For physical product brands in wholesale, this matters because retailers that deploy AI assistants are measuring SKU-level conversation data—which SKUs customers ask about, which they abandon, which drive follow-up visits. Run this: if your brand is stocked at Kohl's or similar retailers using AI assistants, request access to anonymized chat data showing which of your SKUs appear in search and conversation. That data reveals where packaging clarity fails or where positioning is muddy. Use it to brief your sales team on which SKUs need education or repositioning on shelf.\n\nMy Stash Take on what it means for the rest of us →\nhttps://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/t/li/kohls-2026-07-31t00-7\n→ Your Stash Room — your logo, live pricing, ships blind: https://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/r/li/kohls-2026-07-31t00-7\n→ Proper imprints, done right at POPS4: https://pops4-stash-edge.billing-010.workers.dev/l/s/li/kohls-2026-07-31t00-7",
