Have you ever heard someone say, “It was a great idea in theory”? Well that, all too often, is the thought process with RF security tags. They are a wonderful resource to help stop shoplifting. Unfortunately, without proper execution RF security tags won’t do much. They have a very limited level of effectiveness if the RF security tags are left sitting in a basket back in a corner of a stockroom.
Checkpoint security tags were designed to be out in the open. They are best when they are actually attached to a piece of merchandise. This is what sends the signal that you are going to stop shoplifting in your store.
A best practice to adopt regarding your Checkpoint security tags is to have a standard on how and where they tag should be attached. Will they go on every pair of jeans or just ones over a certain dollar amount? Should the tag be attached on the bottom right or left leg? How often is this standard reviewed – yearly? Post inventory?
Now that you know how and what, get a group of associates together for a Tagging Party. This is where you, as a group, actually put the tags onto your product. It will advance the quality of your staff in a few ways.
They will know what you expect from an execution standpoint.
They will know where the tags are, so they can deactivate them at the POS.
They are enjoying the success of a group instead of a mundane chore of an individual.
They are aware of high shrink items and can look for suspicious activity in those areas.
Make your tagging a group effort and watch as your shrink decreases!
