Embodiments herein describe using electronic shelf labels (ESLs) to help a customer find a particular item in a store. For example, a customer can load a retailer's application onto their mobile device and indicate to the application which items she would like to purchase. The retailer's application can instruct the ESL to perform a visual action to attract the customer's attention. This can include flashing a light on the ESL, or causing a portion of the display to change from off (white) to on (black). Once the ESL is identified, the customer can establish communication between the mobile device and the ESL so that the ESL can transmit display information that can be customized to the mobile device. The mobile device can then display the same (or similar) information as being displayed by the ESL, which can be used, e.g., for a visually impaired person.
