Redbubble Update: Shortened Product Descriptions

11/12/2020

Blog card for post by JessicaAmber about Redbubble shortening product descriptions
Have you noticed that your carefully-penned Redbubble product descriptions are displaying wrong recently? I have too, and it's not a glitch.
I've noticed over the last few weeks that Redbubble hasn't been displaying my full product descriptions below my products. They are getting truncated severely.
Product description for Weirdo by JessicaAmber, being truncated at 256 characters
Today I did a character count of the text that does show, and it measures out at 256 characters. This was true several designs that I checked.

What does this mean for you as a Redbubble artist? You must fit whatever you want to say about your artwork within 256 characters, or it will be cut off. It seems most RB artists already have descriptions well below this threshold, so that's good. But for anyone who is particularly verbose, like me, we'll have to do a lot of rewriting.

I've got to say, I'm also disappointed in Redbubble for not making a formal statement about this change. It does have a big impact on my store. Now all my long descriptions, on over 100 products, need to be edited because they look ugly, being cut off mid-sentence or mid-word.

What changes to Redbubble have you noticed lately, that have gone undocumented? Leave a comment below and let me know!

Peace, love and sunshine,
Jessica xx

    Jessica Amber blogs as well as making bold digital art. Nice. Lately I'm just crunching the f*** out of Redbubble data.
