Fragrances, watches and jewelry can be easily concealed in a purse or shopping bag.  As a matter of fact fragrance gift sets that are widely available during the holidays just walk right out the door sometimes without being concealed. 

 I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times… literally! 

 If you want to stop shoplifting you must be proactively protecting your inventory and checkpoint labels are a good place to start.  RF security labels are similar to the RF security tags or sensor tags placed on clothing items.  They act as a physical inventory tracking devices and can be great deterrents to help stop shoplifting.

 Most of the retailers I’ve worked for over the years use both overt and covert methods for tracking merchandise by using RF labels. You can place an RF label in plain sight on a merchandise tag or discreetly conceal it within a package.  You can even get creative and have RF labels customized with barcodes so they can be concealed in plain sight. 

When merchandise is purchased the RF security tags are deactivated during checkout.  If the merchandise is not purchased and someone attempts to leave the store with an activated RF label the checkpoint security tag will alert the staff that someone has just shoplifted and you can take action.

 Checkpoint labels are easy to apply and difficult to remove.  I’ve caught a large number of shoplifters trying to steal fragrance gift sets and watches over the years because the dishonest customers attempt to remove the RF security labels before they leave the store. 

 Attempting to remove RF labels will force shoplifters to reveal themselves and their true intentions.

The problem with applying RF labels to health and beauty products has always been that there is not enough space on the box to place the RF label. You always end up covering the directions or ingredients. Now that is no longer an issue with Checkpoint labels new See-Thru HBC RF Label.

 With its clear polyurethane design, it allows you to place the RF security labels directly over the barcode. Using this design allows you to use Checkpoint security tags without covering up important parts of the box while still being able to scan said product.

RF security labels, the business owners secret weapon to stop shoplifting. I have always been a huge fan of RF label technology. I have apprehended many shoplifters in my day who foolishly attempted to remove checkpoint security tags or conceal product tagged with RF security labels. Checkpoint in particular has evolved this technology over the years to near perfection.

The Checkpoint labels, soft tags, have become so much more durable and stick to almost every product imaginable. Everything from books, to music, to movies to shoes to fragrances can utilize the RF label. In the beginning many years ago the RF security labels would not stick to product and sometimes fell off, that issue has since been remedied. RF labels are one of the most dependable checkpoint security tags companies use today.

Larger companies even employ source tagging which allows all specified product to be tagged with RF labels at the distribution center thus saving payroll hours at the store level. Instead of a store location spending time and effort to tag and then merchandise product as an added step of the shipment receiving process items are tagged with Checkpoint labels and audited at the distribution center thus allowing payroll to be utilized more effectively.  

Another positive point about the checkpoint labels is that it is by no means easily removed from tagged product without bringing attention to yourself on the sales floor. The last suspect I caught had been attempting to remove RF security tags from sneakers. The suspect was not only drawing attention he was visibly frustrated that the RF labels were not easily removed. He then proceeded to put the still tagged shoes in his bag and attempt to leave the store where he was met by me, my staff and the checkpoint pedestal alarm.  This goes a long way to stop shoplifting.

Also, many businesses will hide the soft tag while letting customers know clearly through store signage that the Checkpoint security tags are used and will result in an alarm if removed from the store without first being deactivated and or removed. When a shoplifter knows there is a checkpoint system using RF security tags that they may or may not see it gives them pause to steal since they do not know where the product is tagged. Clearly showing all customers that you employ and checkpoint system will bring you ever closer to your goal to stop shoplifting.

The highest shrink categories I experienced in larger store locations were fragrances and jewelry accessories. There was always a battle to lock all of these items up thus reducing the potential for sales. The RF label system allows businesses to maximize sales potential and merchandise the product in a way that it is pleasing to the customer. The key to ensuring your highest shrink categories are protected by the RF security tags is to make sure the store staff tags all specified product properly and that vulnerable product is audited for tagging compliance.

The use of checkpoint labels is a proven method to stop shoplifting. 

 Why?

 Most theft is conducted by opportunists who looking for vulnerable merchandise.  To stop shoplifting and retailer must limit the number of opportunities a shoplifter has to steal something.

 Major retailers will use an RF label to track accessories like jewelry and watches or fragrances because they can be concealed easily.  Grocery stores will typically place RF security labels on expensive meats in a cooler or wine on display. 

 Checkpoint security tags are successful because they alert a staff member when someone attempts to leave the store with unprocessed merchandise.

 Checkpoint labels and RF labels are easy to use and cost effective.  During the course of merchandising your products all you need to do is place the RF labels or checkpoint security tags on each item you wish to track.

 RF labels can be attached to merchandise using a fast drying adhesive that make them difficult to remove.  When a customer purchases a piece of merchandise the RF label is deactivated at the checkout counter. 

 A company I once worked for placed RF security labels on all accessories merchandise.  One summer afternoon last year 6 teenagers skipped school and decided to do a little shoplifting in our store.  They selected close to $500 USD in silver pendant bracelets and attempted to leave the store by placing them on their body to give the impression they had been purchased. 

 When they walked through our sensors the store alarms were activated.  The teenagers were so scared they started removing the merchandise as quickly as possible.  They eventually “dumped” the merchandise at the entrance to the store and ran out of the mall.

 We never saw them back in the store after that incident.

Security labels have been used for decades to help stores stop shoplifting.  There are several different types that have been developed throughout the years.  The most reliable solutions available today are RF security labels and RF security tag s.  RF labels and RF security tags work on a Radio Frequency.  This is important as the Radio Frequency helps prevent the troublesome false alarms that other systems have.  Since the systems are tuned to a specific frequency it is less likely that a cell phone or car door key fob will set off a false alarm as they are not on the same frequency as the system.  This is a huge win for customer service and employee productivity.

 One of the top manufacturers of RF security labels and RF security tags is Checkpoint systems.  The Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags are well known within both the Loss Prevention community as well as the shoplifting community.  I would have to say the latter is probably more important because the recognition of Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags by the shoplifters is what will ultimately stop shoplifting.  Shoplifters do not want recognition in stores.  They are more likely to steal from a store without RF labels then they are one that does have them.  The shoplifters who will steal clothes with RF security tags will generally try to defeat the tag first.  Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags are very hard to defeat so it further deters theft from your store.  While it is possible to do business in today’s economy without using RF security labels, I really don’t recommend it.

There are three main categories of shoplifters; the Opportunist, the Amateur, and the Professional. The Opportunist can be quite problematic, as they never plan in advance on stealing. They are presented with an opportunity such as getting back incorrect change at the register, a cashier not ringing up all items, or clothes left in a fitting room. The situation will get the better of them, and they will cause a loss to your store.

 So how can you stop shoplifting when it seems that they only steal by chance? It is all in the preparation. By using Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags you can greatly decrease the opportunity to have your merchandise stolen.

 If a shirt is left in a fitting room and a customer goes in to try on some clothes, they may consider stealing that shirt since the employees don’t know its there. They will, however, look to see if there is an RF label or RF security tag. If one is present, they will leave the shirt and go about their business as they normally would.

 Same goes for smaller items like jewelry or wallets. If this customer notices no one paying attention as they shop this area, they are again presented with an opportunity to steal. As they consider slipping that wallet into their purse, They will look inside for signs of RF security labels or some sort of Checkpoint security tag.

 Using RF security labels and RF security tags is one of the easiest, cost effective deterrents to help stop shoplifting in your store. Once they are on your merchandise, they will stay on until removed at the point of sale. This visual presence will scare off the Opportunist shoplifter in your store.
