Many people are more cautious of their spending habits but still want to enjoy the benefits of beauty products.

Urban Outfitters is not like the traditional clothing store. They offer unique merchandise that appeals to their customers. The target market are trendsetters, those willing to take a risk with what they wear, and seek to be different.

The other retailers that offer apparel to mass markets have not done as well as this company.
