the label and stick it right on the merchandise.” Selling pric- ing guns and labels to retailers across the board, Halmark Sys- tems is a well recognized name associated with an everyday ne- cessity required by most stores, but during the chaos of holiday preparation, the importance of pricing guns and labels may be an afterthought. However, if you are looking


to have some custom printed labels or tags made, you have to consider the time needed to make a printing plate and all that follows, including shipping.


Luckily, there are standard labels that do the job, as “The same pricing gun used in everyday labeling and pricing can also be supplied with all types of pro- motional labels, including sale, discount, special or fl uorescent red,” notes Crean. “Retailers should take advantage of those labels; they will help in pushing products.” These are the types of promotions retailers are look- ing to market in their stores, especially around the holidays, and all on one small label. Any productive dollar spent dur- ing the year will become more productive during the holiday season, but competition is also ramping up, so use your market- ing dollars wisely. ■
