AFS retailers are consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation to enhance customer experiences, both through large-scale projects and small, meaningful improvements. Some recent examples of these exciting projects include electronic shelf labels, fresh-cut packaged produce, or computer-generated ordering (CGO).
One of the latest innovations comes from Bowman’s Market in Kaysville, which recently introduced Ink’d Greetings, a digital greeting card kiosk. This new addition allows customers to create fully customized greeting cards from a sleek, interactive display, with options to personalize messages, select unique designs, and even attach gift cards to the back—all in one seamless transaction. Bowman’s also recently launched Caper Carts, a new AI-driven shopping cart from Instacart. Learn more here.
As AFS retailers continue to explore new technology and services, innovations like these help deepen community connections and bring a fresh, accessible approach to everyday shopping.
