If a retailer has done it well, you should not be acutely aware of their Checkpoint Security System in use. It is their job to be discrete enough that you don’t feel like you are walking into Ft. Knox. You, as a customer should have a pleasant and enjoyable shopping experience while in their store.

If you are not a shopper, but a shoplifter, the Checkpoint System is designed for anti-shoplifting. By using a combination of retail theft prevention tools like cameras, EAS tags, alarms, and Public View Monitors, big box retailers know their security systems will stand out to those who are looking for them.

As a small business owner, it is ok to model your own loss prevention and security after the big box model. You may not need to incorporate all of the things that those big retailers do, but even a fraction of those tools will help you stop shoplifting in your store.

Not every retail theft prevention device needs to be used to make a Checkpoint security system complete. As long as you have the basics, you will be on your way to decreasing the potential for theft to occur in your store.

How do you stop shoplifting when the shoplifter doesn’t know that they are going to steal?  When opportunists are presented with the opportunity to steal they decide to take it. Well the reality is that retail theft prevention really can stop shoplifting by opportunist shoplifters.

I guess I should start at the beginning. You don’t have to be a mind reader or have a crystal ball. Opportunist shoplifters are shoplifters that don’t plan on coming into your store to steal. They are presented with a unique opportunity to steal an item or cause another form of loss to your store.

Have you ever given a cashier a bill and they gave you the wrong change back? I’ll bet you complained, that is if they shorted you money. What about if they gave you more back than they should have? Most of us still correct the error. What if you don’t realize the error until you get home? Did you drive all the way back to the store to give back the extra five or ten dollars? Chances are most of us wouldn’t. We would find a way to rationalize it in our heads that we are ok to keep the money.

That’s what opportunists do. They take an opportunity that they didn’t look for and cause a loss to you while rationalizing it in their minds. Checkpoint systems is designed for retail theft prevention keeping your customers in check and eliminating the opportunity. These shoplifters won’t go out of their way to defeat any anti-shoplifting devices.

Checkpoint security tags that have the ink packs inside of them (ink tags) are a great deterrent to stop shoplifting. The additional deterrent of the ink packs provide further reinforcement for shoplifters to leave these tags alone instead of trying to disarm them inside your store.

One of the biggest deterrents for shop owners over the years has been that the Checkpoint security tags have been serrated. That basically means they have tiny ridges that help keep the pin locked into place. It is a part of Checkpoint systems’ anti-shoplifting standards.

The reason why it is a deterrent for shop owners is that these serrations can snag delicate or stretchy fabrics. The owners have been willing to take the risk of shoplifters over the risk of damaging their fabrics either while attaching the pins, or during the deactivation process.

The good news to these shop owners is there is no longer a need to make that sort of decision. Checkpoint tags now come in the option of serrated pins or smooth ones. These smooth pins are much less likely to snag those more delicate fabrics.

Checkpoint systems have made a better option to help all shop owners stop shoplifting in their stores.

That basically means they have tiny ridges that help keep the pin locked into place. It is a part of anti-shoplifting standards used by Checkpoint Systems for retail theft prevention.

The reason why it is an unfortunate deterrent for shop owners is that these serrations can snag delicate or stretchy fabrics. These owners have been willing to take the risk of shoplifters over the risk of damaging their fabrics either while attaching the pins, or during the deactivation process. It is a hard decision to make; choosing between retail theft prevention and maintaining quality of merchandise standards for their customers.

Well there is good news for these shop owners. Checkpoint security systems have made a better option to help all shop owners stop shoplifting in their stores.

There are many parts of Checkpoint systems, each doing their own special part in Checkpoint Labels.

Most people are more familiar with their counter part – Checkpoint tags. Checkpoint tags are easily identified and are used in the majority of retailers who sell clothes. They are meant to be visible so people are aware of them.

Checkpoint labels, on the other hand, and not meant to be visible. They are a much more covert part of retail theft prevention. Checkpoint labels are most commonly found embedded in a price or manufacturer’s tag. They are an inexpensive way for retailer’s to protect their product because many vendors will put these embedded tags on at the point of distribution. This is called source tagging.

Other manufacturers are putting these Checkpoint labels actually inside of articles of clothing. There is a major shoe and clothing brand that puts these labels inside the lining of their shoes so thieves cannot find them to remove them.

