Problems solved by technology

Stand-alone stores specializing in clothing sales typically do not have a cosmetics department, while stand alone cosmetic stores typically do not sell fashion clothing.
As a result, cosmetics and clothing are not traditionally marketed together.
Thus, even for companies that manufacture clothing and cosmetic lines, the realities of the retail distribution chain can make it difficult to cross-market products.
