In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, we are spotlighting Qurate Retail Group<\/a>\u2019s efforts to highlight AAPI-owned businesses as part of their ongoing Small Business Spotlight<\/a> initiative. This program supports entrepreneurs from underrepresented groups with national on-air and digital exposure, along with various other in-kind services, sourced through RangeMe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qurate Retail Group\u2019s Small Business Spotlight<\/a> gives these businesses the opportunity to showcase their products to a national audience through their leading retail brands including QVC, HSN, and Zulily. QVC and HSN reach a combined total of more than 90 million homes via five television networks and reach millions more via multiple streaming services, social pages, mobile apps, and websites. In the online retail space, Zulily serves millions of Moms everywhere by offering a fun, personalized shopping experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read through the stories and experiences of four of the AAPI-owned businesses selected by Qurate Retail Group below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M2\u00dc NYC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born and raised in Taiwan, Amy Granger\u2019s first makeup experience was in her mid 20\u2019s after coming to the U.S. to attend graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Getting a beauty makeover at a major department store left her feeling unrecognizable, and not in a good way. Years later, with over a decade of experience working with big-name beauty brands and a passion to make high-quality makeup accessible to everyone, she set out to create her own makeup brand, M2\u00dc NYC<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"M2\u00dc<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

M2\u00dc NYC is a certified vegan and cruelty-free makeup brand offering skincare-infused, multi-usage makeup at super affordable prices. \u201cI knew I could create high-quality makeup like the luxury brands, but without the heavy markup they charge,\u201d says Granger, Co-Founder and President of M2\u00dc NYC. \u201cWith the launch of M2\u00dc, I want to empower everyone to formulate their own beauty standards. I want to give people tools to experiment, have fun, and create new routines without feeling guilty about overspending.\u201d With the memory of her unappealing makeover, Granger explains, \u201cI made sure all our products were lightweight and buildable, so it\u2019s up to our customers to decide how little or how much to wear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facing challenges is a given for any entrepreneur trying to fight their way into the retail space. Granger brings to light the additional challenges her immigrant background has brought her. When looking for a fulfillment center to store products, she realized vendors were not interested in a new startup without venture capital or any sales history. They instead suggested she start housing products in her own garage. Living in a one-bedroom apartment in NYC and being unable to use a family member\u2019s garage space (since they were still in Taiwan) made her realize the lack of additional resources she had access to. Granger\u2019s advice for AAPI entrepreneurs is to tap into their networks and don\u2019t be shy to ask for help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granger has been using RangeMe for her brand since 2021. \u201cWe leverage RangeMe to submit to retailer\u2019s specific programs. So far, we\u2019ve been connected to the buyers at CVS and Zulily via RangeMe, and were on-air live on QVC\/HSN\u2019s Small Business Spotlight segments \u2013 all because of RangeMe!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handy Sandy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being part of their families\u2019 bag- and luggage-making business for more than 40 years taught two sisters, Sandy and Celia Liang, the ins and outs of working with retailers. Deciding to go their own way and create bags that aligned with their personal styles, Handy Sandy<\/a> was born. \u201cGrowing up in the family business, bags and transporting items are always on our mind,\u201d says Sandy Liang. \u201cWe always look and think of ways of how to make things better. We wanted to create products that were different from the products our family business was creating,\u201d she says. \u201cHandy Sandy has given us a voice and allowed us to create products the way we want.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Handy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Liang\u2019s advice for AAPI entrepreneurs is to push through even if it’s hard to break into a business or retail. \u201cIf you are persistent and believe in yourself and your product, someone will see it too.\u201d This advice stems from the obstacles she has faced herself as an AAPI entrepreneur. \u201cWe feel that sometimes we are considered and met for being classed as a minority-owned company but never really considered seriously,\u201d says Sandy Liang. \u201cWe have to work harder to get our products considered. We overcome by pushing through and continuously reaching out in hopes that there will be an opportunity for our products to enter their stores.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handy Sandy joined RangeMe two years ago to gain interest in their products and create lasting partnerships. The Liang sisters praise RangeMe for putting its brand and products in front of buyers. \u201cIt gives us an opportunity to showcase our products to an audience we wouldn’t be able to reach on our own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multitasky<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Realizing the lack of stylish, functional, and affordable home office products after leaving the corporate world, Julia Xu launched Multitasky<\/a>. Her brand empowers female go-getters to live extraordinary professional and personal lives, believing that building an inspirational workspace can drive passion for achievements. Multitasky offers modern tech, multi-functional office, and comfort home collections to boost your productivity and bring convenience into your life. Their vertically integrated supply chain and ability to identify upcoming trends on social media allows Multitasky to launch FUNctional and aesthetic lifestyle products into the market in just two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Multitasky\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When asked about facing additional challenges as a woman and AAPI entrepreneur, Xu responded, \u201cI have certainly encountered instances where I needed to work harder than my white and male counterparts in order to be heard and respected.\u201d To overcome these obstacles, she remains vigilant in her search for success and doesn\u2019t let these circumstances deter her, no matter how frustrating they become. \u201cI believe that representation is so important in inspiring inclusion, and to that end, I have vowed to be a loud member of the AAPI community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xu\u2019s advice for AAPI entrepreneurs looking to start their own business is to go for it head-on, \u201cYou will find success if you are giving your all and remaining focused. And while you may encounter prejudice, try to also remember the tremendous asset that being a member of the AAPI community gives you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RangeMe has been a great resource for Xu and Multitasky to connect with retailers and expand their distribution footprint, \u201cWe have found incredible success in this area, and have even been able to start white-labeling products for retailers using our own supply chain,\u201d says Xu. Xu has connected with several retailers including QVC\/HSN, Zulily, SnackMagic<\/a>, and many more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps our biggest feature from RangeMe was on QVC, where we got to do a live segment for our ring lights. The incredible connection that RangeMe has to its retailers is what made this possible, and we look forward to the collaborations to come.\u201d – Julia Xu, Founder & CEO of Multitasky<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BodyKore<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BodyKore<\/a> started out as a gym solutions company designing and outfitting commercial gyms. Leo Chang, president of BodyKore, soon realized the void in the industry for space-saving, multi-functional equipment with the premium look and feel of a commercial machine. BodyKore now manufactures its own gym equipment, providing high-quality products, exceptional customer service, affordable payment plans, and space-saving designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"BodyKore\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For Chang, being an entrepreneur is all about overcoming obstacles. \u201cIt forces me and my team to stay ahead of the trends, be innovative, and always provide excellent customer service,\u201d he says. His advice for entrepreneurs looking to start their own business is, \u201cTo do as much research on the market and industry as possible. Have a solid business plan with a financial forecast, and be prepared for obstacles that aren\u2019t foreseeable.\u201d Chang emphasizes, \u201cDo something that you enjoy and not just something just for monetary purposes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BodyKore has been leveraging RangeMe since the beginning of 2022, which is how they got discovered for Qurate Retail Group\u2019s Small Business Spotlight and met with a Sam\u2019s Club buyer. \u201cWe are still actively looking for other retailers to supply our goods to and will continue using this great platform,\u201d says Chang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AAPI Heritage Month may be coming to an end but our effort to raise awareness<\/a> for the AAPI community and supplier diversity will not.
