Hey Zazzers,
It's been a while hasn't it?
We have been toiling away, certainly not forgetting about blogs, but I've been just being so inundated with orders, emails and the rest of it, that the blog has constantly been pushed back day after day. Finally the bosses had enough, so I'm putting pen to paper.
Anyway, last week was a huge week at Zazz with my new all-time favourite product: the Puchi Puchi keyring! I was a bit nervous about it, because I had suggested it, but it went great and sold like crazy. Lots of fun on the day in the forums as well, with some really cool AV's doing the rounds. Personally I love my Puchi Puchi (evidently so does every one else), and I even gave mine away over the weekend to a friend who just could not face putting it down. I want my Puchi Puchi back! 
On other fronts, I am glad to say that we are finally getting over Zazzmania (and yes, it has taken this long). Our warehouse is starting to actually resemble what it is meant to look like, rather than a bomb site!
On that note here are a couple of random games that I found rather entertaining. Enjoy!

Till next time,

What an amazing twenty four hours Zazzmania was. I want to take this time to thank each and every one of you who made it possible. From our regulars whom we love dearly, to all the newbies who joined in on the festivities, right down to the Zazzers who were around and purchasing on the day but just lurking in the background.
Thank you for being there and making it all possible. In the end we are nothing without all of you, so give yourselves a huge pat on the back, you made it all possible! A huge thank you also must go to ZTM for making sure everything ran seamlessly throughout the day and night and pretty much not sleeping for a full 24 hours. ZTM, you da man!
I don't know about you guys but I really enjoy the change of pace of getting my hands dirty and working physically rather than the usual mentally draining work I do.
All this week we have been getting stuck into the Zazzmania packing (there is loads of it) and it has been crazy to say the least. You will have to excuse us for any small delays in orders made from this week and for any Zazzmania items that do not get shipped till later on this week as we are just so inundated with packing, it's insane! The warehouse actually looks somewhat like a bomb went off, and it ain't a pretty site let me tell you!
Alright that's it from me, enough talk we've still got more Zazzmania items to pack! 
And if you missed out on Zazzmania and don't know what I'm talking about - well, I guess you will just have to wait quite a few more months until we do it all over again!
Speak to you all soon.

Zazzmania is coming! Zazzmania-6, that is! That's the rumour going round the office anyway. I keep trying to ignore it hoping it will go away but alas it's not working.
See, to be honest, Zazzmania is not much fun for me or the warehouse team. I mean, really it just means a whole lot more packing than normal and a whole lot of stuff being sold at stupidly low prices. When I say stupid, I mean really really stupid. We are literally throwing crap out the door at a loss - free shipping and all!
Zazzmania, to those who have not experienced it yet is a special day where Zazz changes format slightly and rather than selling one thing a day we sell many things. The time allocated per thingy varies between 15 - 20 mins unless sold out - in which case there will be a 4 minute break for you to catch your breath until the next thingy comes up.
Usually very limited numbers of products are available, so you may have only seconds to get your order in, or it may pass through without selling out (fat chance). You'd better have your cards ready, because if you duck out to grab it, chances are it'll be gone! Either way, the next item is only minutes away.
The items for Zazzmania are going to be a healthy mix of previously unsold items (most of which are at drastically reduced prices) and new items you've never seen on Zazz before.
As always, fun and frivolity abound as Zazz members host competitions all day and night long.
ZazzMania begins on Friday the 30th of May be there before midnight and you will be in for a surprise and a bit of Pre-Zazzmania fun!
So fire up those credit cards. Head down to your local store. Stock up on your favourite coffee blend and most importantly make sure you have a comfy chair and PC that is willing to go the full 24 hours of festivities that will be Zazzmania the 6th!
See you there,
Adam
It gives us great pleasure to advise that Zazz has won the coveted NetGuide Best Online Shopping Site of the Year for 2007.
The official results for the Online Shopping Site award will be published in the April 2008 issue of NetGuide magazine. The finalists were selected by readers of NetGuide Magazine. The other finalists in the shopping category were dealsdirect.com.au, oo.com.au, shoppingsquare.com.au and ebay.com.au.
The mysterious FredM commented: "We're amazed to have won in such illustrious company. It’s really quite incredible, especially as we launched Zazz only 2 years ago!"
Of course, members know only too well that Zazz celebrated its 2nd birthday on Monday March 24 by offering 2 USB power adaptors for only 2 cents per pack (plus shipping).
"These USB adaptors normally retail for $15 each, so for our birthday we offered incredible value for only 2 cents plus shipping! It’s our way to say thank you to all the loyal Zazz supporters", explained ZTM.
Ok, so this blog is like a whole 3 days late but what can I say, we have just all been way too hung over to do anything after the festivities of Zazzapalooza 2008.
And what a weekend it was!
"Zap was a lot of fun, putting faces to the names. I'll be back for the next one" - Nillo

It started with a good old fashioned BBQ and all went according to plan right down to running out of beer and being bowled for 3 golden ducks in a row.
"Make an effort to come next year. You will have an absolute ball, and thats just putting faces to names. I love everyone here." - Wombat
From there it was onto the Lizard Lounge where Zazz's very first postie led the band. Then ZTM got up on stage and belted out what I'm starting to wonder might be the only song the man can sing: "Mustang Sally".
Karaoke was sung, beers were drunk (many many beers, thank you Mr IVV), speeches were spoken and awards were ... well, handed out.
The ZAP Awards
"Wonderful, wonderful weekend. Meeting everyone was awesome. Cannot wait for ZAP '09. Bring it on!" - Debbie
Then it all turned green. Yep, that's right: somehow I got coaxed into putting on the Pimp suit again! Blame it on the beers, blame it on Rav (or even ZombieJoe). Either way I'm now once again plastered all over Zazz, pimping it up in the most horrid green suit ever!
That's right, my love life is offically over for good. All in all, it was an awesome night and one we can't wait to do all over again next year! ZAP 09, watch out!

Thanks to everyone who came for coming, and sorry to everyone else - you really missed out!
Adam
Ok, you know what time it is!
You don't?
Well, you soooo should know what's going on by now, I'm talking about ZAP of course!
ZAP or Zazzapalooza is the huge Zazz party that is coming up. We want you to all attend but so far have only received a largish handful of RSVPs.
Now don't get me wrong - the people who have emailed me are awesome and quite frankly will probably make ZAP the best day of the year, but if you want to be there you need to send me confirmation NOW so we can get food,drinks, invites sorted.
Remember - no email, no tickee!
This invite to attend ZAP is extended to any Zazzer who reads this blog. So if you think meeting all the Zazzians, having a little sneak peek at some future Zazz items and a big drink up sounds like your kinda thing, please let me know ASAP!
You can do this via email to adam@zazz.com.au - please put ZAP08 in the subject title and also let me know what you would like to attend. Arvo BBQ, Night Party and/or Recovery Breakky!
Alrighty, that's it from me - time to hit the packing!
