Candy Store Price Tags: Keep the Selling Unit Obvious

Customers need to know which price belongs to which sweet and what quantity the price buys. Decorative consistency comes after that relationship.
Start with the decision
Choose label holders that fit the exact wording and selling unit. Test the smallest label with the product, including reflections from clear bins and the view from the normal browsing position.
Work through the details
For a price change, identify the item, update the sales system under the shop's procedure and replace every affected display label. Include secondary displays so one item does not carry conflicting prices.


A planning example
The same gift bag appears at the window and beside checkout. A price change needs both positions checked as well as the sales record. Use the exact item identifier so a similar-looking bag of another size is not accidentally relabelled.
Check it in the shop
Ask another person to check a small sample against the product and terminal record. Place labels where they stay associated with the container after refilling, cleaning or moving a shelf.
