What inspired you to start your business?
We were inspired by the thousands of couples who get married after having lived together and who don’t just want gifts for their home; by those who are uncomfortable asking for cash as a wedding gift; by people who wanted to use their wedding gifts to pay for their honeymoon and by the increasingly international lives that we lead. We wanted a service that could be accessed from anywhere, where couples could ask for anything (and not have to worry about transporting it to their place of residence) and where guests could have a safe and easy way of contributing to a couple’s dreams in their language of choice.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Being constantly inspired by the creativity of our couples, working with guests and couples who are pleased to have found our service, sharing news of the latest technical developments on the site with our users and seeing someone’s wedding planning go smoothly thanks to their use of Zankyou.
What has been the best moment of your business?
There have been so many great moments that it’s difficult to bring it all down to one. We’re constantly developing the site to make it better, so it’s non-stop change at Zankyou. The more people get to know us, the more they demand from the site so the best moments are when we launch a new functionality, like our honeymoon map for the gift list or the table planning tool, which we know our users are going to love!
What are your plans for the future?
Zankyou is an international company so we’re constantly developing on that side, with launches into new markets, making it all a very exciting time. On a UK level, our plans are to make Zankyou better known. We want couples in the UK to find in Zankyou the best online wedding list service, thanks to our excellent tools and layout, the ease of use of the service, our transparency in terms of rates and our efficient customer services.
Can you give us a ‘Typical day in the life of….’?
There is no such thing at Zankyou! Between writing for our blog, Zk Magazine, attending to clients and working on promoting Zankyou, most days are chock-a-block. Our development team is constantly working to ensure Zankyou works smoothly, which includes new developments and responding to client feedback about functionality, while the client and content team are constantly helping customers out and answering any questions as well as finding out the latest news in the world of wedding, to help you plan your day!
