We recently made the difficult decision to stop making new shoots. This is for a few reasons;
Customers who bought long-term subs may choose to request a partial prorated refund - or have their remaining subs’ time doubled so they get the same amount of content spread over a longer time period (The extension discount is only for people who had paid before July 31 2023 for access after July 31 2023). Complete the form at https://support.abbywinters.com/contact-us/, and we'll get you sorted out.
The site (and boards) will continue operating as normal. We’ll still offer a subscription option, but I expect some customers will switch over to using our Pay Per Scene system over time. I hope the site can keep running like this for a few more years, but I suppose time will tell.
Thanks to all our models who shared their lives and sexuality with us over the last 23 years - I reckon we’re all amazed and blessed in equal measure for their courage and openness.
Thanks to our staff and contractors, especially those who have worked with us over the last six years, since we “decentralised” from our office. Working from home was convenient for us all, but it came with an emotional toll and a lack of “easy” connection with each other - I am glad of our mega catch-up in Amsterdam in summer 2022. I thank you for your professionalism and commitment for your work to bringing the best shoots possible to our customers.
And finally, thanks to our customers who have made this possible. Without you, we are nothing😍
- Lack of profitability: In the last year we made a significant financial loss, and the next 12 months are looking similar. We had a few projects in the pipeline to increase our sales, but I am not confident they are enough. Unfortunately, some have been cancelled now (though the new Tour is going ahead).
- Lack of the right models: We never properly recovered from moving to Europe in 2010. The loss of our backbone of regular Australian models is what we built our reputation on. I think we (and especially the models) did a good job over the last 13 years, but we’re finding it harder and harder to find the “right” models every month.
- Time for a change for Garion: It’s been 23 years now, and I don’t look forward to abbywinters.com work like I used to.
