Max Jacket on BBC News!
|
 AbbyShot received a VERY cool e-mail a little while ago from a customer who proves that AbbyShot clothing really does get you noticed!
With the return of the Max Jacket, this seemed like the perfect time to show you this awesome link. Here's Andrzej:
Hi AbbyShot,
I often enjoy reading emails from customers in your newsletter. Recently I was spotted wearing
the Mad Max jacket at a gig by a BBC reporter, and thought that maybe newsletter readers
would be interested in seeing how the Mad Max jacket can get you in the news:

I'm at 00:23.

Awesome shot of the Max Jacket, and it's in an awesome news story to boot. The musician featured in this piece, Matthew Applegate (a.k.a. Pixelh8), creates amazing music from old IBM computers, even throwing in a 19th century adding machine for extra rhythm! Now this is a fun way to recycle. ;)
Thanks so much Andrzej for the heads-up on this cool link! |
New Website Feature: Map Your 'Shot!
|
The AbbyShot website is getting even more interactive - and only you can take this brand new website feature to its full potential! Curious yet?
 An AbbyShot World Map has JUST been released on our site (a newer version of the "Cool Pics" section), where you can post your coolest photo in your own AbbyShot garment, tagged to your own city - wherever you are in the world!
We're calling it:
"Map Your 'Shot!"
(Because "Where in the World is AbbyShot Sandiego?" was too long ;)
The Google map is SUPER easy to use: click (or search for) where you are in the world, use our simple photo uploader to find your photo and write your own witty caption! We'll approve the photo and caption within 24 hours and then you'll be the newest celebrity on the AbbyShot Map!
Then of course you must tell your friends, family, neighbours, and complete strangers to check out your photo ;)
AbbyShot customers are like our family, so it's the perfect way to bring everyone together!
Be one of the FIRST to stake your claim on the AbbyShot Map:

Now we want to see your AbbyShot garment in its full convention glory:
Your coolest con pic could net you a 100% free Kingdom Hoodie!
That's right, send in your coolest photo of you wearing AbbyShot clothing at a convention (either by e-mail "info[at]abbyshot.com" or through our new Map Your 'Shot! feature) and you could be the lucky winner!
