Shoppers find goods well recommended

When the 18th century economist Adam Smith described Britain as a “nation of shopkeepers”, he had bricks-and-mortar premises in mind. Yet a new online service enabling users to set up their own internet shop in five minutes without having to stock any merchandise could make his claim a virtual reality. Zlio.com, a French start-up, is offering its service in the UK on Monday, with a launch in Germany to follow in February…

Valentines Day is only a few weeks away and our Zlio Team has gathered some helpful tips for you:

1- If you haven’t planned what products you would like to add to your shop for Valentines Day, this would be the best time to do so. Several of our merchants have added great products for this special occasion. So browse through our merchants list and see what’s being offered.

2- For all our new shopkeepers, this could be a great opportunity for you to start a new niche shop, and dedicate it to Valentines Day, selling all heart warming products and products that show that you care.

3- Our last tip to our shopkeepers is that if you are planning to send someone a gift or flowers, please make sure that you plan in the shipping time as well, so that your packages are delivered on time.

Let us know how your Valentines Day experience turns out!

XoXo

I wanted to share with you a great story about one of our Zlio members.
I recently got a thank you e-mail from a stay at home mom, who was recently introduced to Zlio.com. In the email she stated that she loves raising her three children but feels like she could do more while spending her time at home.

She heard about Zlio.com from a friend, whom had already opened several shops. In her email she thanked us for coming up with an idea for people that are in her situation, who feel like they want to do something even though they can’t go to their regular job. She has opened two shops to date and they are both going very well.
She says that the best part about it all is that she feels like she is contributing to her family, with the money that she is making :) !

Now that’s an all Zlio story!

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. These styles define how to display HTML elements. These styles are normally stored in Style Sheets.

With the help of CSS, you can define your web site’s background image, adjust colors, and format your fonts and more. However, you have to know what HTML tag you are formatting in your site, in order to get the right effect. The result of CSS is something very fresh and exciting for your shop!

Would you like to know more about CSS and Style Sheets in general, please visit W3Schools.com!
