The Need for Modernization in Retail Display

Retail is a fast-paced, highly customer-focused industry, where in-store technology must keep pace with the devices customers carry in their pockets every day. Shoppers now expect quick information and near-instant gratification, making it essential for retailers to stay agile and responsive.

Enter digital shelf tags—electronic displays used to show pricing and product information. They provide the same helpful pricing information customers read daily on paper tags. But they are far more versatile. They enable retailers to change prices on the shelves much more quickly according to data trends. Or promote specials. They allow for more streamlined operations because there’s no hassle of printing and installing new physical tags for every product. This technology shift increases efficiency, giving customers the information they need faster and more effectively.

What Are Their Benefits?

There are many benefits to implementing D&P’s digital shelf tags system in your retail store, whether you run a grocery store, convenience store, office supply store, cannabis dispensary, or other retail environment. The benefits increase for large franchises with many outlets.

1. Effortless Price Updates

Digital shelf tags enable real-time, store-wide pricing updates with minimal manual labor. You can update thousands of tags remotely, saving time and reducing errors. This is especially useful if your store has many locations. 

2. Customizable Displays

Digital tags are completely customizable. We always recommend utilizing branded fonts, colors, and logos to match the store’s aesthetic. Promotions and product details can be visually enhanced to capture shoppers’ attention and turn over products at a quicker pace.

3. Enhanced Customer Engagement and Experience

With clear signage, customers find what they need faster, creating a better overall shopping experience. We’ve been in the signage industry for over forty years, so we’ve witnessed this firsthand. When product information is more accessible, customers are empowered to make faster decisions. And because digital shelf tags are dynamic, you can even display QR codes so that customers have even more information at their fingertips.

Our digital shelf tag system can track customer interactions and engagement, making content shifts based on predetermined triggers.
