MKT 361

I want to take the this time to thank Professor John Rumery for his devotion to bringing us up to speed in the marketing and social media world. I know that all I've learned in the class will be extremely helpful in getting The Headquarters up and running. Not only does he help with his marketing knowledge but his entrepreneurship knowledge. Quick reminder to not let the entrepreneurship program leave Grand Valley. Join the Facebook page and show your support. I don't wanna be one of the last entrepreneurship minors through GV.

Where Are All The Hats?

We are currently working on compiling photos and information on new hat releases. This takes time and lots of research. I know the last post was a stay tuned type of post as well but we hope you do. You will not be disappointed as we plan to bring you exclusives you can't find just anywhere.

Nike Product Testing

Since my junior year of high school I have been doing product testing for Nike. I have done a number of basketball shoes for them, with anything from basics to Jordans, Lebron's and Kobe's. Now I can only share so much information about them... sorry no pictures. I hope to share with you just some general information on them with you in the near future. I can tell you that I am currently testing some Kobe's that will be his shoes for next year. They look sick, but I'll share a little more information later. Stay tuned.

Sam Adams aka Wiz

No this isn't the brewer. This is Sam Adams aka Wiz, a Boston rapper that recently released a new album debuting at #1 on iTunes top Hip Hop albums, but under much controversy. The claims are that he bought his own album but Wiz came out and made it clear that he did no such thing. You all may know this kid from his I Hate College Remix, and I suggest going out and finding more of his songs and buy the album, Boston's Boy.

B.o.B. The Adventures of Bobby Ray

One of my favorite new artists B.o.B is releasing a new album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray. This guy is a true artist just look at the good words GV grad and rapper Joe Buys has for him on his blog. Head of to iTunes and buy this one.

We Run GVSU limited Re-release

GV entrepreneur and recent graduate T.Way released his We Run College series earlier in the year and the Grand Valley ones sold out fast. T.Way just announced on his facebook and blog he's getting a limited number done up so head over to his College Series Store page before the end of the day to get yours ordered.

Mike Posner Coming to GR!

Mike Posner is coming to The Intersection tomorrow! Be sure to check it out. If you can't make it head to his facebook page and download his mixtapes for free.

Oh The Possibilities!

I recently received a newsletter for New Era featuring a new line of hats. With this summers release of Iron Man 2 someone thought what better way to promote then a line of 59fifty's. Its lines like these that show the possibilities of the hat game and the endless design possibilities.

What Are We Striving To Be?

The Headquarters... What exactly is it? The Headquarters is striving to take over the world as one of the premier hat providers to our generation. Just look at your local Hat World or Lids... what do they have? Basic hats and New Eras. You can get an Authentic Detroit Tigers hat, maybe a few different colorways, but there's gotta be more out there. There is and that's what The Headquarters will bring to you, exclusives, one-of-a-kinds, etc. There are plans flying around, and plenty of excitement on our behalf and others hoping to get involved and help out.

So why hats? It's pretty simple really... take a look around at today's average college campus and you will see tons of students wearing hats, specifically New Era hats. Flat bills, hardly every worn straight forward, and usually matching their clothes. So say you just picked up a new pair of Retro Nike Air Jordan 3's, like these...



But you don't have a blue hat to match up with them. And everyone on campus has an LA Dodgers hat and you want something a little different. Lids and Hat World only have the basics, so you stop by The Headquarters, and find a hat like this...



You now have the the shoes, the clothes, and the perfect hat to top off your ensemble. This is what The Headquarters is hoping to bring to you, a wide selection of authentic and one-of-a-kind hats in all kinds of colors and styles. A little something for everyone.

Welcome

Here at The Headquarters we plan to bring you the best in clothing, sports and music. Simply put we are The Headquarters for the 80's and early 90's babies. Today's college generation. We bring to you what you are interested in.
