Liz Claiborne the fashion sportswear company distributed products through 9,000 retail stores in the US. Avon, a fragrance producer, has sales of $3 billion a year. Claiborne enters into a joint venture with Avon, where Claiborne would make available its names, trademarks, and marketing experience and Avon would engage in procurement and manufacturing of the fragrance. During the first and second year of the joint venture, there were sales of $16 million and $26 million respectively.
