One of the technologies that will be featured at the show includes the compact TM-m30 receipt printer and Mobilink P80 mobile printer, which are attached to a belt clip to allow staff the freedom to print receipts anywhere in the store. As many retail stores move away from traditional, space-consuming checkout stations and return kiosks, they are instead embracing on-the-go technologies that can be used with just as much ease as a pocket-sized mobile device. To encourage repeat business from return customers, especially within brick-and-mortar spaces, retailers are adopting in-store solutions that prioritize the same level of ease as an online shopping experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **On-the-go Technologies:** The adoption of compact, mobile devices and printers allows for more flexibility and convenience in retail spaces. - **Streamlining In-store Experience:** Retailers are embracing solutions that prioritize ease and efficiency, such as mobile printers that can be used anywhere in the store. - **Encouraging Repeat Business:** Retail stores are implementing in-store solutions to enhance the in-store experience and encourage return customers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Retail:** The retail industry is adopting innovative in-store technologies to improve the customer experience and increase customer loyalty. - **Technology:** The technology industry is developing compact mobile devices and printers to cater to the growing demand for on-the-go solutions in retail. - **Printing:** The printing industry is evolving to create mobile printers that offer convenience and flexibility for various applications, including in-store receipt printing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retail Receipt Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-ticket-kiosks.md) - [Thermal Receipt Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-receipt-printers.md) - [Warehouse Worker-Focused Efficiency Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-printer-waist-belt.md) - [Mobile Retail Terminals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcx-m7.md) - [Ultra-Compact Photo Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultracompact-photo-printer.md) - [Paper-Free Retail Receipts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vynamic-digital-receipt.md) - [Pocket-Sized Smartphone Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-instant-photo-printer.md) - [Customizable Retail Mobile Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightspeed-scanner.md) - [Small Retailer EPoS Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shopmate-360.md)
