Why Digital Shelf Edge Display are the Future of Retail

June 20, 2025

Do you notice something about modern UK retail shops today? It's something subtle but powerful. The shelves are starting to talk—quietly, smartly, digitally. There are no more fading paper tags or frantic label swaps. This change is caused by digital shelf edge displays—they're small screens but have a big impact in today's retail industry.

Kleo offers these in-store displays that help you:

  • Automate pricing and promos
  • Guide customers with targeted content
  • Boost margins and operational efficiency

Let me tell you why the shelf matters now more than ever.

Finding What They Want—Faster

Ever followed a shopper through rows of products wondering, “Can you see it yet?” With inconsistent signage and crowded aisles, customers simply give up.

Digital shelf edge displays can:

  • Highlight promotions or bestsellers at a glance
  • Suggest related products (“Pairs well with…”)
  • Use color-coded cues
  • Play video promotions for added impact

Imagine the relief when shoppers walk in, spot what they need, and head straight to it—no app, no hunt.

Instant Price & Promo Updates

You know the hassle: price changes, outdated labels, frantic sticker swaps at checkout. There are some instances where the product prices at the till is different with the label in the shelf. These can cause confusion, hassle for both customer and cashier, and the staff could get in trouble too. And that's something we don't want.

With digital labels you can:

  • Change pricing across multiple stores in seconds
  • Launch flash sales or happy-hour pricing live
  • Avoid awkward price mismatches at the till

That’s accuracy, speed, and trust—all automated.

Better Visibility & Brand Storytelling

Static price tags say one thing. Digital ones can do so much more:

  • Show rotating visuals: product demos, “Award-winning” flags
  • Run short animations or ads
  • Share QR codes linking to recipes, reviews, or loyalty programs

With Kleo Digital Shelf Edge Displays, your shelves don’t just display—they market, entertain, and inspire.

Operational Efficiency & Cost Savings

How much time does your team spend replacing worn labels?

With digital shelf edge displays you can:

  • Save hours each week on manual updates
  • Reduce errors and price complaints
  • Let staff focus on customers, not stickers

Plus: studies show a 6–10% bump in sales after installation. That's a big impact with only one product investment.
