You're not alone in this. Every retailer who answered Furniture Today's 2026 executive survey said they use AI for marketing work like product descriptions, emails and social posts (Furniture Today). Among Canadian small businesses, marketing (41%), admin (37%) and customer service (34%) are the top uses (Intuit 2026 AI Impact Report).
