What does it take to turn a wealth of grocery data into action for independent retailers? At Groceryshop, Mindy Miller, VP of Analytics at Associated Food Stores, spoke to a packed house about bringing scan data and other information together so retailers, vendor partners, and internal teams can work from the same numbers. That shared view helps them spend less time reconciling reports and more time deciding what to do next. She also shared that AFS is seeing a 3:1 return from one-to-one personalization with Birdzi, Inc. Miller joined Sylvia Bronson of Scheid Family Wines and Ben Lewis of Little Spoon for “Harnessing Consumer and Shopper Insights that Power Growth,” moderated by Alison Servi of Herman-Scheer. We’re proud to partner with AFS as its team helps independent grocers use shopper insight to make more relevant decisions for the people they serve. #Groceryshop2026 #GroceryRetail #Personalization

“We really do enjoy our partnership with you all.” Those words from Mary Jo Ziemkowski, Analyst (Rewards - Grocery Retail) with Strack & Van Til, mean a lot to our team. Partnership at Birdzi, Inc. goes beyond the technology. It means understanding what a retailer is trying to accomplish, bringing our experience to the table and working together to find the right approach for their business and their shoppers. And that extends to AskKea. Mary Jo put it to work to identify customers who purchased specific items within a set timeframe. She got the answer she needed and AskKea surfaced an additional layer of insight. “I was impressed by its capabilities and look forward to exploring more ways to leverage this tool for insights and support.” Thank you, Mary Jo and the Strack & Van Til team, for your continued partnership. #GroceryRetail #CustomerLoyalty #CustomerIntelligence #RetailTechnology

What if promotional investment could do more for both retailers and CPGs? Author and retail strategist, Gary Hawkins, argues that the shift starts by focusing on the customer behavior each side is trying to influence, then aligning funding and measurement around that outcome. But the real question is: how do you get there? In his latest Birdzi Point of View, Hawkins lays out a practical, phased path for moving from traditional promotion spending toward customer investment without asking retailers and CPGs to reinvent the model overnight.
