The following are the most popular bumper sticker designs sold by Irregular Times during the month of May 2010:

Americans Against Offshore Oil Drilling Bumper Sticker
The American Flag: Not A Religious Symbol Bumper Sticker
Pro-Bicycle Share the Road Bumpersticker
O: The President Bumper Sticker
Obama in many colors bumper sticker
Farmers for Peace bumper sticker
Sarah Palin is an Idiot bumper sticker
Welcome, Immigrants! America is Glad to Have You bumper sticker
Welcome to America, Now Speak Navajo bumper sticker
Arizona Against SB 1070 bumper sticker

Notable for this month is the relative lack of sales for Barack Obama themed items. These were all the rage back in 2006, 2007, 2008 and even 2009. Now Barack Obama takes a back seat to current events such as the passage of immigrant-unfriendly SB 1070 in Arizona or the oil spill of BP’s Deepwater Horizons (making for Irregular Times’ most popular design of May 2010).

As progressively minded political people, we’re pleased to find that people are coming across the messages we believe in. As purveyors of progressive political bumper stickers, our income is dependent upon people actually buying those stickers. The difference between someone viewing a bumper sticker and someone buying a bumper sticker is the difference between a message that draws attention and a message that someone decides they want to share. Looking at a bumper sticker is an indication of curiosity; buying a bumper sticker is an act of commitment.

On the left you’ll see the ten most often viewed bumper stickers from our progressive collection in the past week; on the right you’ll see the ten most often bought bumper stickers from the same collection from the same time period.

As you can see, these lists do not have a great deal of overlap. The bumper stickers that are present on both lists represent a current, high-stakes political topic: that of health care reform. Some bumper stickers people come across (FOX News, Voldemort) may stem from searches by people looking for information, not necessarily for stickers. Other bumper stickers people buy (pro-Obama, anti-war, anti-terror, anti-Guantanamo, Maine Marriage “No on 1″) reflect a high conversion rate: not too many people are looking for these messages right now, but the people who are looking for them are committed to sharing their message.

The Print On Demand (POD) bumper sticker makers at Zazzle make a useful tool available to shopkeepers: statistics in rank order displaying the most-often bumper stickers viewed within a time period. The frequency of recent bumpersticker views on our Zazzle webshop (which sticks solely to bumper stickers with liberal messages on them) is an indicator of liberal sentiment about social and political causes of the day. What are these causes, and how do liberals orient themselves toward them?

The following are the ten most viewed liberal bumper stickers (not including our presidential election bumper stickers, which for purposes of clarity we rank separately) on our Zazzle webshop for the week of April 22-29, 2008:

1. Bitter: Ask Me Why

2. Customizable Bumper Sticker Against Right-Wing Congressional Kooks

3. Custom Candidate for Congress Bumper Sticker (Blue and Red background)

4. Customizable Congressional Campaign Bumper Sticker (Blue Background with Red Stars)

5. Support the Peace, Say No to War

6. Mark Twain Quote: “Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.”

7. Ben Franklin Quote: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

8. Is the Earth Getting Hot, Or Is It Just Me?

9. Fight Global Warming: Get On Your Bike!

10. Veterans Against the War

These messages are what liberals are looking for now. These searches capture the frequency of the liberal wavelength that’s resonating outside the presidential campaigns right now. Ask yourself: do they reflect what’s happening inside the presidential campaign?