Lastly you can order rolls of labels to put on merchandise at your own discretion based on your store’s anti-shoplifting needs.

Before you Checkpoint systems? It is almost like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg?

There really isn’t a good way to look at retail theft prevention. For many small business owners, installing Checkpoint systems might be more of a financial burden than what the payoff might be, that is until the shoplifting gets out of control. From a purely anti-shoplifting stance, it is better to be proactive than reactive. By having these systems already in place, you are being proactive in reducing and discouraging theft before it really begins to take hold.

If you are reactive to the situation, then by all means hurry and get your Checkpoint systems in place! Unfortunately, if you wait too long, you might be suffering an enormous amount of theft and consequent inventory loss. You are also letting your community know that your store is free game for theft. Word will spread quickly, and you will have to be extremely vigilant about shoplifting in your store well after you have the new security systems in place.

Having Checkpoint tags are still one of the most effective deterrents to stop shoplifting. This visual cue tells the potential thief that the merchandise is not an easy target. Checkpoint systems used for anti shoplifting will sound the alarm, alerting every one around of what is going on. No shoplifter ever wants to be noticed!

Retail theft prevention is often overcomplicated. Elaborate plans and programs are dreamt up and put into place only to fail time and time again. The plans could require more personnel that what payroll hours will allow.

These plans might require complicated validation procedures that impede or offend the real customer and miss the actual criminals. There is nothing worse than holding up a real customer in the front of a line to validate a price or a receipt. The customers end up walking away feeling violated and embarrassed. The other customers in line are often held up too.

No customer wants to be stuck in a checkout line for any length of time, especially because a manager has to be called over to validate something.

There is a reason why Checkpoint tags work so well for retail theft prevention after all of these years. Simply put- it is because they work to stop shoplifting.

I would like to focus on what I like to call the unsung hero – Checkpoint Labels.

Even though there are many components of Checkpoint systems, each doing their own special part to stop shoplifting, most people are more familiar with their counter part – Checkpoint tags.  Because Checkpoint tags are a visible deterrent to help stop shoplifting, people notice them whether they are trying to steal or not.

Checkpoint labels, on the other hand, are not meant to be visible. They are a much more covert part of Checkpoint systems components for retail theft prevention. Checkpoint labels are commonly found embedded in a price or manufacturer’s tag. They are an inexpensive way for retailer’s to protect their product because many vendors will put these embedded tags on at the point of distribution. This is called source tagging.

Other manufacturers are putting these labels actually inside of articles of clothing. There is a major shoe and clothing brand that puts these labels inside the lining of their shoes so thieves cannot find them to remove them.

Lastly you can order rolls of labels to put on merchandise at your own discretion based on your store’s needs. It’s not always about being in the front lines to be able to play your part in retail theft prevention.

There really isn’t a good way to look at Checkpoint systems might be more of a financial burden than what the payoff might be, that is until the shoplifting gets out of control.

From a retail theft prevention standpoint, it is better to be proactive than reactive. By proactively installing Checkpoint systems, you are reducing and discouraging theft before it really begins to take hold.

From a reactionary stance, yes, you will save money initially by not investing in the Checkpoint systems. Unfortunately, if you wait too long, you might be suffering an enormous amount of theft and consequent inventory loss. At that point you will have to take the additional financial hit of adding in the anti-shoplifting security to mitigate or stop shoplifting in your store.

You are also letting your community know that your store is free game for theft. Word will spread quickly, and you will have to be extremely vigilant about shoplifting in your store well after you have the new security systems in place.

Wouldn’t it be better to have your security installed at a time that you choose where you can ease the transition of the expense, rather than waiting until you are already under the gun to spend even more money?

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

There are two main components for effective anti shoplifting. The towers, which are stationed at an entrance door, and the Checkpoint tags.

The towers flank the door and send out a signal, creating a sort of force field around your door. An audible alarm is generated any time a tag enters this field. 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. This is what retail theft prevention is all about.

Checkpoint tags and the rest of the Checkpoint Security System offer a simple for of retail theft prevention. It gives the store’s employees a cue as to what is going on. No one needs to be a great detective or to be asked to engage in a risky confrontation.

The Checkpoint System goes off and the employee politely responds to the alarm. If a shoplifter sees an alarm going off, with an employee’s response, they can assume that the same will happen to them if they set the alarm off too.
