Spring and summer are the seasons of many things… the beach, sports, summer vacation, and of course who could forget weddings. More people get married in June than any other month of the year! In honor of all those preparing to take their vows, Zlio is holding a Wedding Season Contest.

We want you to put together your top wedding shops with everything the bride and groom could ever need. Think about preparations, decorations, and gift ideas for guests. Keep in mind that different cultures have different wedding customs when designing your shop.

Submission Criteria:

  • Store categories should be organized by types of products or a specific theme
  • Subcategories should organize the products and make navigating your shop easy
  • Shop design should correspond to a “wedding” theme
  • Introductions are appreciated
  • Title and slogan count: they should clearly identify your shop and it’s purpose, while still following the guidelines of the “wedding” theme.
  • One boutique submitted to the contest per person
  • Older Zlioshops may be submitted as long as they have been updated within the last 24 hours
  • Zlioshops must abide Zlio’s General Terms and Conditions (be careful: link directories will be disqualified)
  • Contest participants must be US residents
  • Surprise us!

Contest Schedule:

  • June 3: The contest begins. Submit your Zlioshops
  • June 9-16: Voting is open!
  • June 17: The Zlioteam will rendez-vous to choose a winning shop
  • June 18: The winner will be announced on the blog

Say “I do” to the Wedding Season Contest!

UPDATE: The winner of the Wedding Season Contest will win a fabulous 6 megapixel HP Photosmart Digital Camera and Printer!!

Ahhh graduation… The time for high schoolers to leave parents and home behind while college goers join the real working world. After 4 years of such hard work, don’t they all deserve a little something special?

Put together your graduation wish lists with Zlio.com and shop for graduation presents in the world’s largest online emporium!

Laptops, MP3 players, music, or games… find out what your departing students are most longing for and design your Zlioshop to satisfy their wish list needs. Think about adding products for parties and celebrations after the big day, or cell phones and webcams to keep in touch with loved ones.

Here’s an idea: Add a famous commencement quote to your graduation shop for a polished finish!

We’ll even get you started with an inspirational thought about education from one of our founding fathers: An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” ~Benjamin Franklin
