Our members teach one another, and in a way that can lead to direct action. The ultimate goal is to make Massdrop the hub for everything in the community - hosting original creative content (how-to articles, trip reports, reviews, and so on), buy and trade used gear, arrange local trips, and private message other members. They have a method of giving instant, direct feedback to the manufacturer. Members can share their experiences, good or bad, with other members. You’ll often find Massdrop employees responding to questions in detail, and other community members chiming in. The Drop discussion feature is robust, and available for every product sold. This has been instrumental in the successful launch in 2017 of the more openly-defined Outdoors Community. The commerce team was expanded in 2016 to manage the Ultralight Community in terms of the daily drops and forging new relationships with companies. The community grew from 8,000 members in 2015 to over 500,000 within 2 years. In early 2015, they grew the team to cultivate the Ultralight Community from the tiny seed that they had planted. The Ultralight Community was started in late 2014 by a couple of Drop employees who saw potential in this space. While this is specifically about the outdoor branch of Drop, elements of it apply across all their communities.īP: Who is running the Ultralight and Outdoor communities?

We interviewed the Custom Product Team for the Ultralight and Outdoors Communities to get the full rundown on the company. You might have asked, how does Drop work? This is where you’ll find out. You might never have heard of it, and Googled it for the first time just now. You might like its community-facing platform that invites you to participate. You might have run across Drop when looking for good gear deals.

What started as a site for discounted group buys of specific products has turned into product curation, a massively active community, and, most importantly, custom products.

Its tagline: “We make products with input from our members and give them a place to connect, learn, and shop with people who share their interests.” This sums up the unique company well. Any reference to Massdrop below, including images, are for Drop.ĭrop is a unique retail and community space for gearheads of all product categories, from headphones to keyboards to outdoor gear. UPDATE: In May of 2019 Massdrop rebranded, dropping the “mass” - the company now goes by just Drop.
