Wild West and Pricing Guns, Or Lack Thereof
Wild western pricing gun labels probably didn’t exist. If you wanted to buy something at Quinn’s general store, you just asked Quinn how much it cost. And that was that. Coffee was like fifteen cents. Granted this was a hundred an fifty years ago. So you know. But still, baking powder, coffee, hominy, bacon rind. [...]
Pricing Labels Are Important to the Shopaholic
You may know a serious shopper, or you may be one yourself. That may even be why you got into the retail business in the first place. And every shopaholic, unless they are rolling dough, knows how to make the most of their budget so they can still shop often without breaking the bank. And [...]
Pricing Labels Will Save You From Customer Issues
I’ve worked a few years in retail and I know how important it is to have pricing labels on everything. If an item doesn’t have a price on it, it’s most likely the customer will pass on it unless it’s something they really want. Most people don’t want to go through the trouble of finding [...]
Be Careful with Tagging Guns
Not all retail workers might be familiar with tagging guns. Tagging guns are very different from price guns. A tagging gun has a needle and uses small plastic barbs to attach a price label or tag. These are used for items that you can’t put a sticker label on, such as clothing, rugs or pillows. [...]

Supermarket Pricing Labels Not Doing Well
When you’ve gone to the supermarket, I’m sure you’ve noticed the unit pricing labels in front of your items. Unit pricing is a labeling system that allows the consumer to compare prices and values of an item. Both online and large supermarkets are required to display the unit price next to the selling price. Last [...]
DIY Price Tags
There are a lot of ways to price things. You can use price guns, or tie or staple tags — depending on what the item is you could even just write it directly on. (Many secondhand booksellers pencil in the prices on the inside cover.) If you want to shake things up a bit and [...]

Want To Spice Up Your Price Tagging Gun?
If you work at a department or convenience store, and one of your primary responsibilities is tagging items with a pricing gun, you probably get a little, well, sick of it after a while. There’s not a whole lot you can do to break up the potential monotony, but you can at least make the [...]
