Tech Vee has affordable influencer resources, such as livestream kits and phone rings. Beauty Vee has very inexpensive products like sleep masks and makeup brush kits.
As she told Black Enterprise,
“I want my supporters to be able to purchase a $15 brush set or a $10 speaker. I truly wanted my supporters to be able to come into my world and be able to be a part of what I am doing. If my prices are set at a luxury price I will alienate the people that have helped to make me who I am. I do not want to have an item that a working mom cannot afford or a working dad has to say I want to support but I cannot afford that right now.”
While she makes decent money through her online store, she also gets some distribution sales. Her products are featured on Citi Trends.
