Weekly offers, brand promotions and price mark downs across entire departments stores, can be a logistical nightmare. Using electronic shelf labels means this lengthy and sometimes inaccurate process can be implemented at the touch of a button, with accuracy assured!

Displaying the discount value on each and every product, instead of just on larger signage in the area, will increase in store sales.

End of season sales can be rolled out across the entire store in minutes, ensuring that customers are fully aware of which products are on sale and by how much.

Reviews & QR codes

When it comes to expensive purchases like appliances and electronics, 80% of consumers believe that reading a review is imperative (Power Reviews) to the decision making process. Even for lower ticket items customers are now trained to look for ratings and reviews, in order to help make their purchase decision.

Electronic price labels give customers easy access to product ratings and reviews, by presenting them directly on the price label itself. QR codes then drive customers online to read more if required, including full reviews, and product specs and comparisons.

By giving customers access to all the information they need, they are able to make a purchase decision there and then, increasing in store sales.

Stay competitive & reduce showrooming

With the development of online shopping, came the practice of 'showrooming', especially for large ticket items like appliances and electronics. Some brick-and-mortar retailers responded to this by offering best price guarantees, however implementing this strategy in store is a logistical nightmare with paper price tickets.

With electronic shelf labels you can change the price of any or all products in store, at the touch of a button, as many times a day as required. You can also dynamically display competitor prices on the shelf label itself, reinforcing the offer.

These 2 techniques reduce the practice of showrooming and increase in store sales.
