How to Effectively Implement Omnichannel Pricing Strategies with Mobile Label Printers
Retail

As e-commerce and brick-and-mortar continue to merge, retailers face increasing complexities with omnichannel pricing strategies. Recent studies show that 85% of Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store (BOPIS) customers make additional purchases when picking up their orders in-store.1 Another common customer behavior is showrooming, where customers visit stores to experience products firsthand before purchasing online. These demands require retailers to maintain competitive pricing across both online and offline stores to retain potential customers.

Effective pricing strategies can drive extra purchases and enhance customer retention, but they must be implemented efficiently. The accuracy and consistency of price labels across online and offline stores significantly impact the customer shopping experience.2 For example, incorrect price labels can lead to customer dissatisfaction and lost sales. By quickly and accurately presenting pricing in physical channels using mobile printers, retailers can better integrate their online and offline strategies to meet customer needs and expectations in a cohesive omnichannel approach.

 

The Role of Mobile Label Printers in Omnichannel Pricing Strategies

Retailers need to update in-store price labels quickly and efficiently when prices fluctuate due to major promotional events like Black Friday, clearance sales, or dynamic pricing for fresh produce. Mobile label printers are crucial for implementing effective omnichannel pricing strategies in the following ways:

  • Reducing Pricing Errors: Mobile printers enable store staff to update prices accurately, clearly display prices, and reduce misunderstandings.
  • Lowering Labor Costs: Mobile printers streamline the price update process, eliminating the time and effort spent moving between shelves and fixed in-store printers.
  • Enhancing Efficiency: Mobile printers can quickly update prices, ensuring stores can respond to market changes promptly.

 

Enhancing Efficiency with TSC Auto ID Mobile Label Printers

  • Easy-to-Carry: TSC Auto ID offers a range of compact and lightweight mobile printers weighing between 215 to 440 grams, making them easy for employees to wear with a shoulder strap or belt clip. The printer's media capacity should be evaluated based on the expected price relabeling volume. For smaller stores or fewer relabeling instances per shift, the palm-sized TDM Series is ideal, offered in either the 2-inch TDM-20 or 3-inch TDM-30 printer models. For printing more labels in a single shift, the RE310 are more suitable, which can utilize up to 2-inch O.D. paper rolls.
  • Uninterrupted Power: The RE310 and TDM-30 are equipped with high-capacity 3,080 mAh batteries, ensuring continuous productivity during shifts. The RE310, with its USB Type-C compatibility and support for fast charging, ensures efficient power replenishment. The TDM-303 model is equipped with Smart Battery technology, enabling the IT team to monitor battery health status, ensuring smooth operations. Both the RE310 and TDM Series mobile printers are compatible with 4-slot battery chargers, further enhancing operational efficiency for multiple printers.
  • Durability: These printers feature robust designs that withstand drops during movement or operation. The RE310 can withstand drops of up to 1.5 meters and tumbles of 1 meter, and the TDM series has passed the military standard MIL-STD-810G drop test. The TDM series (with a protective case) and RE310 are rated IP54 for protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring greater durability.
