Creating engaging content for the digital shelf is more demanding than ever as it requires refining strategies consistently to maintain relevancy and drive conversions. Generative and other AI tools allow content creators to test various approaches and gain actionable insights from the results. How can you optimize your digital shelf content using AI?

According to digital strategist Todd Hassenfelt, private, beta, generative AI tools like Ask Profitero allow you to integrate KPI data from the digital shelf, including availability, retailers, search terms, ratings, reviews, pricing, and promotions. Additionally, you can input prompts to enhance and iterate variations of PDP content with descriptions, bullet points, images, and videos. With in-store and online shopping experiences becoming increasingly centralized and brands losing consumers to competitors, optimizing your PDPs for physical screens and leveraging an AI-driven scoring system to rank content is imperative.
