A business owner wants to be able to provide merchandise at a reasonable price, without having to compensate excessively for loss due to shrink and theft. It’s a simply concept outwardly, but with many facets that have to be explored. Retail anti theft devices are an option that can be explored in order to help reduce these losses that all business owners experience to some extent.

Retail theft prevention options such as Checkpoint security systems are a proven way to help stop shoplifting within businesses. Checkpoint labels or Checkpoint tags attached to your high theft merchandise sound an alarm should they leave your business without being paid for. The visual deterrent alone is enough to convince shoplifters to rethink stealing from businesses with Checkpoint systems.

Shoplifters tend to scope out a business before they consider it a target. When they are deciding where and what to steal, they are looking at your retail theft prevention options. When they see that you have Checkpoint labels or Checkpoint security tags, they are wary about attempting to steal from you. Shoplifters do not want attention, and thrive on that lack of attention in order to steal. So by having anti shoplifting devices such as Checkpoint security systems, you are telling the shoplifters that you are willing to provide them plenty of attention in order to protect your merchandise.

It’s a fact that businesses suffer loss due to theft. Businesses can, however, take proactive measures to reduce this loss as much as possible.

Physical security of your building assisted by Checkpoint Security Systems

Checkpoint security systems do more to benefit the store than what most understand. As a loss prevention professional I share the stories of success attributed to a well instituted Checkpoint Security System.

Checkpoint Security Systems have been around for years. My first experience with these advanced Checkpoint systems was at a drug store chain several years ago. Entering into the position, I quickly realized the store had no clue of what the checkpoint systems were all about. In addition to the store not knowing anything about them, I knew nothing either. I contacted out Checkpoint Security System representative and asked him to come out and give us a refresher on our Checkpoint Security System.

I invited members of management and key associates to this refresher, and focused on learning the Checkpoint systems myself. The rep. went on about the easy way the Checkpoint Security Systems operate and how the Checkpoint systems were the leaders in the industry. That was all good stuff, but what I wanted to know was how the Checkpoint Systems worked. He showed me a little square paper looking tag and called it a Checkpoint labels. He said this little Checkpoint labels could be affixed to almost any piece of merchandise we wanted to protect in the store. Checkpoint Security Systems work by recognizing the checkpoint labels as it passes through the Checkpoint Security System antennae. Ding, a bell went off. I realized I could better assist the store in protecting merchandise by ensuring their Checkpoint Security System was fully functional and being executed according to company standard.

As time went on, I learned the real life value of the Checkpoint Security systems and as the employees knowledge of the systems and checkpoint labels grew, so did the stores profits.

Fool me once… Don’t get ripped off buying a Checkpoint Security System

April 11, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

A few days ago I received a service call from a new client who needed service on an existing Checkpoint security system. The problem he was having is that two days after the system was installed it started to false alarm. After talking with the gentleman I found out that he had purchased the system from an uncertified company that was selling “refurbished” Checkpoint systems.

He had attempted to contact the company he had purchased the Checkpoint security system from but they were giving him the runaround and were not making any efforts to resolve his problem. After being unsuccessful with the “reseller of his refurbished system” he contacted Loss Prevention Systems, Inc. We promptly setup a service call scheduled for the following day. Upon arriving onsite the technician discovered what the problem was… everything.

The problem with an uncertified “reseller” is that they have not been adequately trained nor do they have the correct equipment to install a Checkpoint security system properly. If you have someone who does not know what they are doing, you risk a similar situation. From the unique type of wire that is used to the software that programs an antenna, only someone factory certified on Checkpoint systems will be able to ensure that your system will operate at its highest efficiency.

The “reseller” also sold this gentleman what he thought were Checkpoint labels. The problem was that the Checkpoint labels he bought were actually an aftermarket knockoff. These knockoff labels are very unreliable. Checkpoint labels are very hard to copy, these company’s that try to duplicate a label usually have at least one of two problems. Either a large number of labels will not alarm the system or it’s what is referred to as a “stubborn” label, which means that the label will not deactivate at the time of purchase and causes a properly purchased item to alarm a Checkpoint security system when your client leaves the store.

