Your Wish Is Our Command!
| |
 You asked for it, we made it happen! One thing which AbbyShot fans have been requesting is a way to purchase AbbyShot products more easily. Well, we have put together an easy, no hassle, no interest, payment plan which we fondly call Abby-Layaway.
 Now you can gather $100.00 or more of amazing AbbyShot products, create an account and begin using your Abby-Layaway plan. The plan divides your payments into four sections which are easily accessed through your account profile. Each payment is due every 30 days. That makes AbbyShot products four steps easier to acquire!

Dante's Coat Causes Vibration All Over the World!
|  Can you feel it?!! We have had all sorts of feedback from customers who waited for their much desired Dante's Coat.
Michael wrote: "This is it!...It is flawless...The color is perfect. The detail is perfect. The sleeves, the length, the weight, buttons, zippers, are all perfect. I am 5'7", 145lbs, so I ordered a Small set size. When I put the coat on for the first time, it felt very familiar. It rested softly on my shoulders. The sleeves ended where my wrists meets my hands. The sides gently hugged my torso. The bottom of the coat ended at my ankles. The coat looks rugged and heavy, but surprisingly it's soft and very light. This is my fourth purchase from AbbyShot and it's easily the best yet. The craftsmanship that went into this design is unrivaled. There is no better Dante coat on the market, period. I've always known AbbyShot to be at the top of the artistic ladder, and Dante's coat proves once again that this company cannot be beat...Bravo! Thank you very much for making the coat of one of my favorite characters a reality. Now, if you don't mind, I have some devils to hunt." Now we're looking forward to your fan photos!

Code Slinger / Web Developer Needed!

 Does the idea of code keep you awake at night? Do you go to sleep deciphering various encryptions? Are you the type of person who thinks outside the box, but can still communicate your ideas in a language everyone can understand?
If so, then you may be the person we're looking for! There is always a need for projects both big and small which would benefit from your professional touch. Send us your resume, with examples of your work to: excitingopportunity@abbyshot.com and be sure to put Web Developer in the subject line.

Birth By Fire, AbbyShot Welcomes Its Newest Team Player!
|
 Approximately four weeks ago, Danny had no idea what a TARDIS was. In fact, he didn't even know what a Comic-Con or a Doctor Who was. He had been hired to work within the Export Development profile for AbbyShot Clothiers and within a few hours he was told that he would be attending Comic-Con. His response....."What is a Comic-Con?"
Well, now he knows! Danny tells us: " I know what a TARDIS is, who Doctor Who, Amy Pond, River Song and Captain Jack are, plus so very much more! My world has been opened to now include the world of Sci-fi. Comic-Con and I are intimately aquainted with one another. I walked the floors, stood in line ups, met the stars and even asked a question to the hotter than hot Captain Jack Harkness."
"My experience at the Con taught me that a beautful new world was about to unfold before me--a world where fans are passionate, concise and accepting. It is important for me to understand this, as I have been told that for AbbyShot, it is all about the fans. We design clothes that our fans ask us to design. We too are passionate, precise and proud of what we do."
"With this new found knowledge comes new found energy and I am excited that while I grow in this role, I will also grow as a fan. Thank you Comic-Con!"
