Are you missing random quantities of merchandise? Perhaps items that aren’t normally on your high shrink list? If you are, then you are probably being hit by an amateur shoplifter.

 What is an amateur shoplifter?  They can be anyone who enters your store with the intent to steal. It can be a teenager on a dare, a grandmother on a fixed income, or even a mother with a small baby. The first shoplifter I ever caught, put over 200 dollars in clothing under her baby in a stroller.

 The use of Checkpoint Security tags or RF security tags probably would have been enough of a deterrent for her. As I watched her picking up clothes, she would check each one for an RF security tag. If the garment didn’t have the Checkpoint security tag , she put the item into her stroller. 

 Amateurs are not hardened criminals. The last thing they want is to be caught. Using RF labels on smaller items and RF security tags on clothing, bags, and shoes greatly reduces the losses to this particular type of thief. They do not want to run the risk of exposure. RF security labels and RF security tags  are near impossible to remove on their own, and these thieves know the alarm will sound if they try to leave with the merchandise. They know it its in their best interest to go to a different store and leave yours alone.

Have you ever wondered how Checkpoint Security Tags stop shoplifting? The answer is easy once you understand how Checkpoint labels work.

 There are two main components to the Checkpoint system. The towers, which are stationed at an entrance door, and the RF Security tags or  RF Security labels.

 The Towers flank the door and send out a signal, creating a sort of force field around your door. Any time RF security labels or RF security tags enter this field, an audible alarm is generated. This alerts your staff to the door to offer quality customer service to validate a false alarm, or ultimately to recognize a theft in progress.

 By just having the Checkpoint system at your door, many would be thieves will bypass your establishment, because you are not an easy target to hit. This element, in itself, helps stop shoplifting in your store.

 The Checkpoint Security tags will also stop shoplifting by providing another visual cue. These RF Security tags affixed to garments are only deactivated when removed by a store associate. If you can’t remove the tag, the garment is useless to a shoplifter.

 The final deterrent to stop shoplifting in your store, is the Checkpoint Label. These RF Labels are paper thin and can be applied to any sort of packaging, inside of wallets, or even in the pocket of a jacket.  This allows the legitimate customer to fully shop even the smallest item, and you are still protected. If an item with an RF Label that has not been deactivated goes out a door, the alarm will go off, and many times the shoplifter will leave the product and run away to prevent their apprehension.

     In the security industry many different things are used to try and stop shoplifting. One of these devices are called RF labels. An RF label which stands for Radio Frequency label. An RF label is placed inside any kind of merchandise from electronics, health & Beauty aids and various other items.  The RF security labels work together with an EAS system which omits a radio signal which alarms the EAS sensor when unpaid merchandise leaves premises.  There are also Decoy RF Label which don’t omit a signal but gives the impression it does light a regular RF labels.

      Checkpoint security tags and checkpoint labels each do their part to stop shoplifting. They work in the same way that RF labels work they work together with an EAS system setting off an alarm when unpaid merchandise leaves premises. But when placing these RF labels and RF security tags one must placed them so they can be undetectable by shoplifters.

      Early in my career I was trained to place two RF labels on an item the shoplifter would see this and remove the first RF label never bothering to check for any other RF security tags. Checkpoint security tags do work as long as they are placed properly on the merchandise. Some items already come with RF security labels from the warehouse. But there are still many items that need to have the RF security labels placed on them. So employees have to place the RF security tags on the merchandise and they must be shown how to do this properly to stop shoplifting. 

      So checkpoint labels and checkpoint security tags are a great way to protect a company’s assets. So if retail theft is an issue consider using checkpoint labels, checkpoint security tags and RF security labels. They may look small but they pack a big punch when it comes to deterring shoplifting

Have you thought about using an EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) system in your store? There are many forms of RF security systems out there; the best ones, however, use paper-thin RF security labels and the industry standard in the RF label world is Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags. RF security tags are small hard plastic clothing tags that are nearly impossible to remove without a special key kept next to your registers.

