Open Merchandising- Prevent Shoplifting

Each time a retailer tries to lock up their high theft merchandise behind a case, or some other form of employee control, sales go down. It has been proven time and time again from every product assortment and specialty niche that has undergone a locking solution.

That pushes retailers back to the drawing board of how to protect their product and prevent theft at the hands of shoplifters and employees. In order to not create a negative impact on sales, high theft products need an open merchandising solution.

An open merchandising solution entails a customer’s ability to pick the product up at their leisure. It allows them to read labels, feel fabrics or materials, and inspect an item up close for quality. When the customer feels like they have gathered enough information to make a purchasing decision, they buy the item.

Some customers are turned off by the prospect of needing an employee to assist them. Either they do not want to endure a barrage of questions about what they are looking for, or the customer simply does not have the time to track down an employee to get the item for them. Open merchandising allows the customer to take control of their purchase.
