Interview with Kevin Bennett Owner of Gifted Apparel NYC
By: Where It Begins
Q. Do you plan to expand your business outside of Brooklyn?
A. We started out in Brooklyn and our headquarters is in Brooklyn but the whole business is online, and we have a huge number of customers nationwide.
Q. Why do you think people should support you?
A. When you wear Gifted Apparel, you’re going to get more compliments with these t-shirts than any other you’ve worn before. It’s a great product with great quality and you can’t go wrong for the price.
Q. Do you plan to add more products or just mainly focus on T-Shirts?
A. That is something that is very long term down the road. We have a very decent customer base that is growing more and more every day and there are still millions of people whom we haven’t reached and want to reach that still haven’t brought a Viva Brooklyn T-shirt. We do plan to branch out to more constructive pieces but that will be much later down the road.
Q. What kind of advice would you give to someone who is trying to start a business?
A. You need to know exactly what it is that you want to do. You need to have more in mind than just being successful. You should know what you want and come up with a plan of action to make it work.
Q. What do you do for fun outside of the business world?
A. I’m usually with my daughter just having fun and enjoying her. I’ve traveled a bit within the last 18 months but that’s about it.