 You have probably noticed clothing tags on your floor or shoved into shelves and empty hangers. Unfortunately, shoplifters have realized that you aren’t using RF security tags or RF labels and you are an easy target. They run no risk of being seen attempting to remove an RF label and you aren’t using an EAS system to sound off when they take your merchandise. The only way to stop shoplifting now is to start taking it seriously.

 You need to invest in RF labels and RF security tags. Shoplifters rely on anonymity to steal things. They don’t want to be noticed doing their evil deeds. When a criminal sees RF tags on clothing they are an automatic visual deterrent. No shoplifter wants to risk an RF security system going off and alerting everyone in the store that they’re trying to walk out with active RF security labels. It’s a small investment to protect your inventory and let shoplifters know you are no longer the easy target they’re after!

If you pay an employee you expect him/her to work, right?  Well the same should go for the anti-theft devices you buy.  With the economy the way it is, we are all concerned with expenses.  That said, you have to have employees in order to make sales and in the same regards you have to utilize stop shoplifting tools in order to protect the profit from those sales.

 So how can you make anti-theft products “work”?  There are several ways.  First, you have to have the proper employees.  Checkpoint Systems is a leader in innovative stop shoplifting tools, such as RF security tags, RF labels, cameras, clothing alarms, etc.  So now that we have hired the right “employee” in Checkpoint Security Systems, we need to do the training. 

 Systems are only as good as the people who work them.  Managers need to be properly trained on how to use the Checkpoint System cameras if they are going to track known shoplifters and avoid getting repeatedly hit by the same thieves.  Cashiers and other associates need to be trained on the EAS system so they know how to apply Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags in the correct locations and respond to the alarms properly.  (A few tips on the RF security tags and RF security labels placement.  Put hard tags in seams of product to avoid damaging the merchandise.  Put an RF label near the barcodes (preferably on the inside of the package if possible) to help ensure deactivation at the register.)

 Finally, you have to manage the program.  Shoplifting prevention is not a hand off process.  It requires monitoring, regular follow up to ensure proper functionality and fine-tuning; just like the rest of your employees. Make sure that your employees are placing the RF labels in the proper locations. You will also want to make sure that they are not placing the RF security labels directly on metal surfaces.  The good thing is Checkpoint systems offers great service to assist you in this process.

Anti-theft RF security tags used as part of a stop shoplifting plan along with RF security system EAS protection of vulnerable high theft merchandise is alarming!

 The shoplifters think it’s alarming because once the RF security system is installed in the store; they will have to decide on another retailer to visit in order to continue to commit their crime undetected.  The customer can’t remove the Checkpoint security tags once they’re attached.

 RF labels are also alarming when it passes through the detection field of the Checkpoint security system’s antennas located at the store’s entrance.  The audible alarm and flashing light (on most models) alert store staff to the fact that an RF label is still attached to articles that are leaving the store and require attention.  An employee using a special detacher specifically designed by Checkpoint security systems removes the RF security tags or deactivates the RF security labels at the point of sale. 

 Anti-theft applications for the RF security tags are designed for almost any type of merchandise, including specialty items.  The RF (Radio Frequency) technology used in Checkpoint systems is the very latest and most advanced in the industry for retailers.  Also alarming for shoplifters is that the retailer can pick and choose which merchandise to protect.  Shoplifters will definitely avoid stores that utilize a Checkpoint system as part of its stop shoplifting strategy.  Apparel, sports gear, hardware, electronics, and almost any other type of merchandise you can imagine can be protected by one of Checkpoint security systems’ selection of hard tags or Checkpoint Labels.

 An RF labels is best suited for items that a tag won’t work well on because of size or material, such as boxed or packaged items.

 One thing a retailer won’t be alarmed about is the improvement in inventory shortage figures once an anti-theft program including a Checkpoint system, RF Labels or RF security labels are used in their store.

A few days ago I received a service call from a new client who needed service on an existing Checkpoint system that he had purchased to stop shoplifting at his retail store. 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 security systems. 