If you are considering purchasing a Checkpoint system, don’t make the mistake of using an uncertified reseller. Let us help you get the right parts at the right price the first time.

Visit the Retail Loss Prevention Store and stop shoplifting once and for all with a real retail theft prevention program.

What anti shoplifting efforts are effective?

April 9, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Anti shoplifting is the topic around many retail water coolers.

Honestly, one of the most impactful anti shoplifting devices anywhere is a savvy manager. Knowing what tools he has and needs and making a conscious effort to execute each appropriately can be the best for anti shoplifting.

Outside of the savvy manager, the next best tool for anti shoplifting is a Checkpoint Security system.

About 5 years ago, I walked a store that just had a Checkpoint Security System installed. Walking the various aisles, and inspecting the different merchandise, it was very apparent this store was using checkpoint labels and checkpoint tags. The Checkpoint Security System was up and running.
Weeks before, I had been in this store. Literally, it was being overrun with shoplifters. I walked in the front door, and was immediately confront by the manager on duty who told about a thief that just ran out of the back door with a bag of merchandise. Incredible? Indeed.

Too often I heard of this store getting ripped off by thieves because the store had no anti shoplifting program. The thieves knew this, and took advantage.

Almost immediately after installing the Checkpoint Security System and placing checkpoint labels and checkpoint tags on merchandise, shoplifting decreased. In some estimates, instances of shoplifting were reduced by as much as 70%. This was huge for this store.

A Checkpoint system can save you from a lot of headaches in your business. As a professional in the field of loss prevention and an advisor, I would recommend nothing less than solid store management that communicate company expectations, execute programs and ensure compliance. These managers would have the notion to ensure each of their stores was secured with a Checkpoint Security system.

Checkpoint Security Systems save retailers bottom line

April 7, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Checkpoint Security Systems have been around for years. Their effectiveness has been proven time and time again. However, there are still businesses out there they are either not using a Checkpoint Security System or not using the Checkpoint Security System effectively.

It’s one thing to invest your money into a product that has little value or that is disposable but will give you quick profit if marketed, merchandise and positioned appropriately. It’s another thing to invest your money into a product and not use it. True with many retailers today, a product like Checkpoint Security systems not being used or used effectively.
Checkpoint Security Systems offer the merchant visible presence to deter the professional and amateur thieves.

A manager and I were monitoring the Checkpoint Security System from his office one day. We saw an unusual looking customer enter his store. This guy was talking on his cellphone, paying more attention to the employees than the merchandise. He walked down aisle after aisle. Making his way back, he stopped at the health and beauty section of the store. He picked up a box of aspirin, looked at it and put it back. He picked up another. We weren’t sure what he was doing. On his third inspection of the aspirin box, we noticed him trying to peel the checkpoint labels attached to the product. Checkpoint labels make a great visible deterrent. The customer moved to another aisle, hair care. He picked up a bottle of shampoo, another one with Checkpoint Labels. Obviously upset, the customer uses his cellphone. Whoever he is talking with, he was not happy.

After reviewing footage from other theft incidents at this store, it was determined the customer we observed had been suspected in merchandise theft previously. Now that this store had a Checkpoint Security System, this customer lost his livelihood.

Increase profit and sales with Checkpoint systems

April 5, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

I helped investigate a case in which a group of individuals were targeting several different stores in the retail chain that I work for, stealing high dollar electronics. These individuals would distract employees near the front of the business and simply walk out of the store. In my own store, they walked out with ten electronics items over the course of two hours, making several trips in and out of the store. They were eventually caught in my store when retail anti theft devices alerted employees and the thieves were recognized from their previous thefts.

Many of the electronics items these individuals stole did not have anti shoplifting devices on them. They were not shipped with this protection by the manufacturer. However, if the merchandise had been protected by Checkpoint labels or Checkpoint tags, employees would have been alerted much sooner that these thefts were occurring. A loss similar to this in your business could be prevented by utilizing Checkpoint security systems.

Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels can be secured to virtually any type of merchandise that you choose. You know your merchandise and what is being stolen or unaccounted for due to shrink, so Checkpoint systems offer the freedom to choose what merchandise you wish or need to protect.

Businesses need to offer what the customer desires, and that is difficult to do if your shelves are often bare from stolen merchandise. Better instock is an additional benefit of anti shoplifting devices such as Checkpoint systems. Increased profit and increased sales can result also…there is nothing wrong with that!

Minimal investment, decreased loss, increased profit – these are all benefits of a reliable anti shoplifting approach such as Checkpoint security systems.

Retail theft prevention is on the minds of all business owners, perhaps now more than ever. In an economy that has been challenging, to say the least, businesses may be seeing an increase in theft and loss due to shoplifting. There are ways that business owners or managers can stop shoplifting within their businesses, and reduce some of that loss that is being experienced.

Anti shoplifting concepts might seem overwhelming to a business owner who is just starting to look into retail theft prevention. However, retail anti theft devices can be an excellent deterrent to shoplifting for businesses that are experiencing out of control loss due to theft.

Checkpoint security systems, for example, are a proven leader in the anti shoplifting world. By having Checkpoint security tags on items that a business sells, merchandise can be protected from the variety of ways that customers choose to steal.

Checkpoint systems also alert employees when merchandise is being stolen by sounding an alarm when the tagged merchandise is leaving your business without being purchased. This concept in itself can deter shoplifting, in the fact that shoplifters do not want the attention that Checkpoint tags may offer.

In the battle against shoplifting, business owners teach employees to acknowledge all customers and take note of their actions. But there are more customers than there are employees, so this task can sometimes be challenging.

By employing Checkpoint security systems, you can offer additional protection of your merchandise for much less than adding an excessive amount of additional employees.

Checkpoint labels and checkpoint tags applied to your high theft merchandise do the job of many employees by helping protect what could be lost. Expect increased profits and reduced loss should you utilize anti shoplifting measures such as Checkpoint security systems.

Checkpoint systems in combination with checkpoint labels and checkpoint security tags IS your all seeing guard at the front door! So stop shoplifting TODAY!

How Are You Attaching Your Checkpoint Tags?

March 29, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

How would you like to attach your Checkpoint tags? Pins, lanyards, ink or audible alarms? These are a few of the choices; let’s decide how many of these are right for you. Keep in mind that none of this will effect the detection of your Checkpoint systems.

Pins are the standard attachment devices used with Checkpoint tags. The tag is placed on one side and the pin is pushed through the item and into the tag. Once the pin is inside the tag it will not come loose without using a detacher. This is a very good way to keep checkpoint security tags on items to stop shoplifting. The downside with using pins is that you have to make a tiny puncture in the item that you are tagging. This is why lanyards are being used more and more everyday.

Lanyards allow for you to attach Checkpoint tags to merchandise without have to pierce the item. If you own a clothing store and you have a blouse with a very shear fabric, a lanyard works great. You would just wrap the lanyard around a loop or sleeve of the clothing and attach it to the tag. Lanyards are made out of hardened steel that makes it very difficult cut. You would need industrial wire cutters to have a chance at getting through the metal.

Do you need a more physical response to help stop shoplifting? Ink Checkpoint tags work great to stop shoplifting before it happens. The ink packet works as the pin attaching to a hard tag. If someone tries to remove the tag, the ink packet will break causing permanent ink to spill on him or her and the item. No one wants to steal ruined merchandise.

If you would like to draw more attention to a shoplifter than just Checkpoint systems alarming, I would recommend what is called a “Screamer” tag. It is the car alarm of the retail world. These checkpoint security tags have a very loud sounder attached to them. When a shoplifter tries to steal an item with one of these attached it not only sets off the Checkpoint systems but also goes into alarm itself. The sounder will alarm continuously until an authorized person disarms it.
