The year 2013 was an excellent year, but 2014 is even better. Why? Well im glad you asked. Last year we invested major money into the start up of this company, started the trademarking process, purchased machines, supplies, Launched the original website which was formerly www.gfsnewyork.com, and as much as we tried to conquer the clothing business, it just felt like it was never going to take off. There are so many other companies who are just as hungry and eager as us.
Yet, we knew we had one up on the competition, since we purchased everything upfront, we didn't owe anyone anything, so regardless of how long it took for us to come up, we knew we couldn't give up, we had nothing to loose. We had a movement brand, a lifestyle, not like your basic clothing brand, that just wants to make money and a good name. So We ventured into
different avenues, we started
sending tee's to artists who would contact us, for promotional purposes. We built relationships with these aspiring artists, dancers, and models.
Although GFS was created by our own, in the 1990's in Brooklyn, New York [being tagged on the buildings in the projects]. Once we rolled into this year [2014], GFS has spread through several states, not just the crew from Brooklyn. People understood this is a lifestyle, this is something thats worth being a part of.
Now here we are in 2014, and business is better than it has ever been, we have been able to expand the options in which we can provide, we offer custom orders, we do so much more than just shirts, we have purchased many new machines. We have ventured so far
Editor's notes
we can only imagine where we will be in the next 5 years. The relationships, we have built with people, will last forever, from photoshoots, featuring in video shoots, creating the new website which launched new years 2013 [ www.gfsclothing
company.bigcartel.com ]. Yet, still remaining humble always and staying connected to our roots. We are starting a new program that every 5 shirts purchased from site, we will be sending out 5 shirts to families/people in need.
In lue of being in a position of being able to donate, clothing to people in need, we have been able to run promotions, giveaways, and have contests, as well as massive sales for our customers, this year.
Our main focus is seeing people with our gear on, seeing people post pics feeling good, looking good, and repping the movement. We strive for fast turn around times, good prices, and quality to match.Earlier in the year we started taking custom orders, with no minimum set, like many other companies. Because here at Gfs Clothing Company we want to see other people shine, we want them to eat, there is more than enough to go around. There should be no greed, so there are many new brands coming soon, that need the exposure as well. The same love we received, we want our friends, GFS Strong Mob Fam to receive as well. & Shout out to everyone who supported us, and allowed us to support your dreams and goals as well. We can only hope we get better every year, and grow as a movement brand, and with the GFS Strong Mob aside us, I don't see how we wont all grow. and thank you, thank you to everyone who was featured in our first volume, words cant express our appreciation!!!
