A method for selectively printing different messages on labels printed by a n in-store scale involves providing an in-store scale including a label printi ng mechanism with a supply of labels and a communications link for receiving information from a site external to the store. The scale label printing mechanism is configured in a first state and, during the first state, simultaneous printing of two types of information on a first label takes place. In particular, both (i) product information for a specified product to which the first label will be applied and (ii) a first message pertaining to a product which is different than the specified product to which the first label will be applied, are printed on the first label. The in-store scale receives a message control signal via the communications link which configures the scale label printing mechanism in a second state. Durin g the second state, simultaneous printing of two types of information on a second label takes place. In particular, both (i) product information for a specified product to which th e second label will be applied and (ii) a second message, different than the first message, and also pertaining to a product which is different than the specified product to whi ch the second label will be applied, are printed on the second label.
