Crafting Connection and Convenience: The B.O.V.I. Story

In the heart of our entrepreneurial journey lies a shared commitment to addressing local challenges through innovative business solutions. As partners with a history of diverse ventures, we recognized a pressing issue that resonated deeply with our community: the struggle to find quality hair, skin, and beauty products tailored to African-Americans and people of color, particularly in suburban areas.

One night, fueled by laughter and a shared vision, we conceptualized a business plan that evolved into our passion project—B.O.V.I. Our mission: strategically place vending machines in the highest traffic intersections of African-American spending across the top 20 zip codes in Colorado. These machines would not only provide essential beauty products but also foster a sense of community and convenience.

At the core of B.O.V.I. is a commitment to give back. For every unit we place, 10% of quarterly sales are reinvested into a local charity chosen by the residents of that neighborhood. This initiative serves as more than just a philanthropic endeavor; it's a vital component of our marketing strategy. We aim to position B.O.V.I. as a dedicated resource and catalyst for positive change in the communities we serve, supporting smaller nonprofits making a significant impact. From our entrepreneurial roots to B.O.V.I.'s blossoming journey, we're here to redefine beauty shopping, empower communities, and create lasting connections.

At B.O.V.I., we've redefined the beauty shopping experience by strategically placing ourselves in the community hubs our customers frequent—the grocery store, recreation center, gym, and more. Our commitment to quality extends beyond convenience; we bring you brands you already know and love, ensuring competitive pricing that consistently beats Walmart. We've made it our mission to meet the unique beauty needs of African-Americans and people of color, bridging the gap in suburban areas where such products are often hard to find.

Our dedication to community goes beyond transactions. We reinvest 10% of profits from each unit into a local charity within the respective zip code. This not only supports the communities we serve but also allows our customers to give back effortlessly through local shopping. It's more than philanthropy; it's a chance to build deeper connections with neighborhoods and customers alike. By engaging with the communities we operate in and contributing to local charities, we're creating a positive cycle of impact and shared prosperity.

We believe in putting your favorite brands within reach. Our vending machines are strategically placed, ensuring that your preferred products are conveniently available at the community hubs you frequent. We understand that each customer knows what their body needs—whether it's the perfect hair brand, effective skincare, or beauty essentials. Through surveys, we gain insights into the specific needs of each neighborhood, allowing us to tailor our offerings to more comprehensively meet those needs. At B.O.V.I., your favorite brands are not just products; they're a part of a personalized and accessible beauty experience.
