French-Inspired Body Care Brand ABI AMÉ Launches With Hero Product Summer Skin

ABI AMÉ

ABI AMÉ, a new clean body care brand from France, launched today with its mission to elevate the way women take care of the skin on their body from the neck down. Jordanian-Palestinian Founder and CEO Yasmin Zeinab created ABI AMÉ after recognizing the gap in the quality of products available for the face compared to the body. With community at the forefront of ABI AMÉ’s core values, as part of creating the brand, Zeinab spoke to 1,000 women from across the world. Through these conversations, she learned about a myriad of unaddressed needs and pain points in the body care space and set out to solve them. Pushing the boundaries of traditional body care, ABI AMÉ creates problem-solving products powered by active ingredients that deliver visible, lasting improvements. “The reality is that when it comes to skincare, our face gets all the attention,” said Yasmin Zeinab, founder of ABI AMÉ. “We believe in adopting a skincare mentality for the whole body. There’s a whole suite of pain points in the body care space that hasn’t been addressed by existing products. That’s why we set out to create high-performing skincare products for the body using the same nourishing and effective ingredients typically found only in products for the face, that solve specific problems we know our community experience.” ABI AMÉ is launching with its hero product, Summer Skin, designed to solve a problem their community told them about: the heaviness and sticky residue that traditional lotions leave on the skin in the summer. A lightweight, high-hydration, serum-lotion hybrid that combines four active ingredients, Saccharide Isomerate, Oat Extract, Niacinamide, and Vitamin B5, Summer Skin’s vitamin-rich formula hydrates the skin like a rich nourishing lotion but feels like a barely there serum. Designed to replace traditional body lotions and creams during the warmer months, Summer Skin is a fast-absorbing formula that leaves no sticky residue while still providing the skin with moisture and hydration. “Everything we do starts with our community – we call them our AMIES (the French word for friends) – and that’s because that’s what being part of our community feels like, it’s akin to being part of a friendship group,” said Zeinab. “We are in daily conversation with them, learning about their needs and pain points. We make the products they tell us they need, rather than using them as a sounding board or testing group to validate our product ideas. Our product development philosophy is simple: it starts by listening to our AMIES.” All ABI AMÉ products are made in France, a country globally recognized as a leader in cosmetics and skincare, and undergo strict safety and stability testing per EU regulations, giving the brand an edge in the U.S. market. “We started ABI AMÉ by speaking to 1,000 women about body care and listening to their needs," said Zeinab. "Each year, we’ll speak to over 1,000 women as part of our commitment to this ongoing dialogue with our community, our AMIES. Everything we do starts with them and that’s the way it will always be at ABI AMÉ.” Summer Skin is now available to purchase exclusively at www.abi-ame.com. Hi-res images, interviews, and media samples are available upon request. Contact Details Six One Agency Camryn Carlson +1 818-748-7444 camryn@six-one.com

Minuteman Press Franchise in Gastonia, NC Has Grand Opening for New Father-Son Team Tony & David Marder

