What is the cost of receipt paper? It’s $1.25 per 1000 receipts. The true cost of PromoPRNT is just owning a Star Micronics receipt printer and the time to customize receipt messaging to your audience. Any small business or retail store can be doing in-store POS ads with this tool. PromoPRNT has Promo Builder and Promo Scheduler, making it the easiest way for retailers to do in-store ads at the time of purchase. Offline marketing is severely underestimated in 2018, and PromoPRNT works on the valuable real estate where it’s easiest to get eyeballs—the physical paper receipt.
In the first half of 2018, a slew of retailers have been busy trying this brand-new service added to the popular Star Micronics Cloud Services platform.
Marketing doesn’t have to be expensive or yield uncertain results such as with Facebook or Instagram ads online. PromoPRNT is immediate, physical, and ends up, literally, in your shoppers’ hands.
It allows small businesses to build rapport with customers where it matters most — at the physical location. Having the ability to do campaigns in-store, that are easy to set up and practically automated and very inexpensive, obviously has incredible benefits.
PromoPRNT is also a great way for resellers of retail hardware and software to gain a recurring revenue stream. Meanwhile for retail store managers, this is an easy way to communicate with customers, to implement a customer retention program and gain traction on campaigns, discounts, and seasonal offers. Small businesses are using it to implement the following:
Communicate Easily with Customers
- A discount offer or time-limited promotion
- Quotes & branding keywords
- Hiring notices
Build Rapport with Customers
- Event reminders
- A positive thank you message
- Driving traffic online
Create Customer Experiences
- Customer feedback surveys
- Seasonal campaign sale (e.g. Back-to-School deals)
- A funny message for brand awareness

- Mention of a charity or community initiative
- A point-of-purchase message designed for customer retention
