Anti shoplifting Programs Keep Profits Posted

As if you didn’t already know, anti shoplifting programs keep your merchandise ready and available for customers to purchase. I find it very interesting that in today’s economic conditions, stores do not increase their anti shoplifting programs.

It’s a matter of fact, when the economy is down in the dump, levels of crime increase. None is more true that the act of shoplifting. As a former store manager, I couldn’t imagine myself running a store without a security program or more specifically, a Checkpoint security system. Checkpoint security systems are the most trusted, in my experience, with deterring instances of shoplifting. If you’ve never heard of checkpoint security systems, these checkpoint systems are a system of antenna’s placed at the entrance and exits of stores (some stores have them near restrooms and fitting rooms) and detect merchandise with checkpoint security tags attached. As the checkpoint tags pass through the system, typically the potential shoplifter drops the merchandise and flees. Retail anti theft devices like checkpoint systems not only help stop shoplifting but are an important part of any successful retail theft prevention program.

A co manager of mine was assigned to a store without checkpoint security systems. He was probably the most active advocate of retail anti theft devices I’ve ever met. This guy truly saw the importance of a checkpoint security system and its role on impacting profits. He complained to the main office and had a checkpoint security system installed with 45 days of taking over the store. All merchandise that could receive checkpoint labels, got checkpoint labels attached. His store was well protected. Checkpoint labels, like checkpoint tags, work well on smaller easier to conceal items. His efforts to stop shoplifting paid off when inventory came around. His shrink or loss as a percent to sales was lower than expected and his sales were 8% higher than the prior year. When he was asked what he did to so dramatically impact and improve his store, he replied “Due diligence, hard work, and Checkpoint security systems!” A store without a retail theft prevention program will suffer.
