This is what I do.


Can't get enough?  Call your outfitter back for more or venture on your own on our website.  (Don't worry, you can still call your outfitter anytime if need).
-A:  I want customers directed to website first before outfitters.-

Can't get enough?  Come back for more on our website Hans style...Solo.  Or schedule an appointment with your outfitter for that five star service we're known for.
-A:  Good idea, but too cute; needs to be more manly.-

Can't get enough?  Schedule an appointment with your outfitter for more...or make your own decisions.  Like a man. 
-A:  I like “like a man,” but currently maintaining that men don’t like to shop, so it’s contradicting.- 

Can't get enough?   Head on over and show us some love--we'll give you a bang for your buck.  Remember, it always fits.  Schedule an appointment with your outfitter if you need...pointers. 
-A:  ...too much.-

[There's more.  So much more.  But I'll refrain from posting so it's less obvious how hard I failed.]

And after a slew of rejections the entire day from a man whom I will refer to as Mr. New York (as he is from the promised land), I'm left with sleepy eyes, the beginnings of a headache, a list of progressively absurd copy--and well, a new friend who has recently joined our ranks as an intern.  He appears to know the lyrics to every song in the world, obscure and mainstream.   With his constant headbanging, fist thumping, face scrunching, and lip syncing superstar ways, he managed to save my afternoon from being entirely wasted.

On the bright side, they feed their interns very well. 


Which is so much more than I deserve.  I'm starting to question my abilities as a copywriter...at least for men's apparel.  I'm so close to stabbing myself with this brass collar stay engraved with the company name.  It was given to me for inspiration. Ha ha.
