Top 75 Business Trends in August

From Cash-Back Shopping Apps to Private Label Skincare Launches

— August 28, 2021 — Business
From cash-back shopping apps to private label skincare launches, the August 2021 business trends explore who brands are adapting to shifting consumer interest.

One emerging brand targeting consumers looking for rewards is the 'Fluz' app. The cash-back shopping app allows users to earn up to 35 percent cash-back from any purchases. In addition, customers can earn more rewards when friends and social media followers shop using the app. These rewards can be sustainable, and unlike other platforms in this space, the Fluz app doesn't charge any fees – whether for registration, claims, or payouts.

Another intriguing example from the August 2021 business trends comes from Dollar General. The discount chain recently launched a private label skincare line. The affordable collection includes 11 different products priced at five dollars or under.
