A related person in charge of a supermarket in a city said in an interview that "the application of electronic price tags, in addition to reducing expenses and improving work efficiency, can also avoid unnecessary losses to consumers caused by human errors." The staff at the supermarket's help desk also stated that "after the electronic price tag was put into use, it reduced the tedious workload brought by promotional price adjustments." The fast price update speed of MTag electronic price tags makes it easier for supermarkets to implement price strategies, reduce labor costs, and gain a leading edge in competition. Therefore, the high initial investment cost can not prevent the popularization of electronic shelf labels. Currently, electronic shelf labels are used in retail stores such as Hema Xiansheng, Yonghui Super Species, Carrefour, Watsons, Mingchuangyoupin, Convenience Bee, and Convenience Store.

With the gradual rise, the hidden costs are huge, and the domestic labor cost will be higher and higher in the future. The short-term investment of electronic shelf labels seems to be huge, but it is a one-time investment. The convenient operation minimizes the labor cost and basically does not need to be invested in the later period. In the long run, the overall cost is low.
