Checkpoint Security Systems Work to Protect Your Profits

June 24, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Checkpoint Security Systems have been around a long time. The story remains the same with these guys. They are in it to protect your profits and make your business grow with their retail theft prevention solutions.

It’s hard to imagine, but there are still retailers out there not using Checkpoint Security Systems. In fact, the other day, I was working with a business partner at a major retailer. Entering one of his stores, It was completely obvious checkpoint security systems were not present. I thought maybe this particular location just opened and the checkpoint security systems installation had not yet taken place. I asked my friend. He has been in retail for several years as well, and told me that this company doesn’t use Checkpoint Security Systems but that was something he and other LP professionals were trying to get. I couldn’t imagine this company without Checkpoint Systems.

Checkpoint systems retail theft prevention solutions are relatively straightforward. Antennae’s are installed, checkpoint labels and checkpoint security tags are attached to merchandise and the employees are trained. Most companies actually show the employees a step by step example of how to apply checkpoint labels and checkpoint security tags. I think this an important step. Sometimes checkpoint labels and checkpoint security tags, when affixed to merchandise, can block potentially vital information. Coaching and training employees on how and where to attach the checkpoint labels is important and should be done regularly.

As a loss prevention professional, upon the very first visit to any new store or company, one of the first things I look for are the checkpoint systems. Once observed, I’ll walk ever section needing checkpoint labels and checkpoint security tags and make sure the store is compliant. I personally am still amazed to see some stores with all the retail theft prevention tools to boost their profits, sitting in the back rooms collecting dust.

Get your checkpoint systems organized and running. Do yourself and your company a favor, boost your profits and protect your assets with checkpoint systems.

Protecting your Merchandise with Checkpoint Systems

June 22, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

I’ve learned after working a few years in retail theft prevention that shoplifters come in all shapes and sizes. They are all ages, all backgrounds, and all classes of people. I’ve also learned that while some are obvious as to what their intentions are when they enter your business, others have learned to blend in and do their work virtually undetected. Your shrink dollars and unaccounted for merchandise tells you that they have been there – but you are only left reeling in their wake.

Anti shoplifting devices can help deter these shoplifters when you might not otherwise be able to. A business can be fully staffed and still employees can miss the tell-tale signs of a potential shoplifter. Or that shoplifter might just be well rehearsed with his or her technique for stealing. With retail anti theft devices such as Checkpoint security systems Checkpoint Tags, your merchandise itself can protect your assets and increase your profits.

Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags can be affixed to your high ticket and high theft merchandise. With Checkpoint systems in place, your merchandise can essentially defend itself. The sneaky shoplifter who might otherwise steal from you will reconsider when they see that you have invested in retail theft prevention measures. Checkpoint tags or Checkpoint labels deter these shoplifters simply by being there.

Any person who walks into your business could be a shoplifter. They aren’t all shoplifters, but there are more than you might suspect. By utilizing anti shoplifting options such as Checkpoint systems, you can let the retail anti theft devices do the work of reducing the shrink and loss experienced at the hands of these people.

Clothing Security Tags Protect Profits

June 20, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Clothing security tags with a clothing alarm really do increase profits. There are many managers out there that either don’t wanna see the profitability or can’t see it. To those managers, I say they are using Clothing Security tags incorrectly.

Clothing security tags work to secure profits a couple of different ways. From the visual aspect of clothing alarm and clothing security tags to the actual protection of merchandise, clothing security boost your profits.

Recently, I visited a store where the manager refused to follow the clothing security program as required by the company. He was somewhat rogue, maybe even a bit cynical, whatever it was, and it didn’t work to his benefit. I walked several areas of the store and noticed roughly 75% of the merchandise that need clothing security tags was untouched. I completed a quick cycle count of merchandise and looked at the sales for these items. I found on the men shirts rack that at least 10 shirts were missing. After walking the stockrooms and looking for the items, the explanation was clearer. Theses shirts arrived to the store 3 days earlier, and according to the workload schedule, the shirts were definitely put out on the salesfloor. These shirts retailed at $49.99 each and were suppose to be fitted with some form of clothing security. Not at this store. The manager didn’t see any value in security tags on clothes. In fact, he believed the merchandise was better to stuffed out onto the salesfloor and sell it quick. It’s a nice theory if we lived in a perfect world. However, without security tags on clothes and a clothing alarm the merchandise would leave the building quicker than by selling it.

