It’s time for the interview of the month with a super successful Zlionaut.  Hanane’s unique and original idea coincides perfectly with current events: USA President 2008 Store. 

Read below to get to know Hanane, her 30+ shops, and her advice for other Zlionauts:      

Tell us about yourself: 

My name is Hanane JO. I am 27 years old, I am French and I’m a radio journalist.      

What made you want to launch a shop, selling clothing and accessories by presidential candidate? 

I had the idea last year when Zlio started allowing us to create American shops, just after the French President Elections. I wanted to launch a unique and original shop. I thought what was happening in the United States and then, Bingo! I thought of doing something about the American elections – I sell all the products of the candidates from Hillary Clinton to John McCain and all the items useful to make this campaign unforgettable.       

How are you planning to promote it?  

I mainly promote the shop via web directories       

Do you have other shops?

Oh yes! I have 30 other shops. I sell everything really : clothes, holidays, cars, make up, food, books even weapons. That is the main strength of zlio’s concept. You can sell everything with no limits without being worried about shipping orders or answering clients. Zlio does that for you.      

What made you think of the concept that you have for your shop?

Everybody in the world is waiting for the USA president elections, that is one of the most important event in the year so I think that is more than important to do a shop that can mark this event.     

Do you get feedback from your customers based on the products you sell?

Yes, sometimes people write to me to ask me if I sell this product or that product.      

Do you have any advice for other Zlionauts?

I think all the zlio shopkeepers have to work on their shops every day. They don’t have to create a shop and then abandon it. They should update it, add products, register it on web directories etc every day…It is a kind of part time job really. It needs patience and creativity.     

What did you think of the Zlio service?

The Zlio team is great! They are fast and efficient, and answer your questions right away.      

What new features would you like to see added on Zlio?

I would like to see more competitions like the one you did with Yoox. The Zlioshop keepers had to create the most beautiful and designed shop. But I think that the judges should  be the ones that organize the competition and not the Zlio users because sometimes people vote without objectivity.      

How do you foresee the future of your ZlioShop?

I think my shop mission will stop after November 2008 when the new president is elected. I am looking forward knowing who will be the new president. Obviously I have my favorite candidate!
