| In Like a Lion...
|
 March is soon to be "out like a lamb" and hopefully the weather is lovely wherever in the world you happen to live! But enough talk about the weather - we're more concerned with a big TV event in April: a brand-new season of Doctor Who with a brand new lead actor! If you're already a Who fan this is big news and if you're not - this is the perfect time to see what all the buzz is about :) Now for something that always creates a buzz - AbbyShot gear! There's plenty of equally huge news this month for those ( like yourself) who enjoy adding a bit of adventure to their wardrobe. There's product updates, media coverage, discounts, con news, and a lot more!

| The Kingdom Hoodie Levels Up! |
 The Kingdom Hoodie has been upgraded. It was (of course) an awesome piece of clothing before, but now it's beyond fantasy! We adjusted its fit in certain areas as well as added some small touches to make it stand out against the rest! See new photos of the revamped Kingdom Hoodie on our blog now. There are some great detail shots (never before seen) that will show you why it is THE perfect hoodie! |

If you want to share your views and interests with like-minded people then our Facebook fan page is the place to go, and we're in the process of making it even better!
 We've just started up our first post on our "Facebook Discussion" forum and this feature is something that we will be using a lot more in order to get your views on just about everything! Our first discussion, of course, is on the new Doctor Who season, including premiere dates for those who want to mark their calendars.

AbbyShot Gets Uber-Interviewed!
|
 AbbyShot opened up to Canadian sci-fi blog UberSciFiGeek this past month as we answered some very interesting questions about our Doctor Who Line (such as: who would the AbbyShot designers consider to be their FAVOURITE Doctor?). We also sent them some exclusive shots of the Tenth Doctor's Coat and gave them the inside scoop on what really inspires us. You might be surprised! This is an excellent article and we would love for you to read it: |
| See AbbyShot Gear at Chicago's C2E2 Con in April! |

It's nearly the end of March and convention season is about to kick into high gear! We've talked C2E2, now we want to know:  Which upcoming conventions or events are YOU most excited about? There's plenty of buzz around WonderCon in San Francisco (April 2-4) as they will be hosting the U.S. premiere of the new Doctor Who season, plus lots of planning happening for Browncoats and their "Can't Stop the Serenity" events in June, and of course (one of our favourites) Dragon*Con in early September!

| Customer E-mails - March 2010 Edition |
 Doctor Who has taken over our Inbox! AbbyShot has been flooded with emails from appreciative customers who adore their Tenth Doctor's Coats and Martha Jones Companion Jackets. We love hearing from our customers, especially when it sounds like this: "Friends of mine who aren't Doctor Who fans have complimented me on the way the coat looks, even without getting the reference. Friends who are fans recognize it immediately". This month we focus our 'Customer emails' section on three of these amazing fans! Local girl Linda relays "I've already gotten tons of compliments on the jacket. Thanks again!". Linda, the pleasure is all ours! Our customers not only love how AbbyShot clothing looks, but also how practical it is. "The coat is just the perfect size and is warm and comfortable" says Ikani 'Smiler' from Scotland about his new Tenth Doctor's Coat. |