Security tags on clothes woulda have worked to protect this merchandise better. However, without complete employee/manager buy in, no clothing security program can work. Security tags on clothes takes a team effort, and is important if any business wants to succeed.

June 19, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Wherever I go and whomever I talk to in this field I hear the same complaint: It’s nearly impossible to stop shoplifting in fitting rooms. The biggest reason for this difficulty is the inability of most retailers to spend the payroll to employ a dedicated fitting room attendant; someone who can provide a superior level of customer service to everyone using the fitting rooms, while (most importantly) discouraging any would-be shoplifters from concealing merchandise while inside of the secluded spaces. What’s the solution to making your fitting room an anti shoplifting zone? Checkpoint Systems retail anti theft devices.

Checkpoint Systems offers Fully Integrated Tags (FIT) which provide branding, data and security in a single tag. Using these Checkpoint labels means that when a crook enters the fitting room with the intent to steal and look for the usual retail anti theft devices (i.e. EAS or ink tags) and find none they’ll believe they’re in the clear. It’s not until the bells and whistles start going off that they’ll realize that something has gone terribly wrong with their plan. They have just walked through an anti shoplifting zone.

In addition to helping you stop shoplifting, Checkpoint labels retail anti theft devices also afford retailers with the ability to speed merchandise to the shelf. This can save you valuable man hours which you can in turn use to increase profits by focusing on sales, customer service or by employing a dedicated fitting room attendant to further cut down on shrink within your organization.

The Many Benefits of Checkpoint Security Systems

June 15, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

As a manager in retail, Checkpoint Security Systems have provided more than a deterrent to stop shoplifting, it provides anti shoplifting satisfaction.

Retail is a tough business. Many different risks are thrown at you daily. As a manager, I remember feeling helpless at times, and somewhat overrun with shoplifters. But what could I do to stop shoplifting? I mean, at the time, I believed I tried every anti shoplifting precaution I knew of. I even went so far as to personally stand at the exits and monitor what was going out of the doors. How productive was that? Not my best idea. To stop shoplifting, I had to really come up with a better solution. A co manager told me about Checkpoint Security Systems. He had used Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags at a drugstore he had worked in. He told me of the solutions Checkpoint Security systems offered that business and how the simple application of Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint labels cut their loss to theft way back. I took the information and shared it with the business owners. A couple of months passed, and I received the news. Checkpoint security systems were approved for installation in my store. Excited about the pending install, I spoke with my store team and told them about the new Checkpoint security systems and how they worked. This store team had been working on constructive ideas to stop shoplifting, yet nothing really seemed to work. We knew the environment we were in and we needed help. I believe checkpoint systems were just what we needed.

The installation came, and the checkpoint systems were installed. As time went on, we saw the immediate payback and checkpoint systems did help reduce and stop shoplifting. There was originally some worry that the Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels might hinder shoppers and hurt our sales, however, the checkpoint systems were so effective for us; our sales increased and inventory results improved more than 1.5% (percent to sales).

Any manager or business owner looking to impact sales and protect their profits, I’d recommend looking into Checkpoint Systems… the product helped me manage my business and boost my profits.

Anti Shoplifting Approach for Juveniles Atlanta Georgia

June 13, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Unsupervised juvenile shoppers sometimes require their own anti shoplifting attention. Unfortunately teenagers are still developing their sense of right and wrong as well as trying to rebel against authority. So just what is best way to handle suspicious teenagers without chewing them up and spitting them out?

Although youthful shoplifters may appear bold at times, that is usually just to impress their peers. They of course prefer to avoid detection, or in some cases find a reason not to shoplift. In ten years of working with a local county juvenile probation department in their anti shoplifting campaign, I came across very few juvenile offenders who were alone when the committed the act of shoplifting.

Given that all shoplifters, particularly young and relatively inexperienced ones, want to choose the easiest target possible as a victim, retailers who have installed retail anti theft devices like those manufactured by Checkpoint Security Systems have the best chance of deterring potential juvenile shoplifters from committing their crimes.

Clothing is a prime target of teenagers, particularly females. Clothing is one of the easiest items of merchandise to protect using Checkpoint Security Systems retail anti theft devices. Simply place Checkpoint tags or Checkpoint labels on the merchandise you are having theft problems with and they will stop shoplifting almost 100% of the time. Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint Labels are virtually impossible to remove (use genuine Checkpoint Security Systems equipment, not a cheap knockoff that can be easily defeated) by a potential shoplifter. Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint labels are a visual deterrent to most would be shoplifters and will effectively stop shoplifting from most teens, especially the ones looking for a reason not to shoplift in the first place.

