4. Tiered Rewards FTW 
Tiered loyalty programs are hot right now. Customers get more perks as they level up based on spendin’ or engagement. Think early access to sales, exclusive products, or free shipping at higher tiers. It’s like gamifyin’ your shopping experience.

Beauty brands are makin’ sure their loyalty programs work seamlessly across online and offline channels. Whether you’re shoppin’ in-store, online, or through an app, your points and perks should follow. It’s about makin’ loyalty easy and cohesive no matter how you shop.
6. Partnerships and Collaborations 
Some beauty brands are teamin’ up with other brands or influencers to bring extra value to their loyalty programs. Think collabs on limited-edition products or exclusive access to content from popular beauty gurus. It’s about expandin’ the loyalty experience.