 He had attempted to contact the company he had purchased the Checkpoint 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 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 security 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 security tags and Checkpoint labels. The problem was that the RF labels he bought were actually an aftermarket knockoff RF label. These knockoff RF labels are very unreliable. Genuine Checkpoint RF security labels and RF security tags are very hard to copy, these company’s that try to duplicate an RF label usually have at least one of two problems. Either a large number of RF security 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 system when your client leaves the store.

 If you are considering purchasing a Checkpoint security system and RF security tags, 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.

There is no common conclusion among retailers on what constitutes the best anti-theft device.  There are all kinds of tools that the retailer can use to keep shoplifting under control depending on the severity and frequency of theft, the category and price point of merchandise displayed and the actual location of the store itself.  The common denominator seems to be that no matter what stop shoplifting measures the retailer takes; the shoplifter will always try to find a way to defeat it.

 Convex mirrors, visible cameras, and two way mirrors are easily seen and avoided by shoplifters, as are sales people and other employees.  All a shoplifter needs is a second of privacy hidden from view to conceal merchandise and be out of the store with it.

 Checkpoint Systems has a theft prevention plan designed to stop shoplifting by all but the most determined shoplifters. 

 The retailer makes the decision as to the criteria of the merchandise to be protected.  RF labels or RF security tags are attached to that merchandise and effectively ensures that a shoplifter will not steal it.

 RF security labels are placed on the packaging of merchandise considered high theft.  There are large selections of RF labels available from Checkpoint Security Systems that attach to the packages with adhesive or are hidden inside the merchandise so that it is not visible to the customer.  If an RF label has not been deactivated by an employee and is carried out the door, an alarm will sound, alerting the staff to take action.

 The Checkpoint security tags attach to apparel and ready to wear by a pin that goes through the garment in an inconspicuous place and secures the tag to the garment.  The RF security tags can be removed only with a special detacher.  As with the label, failure to remove the tag will result in an audible alarm at the exit.

 Checkpoint systems, when combined with any RF label, can help any retailer who wants to cut his losses due to shoplifting.  The presence of the Checkpoint system alone deters most shoplifters since it is visible but not intimidating at the customer entrance and the Checkpoint labels and RF security labels are extremely difficult to remove or defeat.

 Used by themselves or with other retail theft prevention tools, Checkpoint systems and RF security labels will significantly decrease a retailer’s loss to customer theft.

Any retailer who has a high shrink figure knows it’s time to increase the loss prevention effort at his business.  Most estimates attribute 33 to 50% of all shrink to shoplifters.

 There are plenty of anti-theft devices on the market that promise to stop shoplifting altogether or at least greatly reduce it.  Some do and some don’t, some are enormously expensive and some are reasonable. 

 Retailers have shown measurable results when using anti-theft devices made by Checkpoint Security Systems, including pedestals, Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags help to reduce shoplifting losses in their businesses.  Using Checkpoint Systems anti-theft devices properly as part of a stop shoplifting strategy, with the application of RF labels and RF security tags to high risk merchandise shows shoplifters that the retailer is serious about their means to stop shoplifting from occurring and has committed to not being a victim of thieves.

 First of all the pedestal (the detection part) of the Checkpoint Systems equipment is visible to customers who enter the store, but it is not at all intimidating.  In fact, there are models that accept advertising panels in them to bring attention to sales or other information.  Checkpoint Systems has designed RF security tags and RF labels to protect almost any type and style of merchandise, from ready to wear to hardware, depending on the needs of the retailer.

 Next an RF label or RF security labels can only be removed or deactivated at the point of sale by the cashier who has access to special equipment designed for this purpose.  When an active tag or RF label passes through the pedestal’s field, an alarm sounds and a light flashes, alerting the staff as well as the customer that there is merchandise that needs attention.  Staff receives special training available from Checkpoint Security Systems that instructs them how to handle an alarm condition with the customer and the equipment.

 The Checkpoint System, with the help of RF security labels, provides both deterrence and detection at a very affordable and economical price.
