#dropcents

We're back again, and we have to say this is definitely the most exciting project we've done at BSG.  We were recently able to team up with DropCents, an online streetwear and sneaker marketplace based out of St. Louis, to put together a few fly outfits.  In addition, DropCents is providing BSG viewers with a 10% discount .  More details on that later.

How did Dropcents start? What were the inspirations behind its creation and how did you get it to where it is today?

We started in 2005 as a retail store, quickly realizing that the style we offered is for a unique crowd and this crowd is all over the world, not just in our city (St. Louis, MO). So in 2008 @cmosoprano and @jayjillion founded DROPCENTS.com. 

Dropcents’ inspiration is to "drop sense" all over the world, and to accomplish this we have been delivering styles and fashions from designers everywhere. We’re showcasing a lifestyle which is daily living for some, while others may consider the way we live a luxury!

Who is your target audience? Who does Dropcents looks to attract and engage with?

Dropcents’ target audience would be the person who leads the rest. We attract trendsetters, but also love when we can drop sense on someone trying to pursue #flyness

Talk about some special events or programs you've been a part of. What are some of the more exciting things you've experienced through Dropcents?

Through Dropcents we have paved many avenues. We have tapped into many markets and crowds. Anything from the Surfer Poll Awards, to Snoop Dogg’s 10th album release party… even hanging in the VIP with Michael Jordan in Vegas. The list goes on. But the most rewarding feeling from Dropcents is interacting with the entire world. We have such a strong following overseas and it is just growing. 

What's next for Dropcents? What can your customers expect from you in the near future?

Next up for Dropcents? We are putting a lot of energy behind our overseas market. Within the next few months expect to see a stronger Dropcents presence in India, Norway, Italy, and a few more countries. Also, we are working on a few Dropcents collabs. We love to work with new artist and designers.

Being in the fashion industry, what are some of the things you've learned about the business that you'd like to share with younger entrepreneurs in a similar field?

If you’re entering the fashion world, one piece of advice is stay focused and don't let anyone cloud your vision.  Styles always change, respect never fades.

What are some of the obstacles you face in this business that you have learned from the most?

As long as you believe in yourself then who is to tell you no? Just one of the biggest obstacles is staying focused and believing in ourselves and keeping the naysayers away and closing any negative doors.

What's your inventory like? What can people purchase from you and why are you better than the competition?

When a customer makes a purchase from Dropcents, they are receiving more than a piece of clothing or or a pair of sneakers.  They are purchasing a part of a lifestyle! There’s nothing like it when you get to 'Dropcents' and stay fresh! Our inventory is updated daily or more, staying in tune with all the latest styles.

There you have it. Roll on over to http://dropcents.com/ and use the discount code BSGxDPRCNTS
