The Mission and Plan: was the creation of BLOCK DVD and the man was Mr. A, CEO whom was recently named “Hoodstar” by the Whirl newspaper in Saint Louis, MO and is receiving tremendous respect from the streets and employment through corporations as well. Block DVD has released two issues and the hype for the soon to be released (out now) VL 3 “The So Sexy Edition” has viewers demanding there copies early and begging for an earlier release. For a price of $10.00 it’s affordable and obtainable for the everyday consumer and over exceeds its objective of providing quality entertainment. Each DVD gets better and bigger, which is what is suppose to happen in this business. With the record sales of VL 1 & thru vl 4in the streets, in mom and pop stores, in the clubs, Vintage Vinyl, out the trunks, through other entertainment companies the money made was invested back into the plan. Mr A. took the grossed revenue and invested back into his company, in business this is an essential, a tool that many people can learn from. Mr A opened his own office, purchased additional equipment, upgraded the technology; better cameras, lenses, etc and hired a few employees due to the growth of the company and sealed the deal with the BLOCK DVD wrapped van in June of 2008. A wrapped van is one of the most effective marketing tools, catching the attention of thousands by site, a great investment. Not only did he wrap a van, Mr. A has other company logos on it that are visible around the bottom, it’s most of the businesses whom supported the block when Mr A. started out. It’s definitely just in time for summer, especially since Block DVD has grown and stretched outside the city of Saint Louis, MO.
