The Old Pricing Label Switcheroo
Pricing Labels are a great asset to your business, really any business. I mean who but the greatest savants among us can retain pricing information for the veritable menagerie of items in our stores?

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.
