super annoyed that I can’t just click on an artist’s name then be taken right to their design page. The search options are just weird in comparison to other sites. S6 has some of the best quality items and finest artists anywhere. Why not make the site/app easier to navigate? Other online shops have these capabilities, so I know it can be done, so why don’t you do it S6? There are so many purchases I’ve gotten too annoyed and not made. Hmmmm... easier to use site = more sales. Pretty simple concept.

response required

I am relatively new to Society6 and selling my art there; I downloaded the app a few weeks ago. The majority of the time that I’ve had it, something hasn’t worked. Comments won’t load (which is especially tricky for sellers who want to respond to comments and bump up the visibility of their art) For days now when I click on the comment bubble when it says I have comments I click to read them and respond and get a “there was a problem loading comments for this post” error message. I have tried logging out and back in, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and neither have worked. Activity stalls for DAYS. I would think I had no new activity but when I’d look on the full site, I did have new activity, it just wasn’t registering on the app. Sales don’t update or show up in the Activity feed. I really like the idea of Society6, I’ve made a few sales already and was excited about expanding beyond another platform I had previously been using to sell my photography and art. But this experience has so far been pretty frustrating as a seller. The app should be much more user friendly and far less buggy. Update: now pretty much nothing is working with the app. When I go to my profile to check my sales report I get this message:An error occurred trying to load your sales period summary. Please try again later. This has been happening for days. And again I’ve tried multiple things and none have worked. Very very frustrating.

Love the merchandise. The throw blankets are wonderful, soft and warm. They are high quality. I’ve also purchased the floor pillows and throw pillow. The quality is awesome every product purchased is above and beyond my expectation. The app itself doesn’t seem to work on my iPhone, I’ve always ended up ordering from the website. I do wish it was easier to find the art I’m looking for it seems to be the hardest part when ordering. If I’m looking for a floral design there’s a lot of abstract art I have to delve through in order to find it. Please make it easier to sort especially when looking for items for my grandchildren I would like to find castles and fairies easily instead of delving through all the grown up abstract art first. The sort option needs a lot of work. I found a beautiful cascade of blue flowers one day but was to busy to order and didn’t know how to heart it thus it was lost and no matter what search criteria I put in I’ve never found it again. I truly wanted this but it’s lost and that’s sad.

i ordered a phone case from society 6, i was very pleased with the discount i got, fast shipping, and package tracking. however, with the case i was disappointed because the color of the case was more vibrant in the picture (crazy, i know.) but i had ordered a mainly red phone case, when i got the case instead of a dull and muted red, i got a bright and in your face red. this could be good for some, but i sadly do not want a tomato red phone case. the print is very good on the phone, however if you ordered the tough phone case like i did, the bottom button cuttouts/lineouts are not flush. it’s not huge but it bothered me so much that i couldn’t keep the phone case with the amount of money i spent on it. even though i didn’t like the case, the service from the website is wonderful. i submitted a refund request, and they had no questions and issued my refund, which will be returned in 3-5 days. i’m very happy with their customer service. i will order from them again though!! not a phone case, but maybe an art print or a throw blanket. it’s wonderful how a portion of the proceeds goes to the artist of the work, and i greatly support their idea. case 6/10, service 10/10. i also has no problem with the app, it worked perfectly fine for me.
