Companies in this industry have started to utilize media entertainment to promote their products quickly and effectively. Using the influence of popular television shows, movies, and other forms of entertainments to market their product is becoming an increasingly prevalent strategy in exposing their cosmetics to potential consumers. It expedites the process of providing consumers with product information.
