Happy New Year’s!

Wow its 2010 already. Is your store open today?

More and more stores have kept their doors open on the first day of the New Year, advertising extra savings to rake in shoppers looking for a deal.  Along with the tips from Tuesday about how to maximize after holiday sales, changing the look of your labels along with the discounted price will highlight reductions.

An easy way to draw attention to lower prices on price tags is with a one line pricing gun or a two line pricing gun. Pricing gun kits come with white labels, fluorescent red labels and sale labels. These sticker labels are perfect for going over a paper price tag or another sticker. With a wide selection of pricing gun accessories, stores will be able to find labels that will meet their needs.

If you are having a storewide sale, an efficient way to mark all discounted merchandise is with a system using color labels, discount labels or sale labels. For example, you can mark all items that are 30% off with a green colored label and items that are 50% off with a red label. Likewise, you could use discount labels that have 20% Off, 30% Off and 50% Off already printed on for easy markdowns.

Friday Featured Product: Tagging Guns and Accessories

Friday, April 24th, 2009

In keeping with our theme this week of the economy, we wanted to feature price tagging guns and accessories. Price tagging guns can help increase sales, decrease loss and help with inventory control.  There are many different types of pricing guns available. You need to select the model that suits your needs.

The two most prevalent pricing guns are the labelers that print a sticker that is placed on an item and tagging guns that attach tags with plastic fasteners.

Labeling guns often come in one line and two line versions. One line versions speed up pricing, encourage self-selection and discourage price-switching. These labelers print up to eight characters in one line. Two line labelers print two lines with up to 7 characters per line for clear, sharp labels. Labeling guns are often used for boxes, books, kitchen items and other solid items that need a price tag adhered to it.

Tagging guns connect a paper tag to an item with a plastic fastener. This type of tagging guns is ideal for clothes and other soft items such as pillows and stuffed animals. As a unique touch, fasteners come in many shapes and colors include hot pink and orange plastic fasteners. One thing to keep in mind, some materials will snag or tear using a standard tagging gun. As a result, there are fine tagging guns made especially for this purpose.
