In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, Qurate Retail Group is using its production resources, television broadcasts and digital platforms to elevate AAPI-owned businesses and is hosting events for team members to celebrate the history, contributions and achievements of the APPI community. Here’s a closer look:

  • Small Business Spotlight: More than a dozen AAPI-owned businesses – spanning beauty, home décor, electronics, kitchen/culinary and wellness – have been selected to participate during May in Qurate Retail Group’s Small Business Spotlight, which supports entrepreneurs from underrepresented groups with national on-air and digital exposure, along with various other in-kind services. Five will share their brand stories on-air on QVC and HSN at various times throughout the month, while an additional nine will appear on QVC2 in a one-hour special at 3 p.m. ET on May 15. In addition, qualifying businesses have the opportunity to be featured in a dedicated, month-long event on Zulily. Learn more about this month’s participating businesses on QVC.com and HSN.com. Qurate Retail Group offers small businesses unmatched opportunities for growth and exposure.

In the online retail space, Zulily serves 4.6 million customers a year.