Minuteman Press International Inc

Tony and David Marder are the new owners of the Minuteman Press franchise in Gastonia, NC. In January of 2023, Tony and David purchased Minuteman Press in Gastonia from retiring owners Pam and Bill Joles, who owned the business for nearly 32 years since July of 1991. On Thursday, May 25, 2023, Tony and David held their official Grand Opening at their shop located at 495 East Long Avenue in Gastonia. The event was sponsored by the Gaston Business Association and had a fiesta theme that included margaritas, festive appetizers, a food truck, and a mariachi band. There were also plenty of raffles as well as a ribbon-cutting ceremony that served as a celebration of Tony and David’s new venture while Pam and Bill were also in attendance to help pass the torch. In the below interview, Tony shares how he and David originally came into contact with Pam and Bill, and how that relationship grew to the point of purchasing the business. Tony also shares how he’s been building his business since the purchase and why print is so vital today. You purchased the business after working in the shop for a couple of years. What were your roles/experiences as employees and what drove you to buy the business? Tony Marder: “Interestingly, even before working in the shop, Pam and Bill Joles were previous coaching clients. We met via our local BNI and Chamber memberships. At the time, I focused my business coaching with family-owned businesses and Pam and Bill engaged me to assist. I noticed how they were avid readers and spent focused time on goal-setting and systemization. Just before and during the pandemic closures, I asked if they needed someone very part time for deliveries or light finishing work to fill some of my open schedule. At some point in early 2021, I asked Bill ‘how he intended to land this thing’ and he said, “Why? You want to buy a business?” My answer was, “Absolutely not!” But an hour later I mentioned that I felt this may be a good fit for me and my son David, whom I know to be very adept and resourceful with machines and computers and technology in general. David joined the team as print production specialist in May of 2021 specifically to learn the finishing work. Having a bit of a graphics background didn’t hurt either and he quickly added pre-print typesetting and other aspects of pre-print work to his overview. Knowing this was a good fit and having almost two years of on-the-Job experience with Pam and Bill made it a much easier decision for us to move forward.” What has the support from Minuteman Press International been like for you? Tony Marder: “Having experience with franchise teams, I expected the support system to be there. I was especially impressed with the FLEX software and the strength of the training and process protocols. The local team made the transition easy and the Home Office training team is concise and thorough. Every call or need is quickly handled and everyone jumps in to help with urgency as needed.” How do you describe your business and capabilities to potential clients? Tony Marder: “We can produce anything that can be printed or find someone in our organization that can; we will produce and deliver quickly high quality work that helps them run or grow their business or organization.” What are the high-demand products and key growth areas? Tony Marder: “Our most requested items are business cards, forms, labels, stickers, letterhead and envelopes, booklets, manuals, newsletters and mailings. We would like to feature more mailings, interior signage, posters, decals and graphic design.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business since taking over in January of 2023? Tony Marder: “Relationship marketing via phone and face to face direct marketing to existing and past clients, as well as SEO/SEM Marketing, active membership in the local chamber and Rotary. Planning now for future postcard mailings featuring postcard mailing as well as special promotions.” How would you best describe your community? Tony Marder: “We have a small but dedicated and loyal community. We are a volunteer and philanthropic community of diverse folks raising families and enjoying our corner of the world. We have a lot of natural resources that draws a wide range of individuals to the area spanning entrepreneurs, professionals, service-related businesses and manufacturers. We enjoy the closeness of the Charlotte, NC Metro area without the cumbersome things that make larger cities less attractive. Around here we say that ‘we don’t tell anybody about it, but if they find it on their own then it’s perfectly okay with us.’” Why do you think printing remains so vital to businesses today? Tony Marder: “Print is everywhere. I can’t go anywhere without seeing print in action. Every business or organization uses print at some level; either to run or grow their business. I feel email and social media marketing has its place but lacks a personal touch or relationship that could be developed. Print solidifies other marketing sources and cements brand recognition. People read, so giving them something to read is the best way to keep them engaged.” What are the biggest rewards of owning your business? Tony Marder: “This is a cashflow business with a lot of upside potential. Cash is certainly king when it comes to owning your business and this one is no different. Personally, I’m in it to help my son secure a future and continue to provide inspiration for the team. I’d like to see us increase what we can give back to our community and find more ways to engage the public.” What advice would you give to other business owners right now? Tony Marder: “Attract and hire people smarter than you, then get out of their way and give them room to shine. Find a mentor who has documented experience with the legal, financial and accounting arenas and do not resist being pushed closer to the fire. Get in there and get it done.” For more information about Minuteman Press in Gastonia, NC, visit https://minuteman.com/us/locations/nc/gastonia/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

Shiv Narayan Jewellers Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad’s top legacy jewellery, has achieved 8 Guinness World Records™ Titles, becoming the first Indian jeweller in history to accomplish such a feat. To commemorate the occasion, a grand celebration attended by high profile dignitaries and celebrities unfolded at the breathtaking Taj Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad, the perfect venue to commend the Shiv Narayan’s rich legacy. The grand event featured Bollywood’s fashion icon Disha Patani who strutted the ramp in one of Shiv Narayan's high jewellery pieces. Her ethereal presence not only showcased its intricacy but also the craftsmanship and its breathtaking elegance. The evening unfolded as a captivating showcase of fashion, glamour, and exquisite jewellery but the highlight of the event was the unprecedented ‘Experiential Zone’ - an immersive experience of the record-breaking jewels themselves. The four zones, dedicated to each of the creations, exhibited the inspirations, innovation and nuances of the pieces. The first of the four, The Ganesh Pendant, achieved the Guinness World Records™ Title for The Heaviest Pendant weighing in at 1011.150 grams & The Most Diamonds Set On A Pendant (11,472).

With 315 emeralds and 1971 fine diamonds, it now holds the records for The Most Emeralds Set On A Necklace and The Most Diamonds Set On A Necklace. The sourcing of the gemstones for this necklace alone took 2 ½ years and the piece was crafted over 5 ½ months. Paying homage to the ancient treasures of the Nizams, an integral part of Shiv Narayan's heritage, The Satlada Necklace is a resplendent creation exemplifying the dedication and attention invested in each piece. Elevating luxury to new heights, Shiv Narayan Jewellers' The Magnifying Glass holds an impressive value of $108,346 making it The Most Expensive Magnifying Glass.
