Today, we’re joined by a familiar voice and a musically inclined CPG thought leader: Chris Perry of firstmovr. He’s spent the last several months educating brands on how to prepare for a new age of product discovery and conversion paths with the dawn of AI-enabled search.

We’re thrilled to have him back to share key insights and practical takeaways from his recent trainings.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In this episode, Julie, Jordan, and Chris discuss:

  • The Changing Digital Shelf: How the digital shelf continues to evolve rapidly and the growing importance of frictionless and personalized shopping experiences driven by AI.

  • Personal Experiences with AI Search: How tools like Rufus and ChatGPT are influencing their own shopping behaviors.

  • Choice Paralysis and AI Solutions: Choice overload for consumers and how agentic AI tools can curate and simplify decision-making, much like a “Costco experience” for endless online assortments.

  • Training and Transition for Brands: Chris details the challenge of bringing legacy organizations up to speed, highlighting the need to expand skillsets from basic e-commerce “math” to effectively leveraging AI “calculator” tools.

  • Brand Case Studies and Shopper Journeys: Through real shopping scenarios (e.g., searching for whitening toothpaste for sensitive teeth), Chris explains how AI-driven search results can differ from traditional ones, urging brands to rethink content strategy and optimization.

  • Prompting and Shopper-Centric Content: Tips for brands to analyze and adapt to AI tools’ pre-filled questions and dynamic prompts, which often reveal emerging shopper concerns and influence purchase considerations.

  • Practical Optimization Insights: Actionable steps brands can take, such as focusing on clear, shopper-centric product content and continually testing how products show up in AI-influenced search environments.

  • Looking Ahead: The future convergence of search and AI, predicting that the lines between “search bar” and “AI assistant” will soon blur, fundamentally changing shopper expectations.

  • Tips for Brands: Brands are encouraged to treat the digital shelf as an ongoing process, not a project, and to use practical experimentation, shopper empathy, and iterative optimization to stay ahead.
