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. Tune in to find out more! 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.

Welcome to Paisa Vaisa In this incredibly insightful episode, we sit down with a true titan of the Indian retail sector, BS Nagesh, the founding employee (not founder, as he humbly corrects) of the iconic Shoppers Stop. From being the first employee in 1991, even before the economic reforms came in, Mr. Nagesh takes us on a fascinating journey of how he helped shape how India shops. He shares the incredible story of launching the first Shoppers Stop in just 90 days before Diwali from a converted theater in Mumbai. Learn about the crucial early focus on experience with self-service and the challenges of convincing both customers and suppliers. Discover how the Indian consumer has evolved, the aspirations behind their choices, and the surprising lessons learned during the expansion across metro tier two three cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Jaipur. Mr. Nagesh also delves into the impact of e-commerce, revealing that Shoppers Stop was one of the first ecom companies in India. He shares his perspective on the future of omni channel retail, the role of shopping malls, and the crucial metrics for evaluating retail companies, emphasizing cash flow and margin per square foot. Beyond his legendary role at Shoppers Stop after 34 years, Mr. Nagesh passionately discusses his current venture, TRAIN (Trust for Retailers and Retail Associates of India), and his mission to give back by empowering retail associates and persons with disabilities. This is a must-listen episode packed with invaluable business wisdom, personal anecdotes, and a deep understanding of the Indian market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
