Akatombo Media Merchandise & Dog Helmets
We are very happy to announce the new merchandise section on the Akatombo Media website. When you click on the merchandise tab you will be directed to the Dog Helmets page and I’ll get to that later, but first I’d like to quickly point out the other page in the merchandise section. In the sub-menu for the Merchandise section you’ll see a link for Akatombo Products. When you click this link you’ll be directed to our Cafe Press store with some high-quality (I know because I gave some of them to my family as Christmas presents, and bought some for myself) products with the Akatombo Media logo on them. I was particularly impressed with the baseball jersey, the stein, and the large mug
Now on to the dog helmets:
A while back MJ, a fabulous designer who we frequently collaborate with, from SouZouZone posted on her weblog about some dog helmets she had seen in a motorcycle shop. A number of people from outside of Japan commented on her post asking where they could get these helmets. Having been in situations, on both sides of the ocean, of not being able to get things that I really wanted because they were only sold in the other country; I decided that I would try to make an agreement with the manufacturing company and begin selling these helmets. Having gotten in touch with the company and made the necessary arrangements, we are now able to bring motorcycle helmets for animals to you, wherever you are!
These helmets are very cool, and we plan to put up some pictures of our customers’ dogs wearing these helmets soon. We are also in the process of negotiating to make other very neat products for your dog available as well. The other people at Akatombo Media were initially skeptical about putting these helmets up for sale, but having seen the enthusiasm of our customers all doubt has vanished! These helmets are great and we are really happy to be able to bring them to you! If you are interested in these helmets please visit our dog helmet shop page and if you know anyone else who is interested, please direct them to http://www.akatombo.com/dog/.
We look forward to filling your order!
