This ZlioShop is dedicated to this very interesting and very topical theme: saving energy and money. Let’s meet up with Thibaut Aube, its proud owner.
Could you introduce yourself ?
I’m 25 years old and I’m personnally and professionnally involved in sustainability. I work for a non-profit organization which promotes Fair Trade and Sustainable Development. As a consumer, I try to buy only things I really need and to purchase the ones which respect people and the planet most.

What made you want to launch a shop about saving energy ?
I thought it could be interesting for people looking for products respecting environment, saving energy and money, to have all this on the same website. US consumers are more and more concerned with energy saving, because of the cost of energy and because of global warming. There are so many things to do to save both energy and money ! My Zlioshop gives some ideas.

How are you planning to promote it ?
I already submitted “Saving Energy and Money” to webdirectories. Now I’m discussing with other websites specialized on sustainability and energy saving in order to be listed in.

Do you have other shops ?
I have another Zlioshop which deals with Fair Trade and organic products. I linked both Zlioshops, because people interested in saving energy might be interested in buying these products.

What did you think of the Zlio service?
It’s simple, quick and effective. Furthermore, Zlio’s customer service answers in a couple of days at any question. That’s why I’m very confident in Zlio’s future. Besides, the ranking on search engines is great, which is a good point !


What new features would you like to see added on Zlio ?
I’m very impatient to have the possibility to create subcategories. It will make our Zlioshops lighter. Besides, it would be great if I could see directly in the search engine results products which are still in my Zlioshop.

How do you foresee the future of your ZlioShop ?

First I’ll keep developing it. I’m adding every day new energy efficient products : household appliances, home electronics, heating and cooling, lighting, office equipment, renewable energies equipment… Then I foresee to customize my Zlioshop with new templates, with the help of friends of mine.

We provide a selection of templates to choose from. However, if you wish to customize your ZlioShop even more, you can try modifying CSS with this tutorial.

Some Zlio members already started expressing their creativity through CSS, the results are awesome!

Some examples:
