				 <description><![CDATA[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!&nbsp;
 
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!

				 <title>We survived Zazzmania-6!!!</title>
				 <pubDate>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 20:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[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. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;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.
Adam]]></description>

				 <title>ZazzMania-6 is coming!</title>
				 <pubDate>Wed, 28 May 2008 20:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[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!&nbsp;See you there,Adam&nbsp;]]></description>

				 <title>Zazz wins best online shopping site award</title>
				 <pubDate>Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[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: &quot;We're amazed to have won in such illustrious company. It&rsquo;s really quite incredible, especially as we launched Zazz only 2 years ago!&quot;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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).

&quot;These USB adaptors normally retail for $15 each, so for our birthday we offered incredible value for only 2 cents plus shipping! It&rsquo;s our way to say thank you to all the loyal Zazz supporters&quot;, explained ZTM.

				 <title>Memories of ZAP 08</title>
				 <pubDate>Thu, 13 Mar 2008 22:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[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!

&quot;Zap was a lot of fun, putting faces to the names. I'll be back for the next one&quot; - Nillo
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A signed ZAP '08 T-shirt&nbsp;&nbsp;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. 

&quot;Make an effort to come next year. You will have an absolute ball, and thats just putting faces to names. I love everyone here.&quot; - 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: &quot;Mustang Sally&quot;. 

Karaoke was sung, beers were drunk (many many beers, thank you Mr IVV), speeches were spoken and awards were ... well, handed out.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The ZAP Awards&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;Wonderful, wonderful weekend. Meeting everyone was awesome. Cannot wait for ZAP '09. Bring it on!&quot; - Debbie

&nbsp;&nbsp;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!&nbsp;That's right, my love life is offically over for good. 
&nbsp;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!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Thanks to everyone who came for coming, and sorry to everyone else - you really missed out!Adam]]></description>

				 <title>ZAP 08 RSVP Me!</title>
				 <pubDate>Tue, 19 Feb 2008 21:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[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!]]></description>

				 <title>What a great week!</title>
				 <pubDate>Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[Another huge week for Zazz, and seeing as I'm a bit slack with the blogs now and then, I thought I might try to write a summary for the previous week, just to give a quick overview, and then have a special extra blog for important events.

Has anyone mentioned that ZAP (Zazzapalooza), is now less than 4 weeks away????
The excitement is building, and people are finalising their travel plans, accommodation, and wondering who they're going to meet!
&nbsp;
If you are thinking of coming, then PLEASE email Adam. Not only do we need a total count to make sure we have plenty of food and drink, but we need to send you the special invites so you can come to what is happening! (That's adam@zazz.com.au  - put ZAP08 as your subject line so he can keep track of who is coming, send the invites, etc. Also, let him know what sections of the weekend you are going to attend....)

The list of events are in the ZAP discussion thread.

It was a very exciting week at ZazzHQ. The response to items during the week was also massive but none bigger than our GIANT Thursday sale - featuring the Proton 8GB Flash drives - that really did just go off! Thanks for making it so. The weekend was huge as well, with both the Proton MP3 player and the FM modulators selling like crazy. Unfortunately the monkeys in the warehouse still can't count :(

Why are so many of the products we've had lately so popular? Because you asked for it!!!!! So if there is something you are waiting for, don't keep it a secret :)

So, hope you had a great weekend, having a great week and yet again, I'll see you in the forums!!!!&nbsp;]]></description>

				 <title>Think of the Children!</title>
				 <pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[ Wow, hasn&rsquo;t time flown by????? 
  Since the last blog, we&rsquo;ve seen MissZoe roar into life with a massive amount of support. MissZoe has asked us to say a big thankyou to all you community minded Zazzers our there, you know who you are and we love you! 
  
  ZAP (Zazzapalooza) is now only a few weeks away, and there may even be a head-shave happening during too, if there is enough support of course. I&rsquo;m doing the World&rsquo;s Greatest Shave again this year, and while I was blown away by fellow Zazzers support last year, I&rsquo;m asking for others to join me in shaving or colouring their hair! There is a Zazz group for WGS, (World&rsquo;s Greatest Shave), and I&rsquo;d love to add people to it, so I&rsquo;m not all on my lonesome...C'mon why not? It's for a good cause and all so hop to it! 
  http://www.zazz.com.au/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=1702  
  The Zazz team actually remembered to post the monthly newsletter as well, early in fact, and we&rsquo;ve already had a sneak peak with the ionising lamps that were only half a dozen units away from a sellout when I departed for the night. And how funny were those crazy pictures FredM cheekily inserted into the newsletter right at the last second Pecs and all? Huh huh,wasnt that a hoot? 
  If you get a chance, drop in on the forums and put in a post or 10, as we love seeing new faces around, and every post is earning another 2c for charity! So, go crazy, post many times, and earn a fistful of dollars for a charity today! 
  Until the next mind-numbing instalment, take care, send those kiddies off to school, and enjoy a Zazztastic day!!!

				 <title>Another One-Day website!</title>
				 <pubDate>Thu, 17 Jan 2008 23:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[Announcements usually have a fair bit of fanfare at Zazz.
And this week has been no exception!

The AMAZING news for this week, is the fact that Sofia and Miss Z have created an amazing sister-site for Zazz, called www.misszoe.com.au . The point of difference is that MissZoe is targetting products that are more likely to appeal to women, whereas Zazz is aiming more towards geeks (?).

The sister site is open for registration, and there is a fair bit of chit-chat on there already, much like our beloved Zazz, but the actual sales won't start until 8am, Monday the 21st of January.

(Sister-site is probably stretching it a bit, since there is no direct connection between Zazz and Miss Zoe. But as you all know Sofia from the forumz and we like the concept, Zazz is very happy to support Miss Zoe).

ZTM has had a peek at their first few products, and he says he was very impressed with them: stuff for girls AND some also for guys.... Perfumes, aftershaves, and all the things Zazz doesn't usually offer, such as pet accessories. AND, it won't just be 1 thingy a day!!!!

It has me intrigued, and can't wait for it to open, even though I'm a guy, and the site is mainly for females. If you're a guy, don't let that stop you, because the forums are currently dominated by guys!!!!!

So go have a look, tell us what you think (either here on on MissZoe), and earn those 2c for charity.
Catch you on BOTH forums......

				 <title>Zazz is looking for a Girl Friday</title>
				 <pubDate>Tue, 15 Jan 2008 22:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[Well another year has been and gone. 
A big thanks to Stephen76 for manning the blogs - he has done a stellar job and while I won't be taking over his role I just need to write a few short words. 

Zazz is looking for a Girl Friday! Do you know anyone in Melbourne who'd like to work for Zazz? Maybe you? We would love
nothing better than to give the job to a real Zazzer! Yes you, someone who knows the ins and outs of Zazz, how our crazy little quirky ideas work, someone who has a feel for the forum and shares the love. 

Ok, so maybe I'm the only one who thinks working here is cool but hey there's no dress code, you get to work with ZTM, the mysterious fredm and the rest of the team, and although we work hard we also have a lot of fun in the process. 

We are currently advertising the position on Seek:
http://www.seek.com.au/users/apply/index.ascx?Sequence=11&amp;PageNumber=1&amp;JobID=11520132 

Check it out and drop us a line if you're interested!

In other news, ZTM moved his office. Now he is sitting really really close to me. A little too close for comfort actually. I can't get any work done - it's driving me crazy! 

You think it's easy dealing with a fully grown man coming to work dressed as the Zazz incarnation of Superman?

Anyway enough from me - I'd better get back to it, thanks for taking the time to read my dribble. 

Cheers,
Adam]]></description>

				 <title>Zazzapalooza is coming!</title>
				 <pubDate>Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
				 <description><![CDATA[Where will YOU be on the weekend of the 8th and 9th of March?????

If you've been looking thru the forums, you'll know that ZAP is COMING!!!!!
For those who haven't heard of ZAP, here is the forum thread .....

(ZAP of course stands for Zazzapalooza - Just a chance for Zazzers to get together and generally just have a good time! )

The rundown on events so far.....

Planned so far:
Saturday 8th
&nbsp;1pm BBQ, casual, relax, drinks and food galore!&nbsp;8pm Evening Private Party located on the Dandenong Rd end of Chapel street. Featuring ZTM's band a DJ and of course some Karaoke, speeches, surprises etc...
Sunday 9th
&nbsp;11am Sausage sizzle and French doughnuts!
Any ideas WELCOME...

That's what ZTM has&nbsp; pencilled in, but, we are after more ideas, and more importantly, more members to make the trek south, or north, or east, depending on where you are), and join us in the MASSIVE party!!!!!

Accommodation is being discussed currently, usually in the products thread each day, with some cheap accommodation found, but if YOU know someone cheap and nice for some fellow Zazzers, why not drop in on the forums and tell us!!!!

Any ideas on activities, or accommodation, are most welcome.

As for travel, Tiger Airways currently has $9 flights, so it is probably cheaper to catch a plane if you're not already in Melbourne.
(Tiger Airways has no affiliation with Zazz, and Zazz has no deals/endorsements/pretty much anything to gain other than getting more members to Melbourne for less....)

Personally, I'd fly down Friday arvo, spend the weekend at ZAP, and then fly out again on Monday. The cheap tickets don't usually cover the weekend flights, but I reckon it'd be worth getting down there early, and leaving late....

So, clear your diary/calendar and GET TO ZAP!!!!
Plus, if you are considering going, let us know in the above thread, so we can get an idea on numbers, etc, and let you know what accommodation we've found, or best transport....

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!!!!
I'm a square, (so I've been told), but I'm going anyway!

Until the next time we chat,
Have a fan-fairy-tastic day!!!!]]></description>