So the good news is that while youthful shoplifters seem to be everywhere, they are relatively easy to prevent. With a few simple anti shoplifting tools a retailer can protect their assets from teens. If a retailer depends on Checkpoint Security Systems retail anti theft devices to protect his merchandise he will have far fewer problems than one who doesn’t.

Anti Shoplifting Gets a Boost – Atlanta Georgia

June 10, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

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

There are plenty of retail 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 retail anti theft devices made by Checkpoint Security Systems, including pedestals, Checkpoint tags, and Checkpoint labels to reduce shoplifting losses in their businesses. Using Checkpoint Security Systems retail anti theft devices properly as part of an anti shoplifting strategy, with the application of Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint tags to high risk merchandise shows shoplifters that the retailer is serious about their means to stop shoplifting 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 Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels to protect almost any type and style of merchandise, from ready to wear to hardware, depending on the needs of the retailer.

Next the Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint 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 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 Systems that instructs them how to handle an alarm condition with the customer and the equipment.

The Checkpoint Security System provides both deterrence and detection at a very affordable and economical price.

The Key to Retail Theft Prevention

June 8, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

As a business in the U.S. today, with an economy that is tough (to say the least) it is important to maintain retail theft prevention.

There are a lot of things to consider with retail theft prevention and anti shoplifting initiatives. Everything from store hours to merchandise protection standards have to be looked at. How can a small chain of stores with limited resources create a retail theft prevention environment? Well it’s not as difficult as it sounds. Normal anti shoplifting initiatives will take money up front, but if you want to stop shoplifting and boost profits bring in consultants. Trying to do it yourself will only create a headache and lost dollars that could have been used to pay for a consultation in the first place. To stop shoplifting, you must know where you are being hit the hardest and what solutions are available to prevent it. Typical shoplifters go for the merchandise that is easily accessible, and have no retail anti theft devices like Checkpoint security tags with a Checkpoint Security System; merchandise can easily be taken from the store and sold for fast cash. Retail theft prevention involves rolling up your sleeves, taking a good solid look at the business and realizing what anti shoplifting initiatives it will truly take to stop shoplifting or significantly impact it. Retail anti theft devices, such as Checkpoint security tags with a Checkpoint Security System, are good solutions, however, without the appropriate knowledge and execution may prove ineffective.

As an industry professional for many years, I have had the opportunity to see and incorporate programs that have successfully impacted loss and have seen the benefits of a retail theft prevention program from its inception. Part of any program to stop shoplifting has to involve retail anti theft devices. As they work, retail anti theft devices will protect your merchandise and boost your profits, but only if you execute the program properly. Retail anti theft devices keep your merchandise is store and available for customers to buy.

Finally an Anti Shoplifting wave hits the retail world.

June 5, 2011 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Wouldn’t it be great if instead of a crime wave an anti shoplifting wave hit your store? The problem with this idea is that most retailers don’t think about how they can stop shoplifting until they have fallen victim to it. If a retailer is waiting to experience shoplifting to engage in anti shoplifting efforts, he’ll close his business first.

Finding ways to make stores anti shoplifting is a large part of the retail world. Every day, managers and business owners walk their stores and shops wondering if they are doing enough to stop shoplifting and protect their assets and boost their profits. Are they making any impact? If the retailer isn’t using retail anti theft devices they definitely aren’t doing everything they can to protect their merchandise.

A business owner I once worked with was under the impression that his store was not experiencing shoplifting and if it was happening, it was minimal. He sold high-end clothing and accessories and believed that since his stores were in a “higher income” area, he wouldn’t suffer from shoplifters. True, he may not have the same amount of shoplifters, but he will experience shoplifting and with the product he sells, one or two shoplifters could really hurt his business. Only after my showing him several instances of shoplifting at surrounding stores and shops did he decide to install a Checkpoint Security System. As I told the manager, retail anti theft devices like the Checkpoint Security System would provide a better sense of security in his store and would truly protect his profits and hi inventory number by helping to stop shoplifting. The storeowner then decided to purchase Checkpoint Security Systems Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint Labels. The day of final installation, 3 shoplifters were identified as they dropped or threw the merchandise they intended to steal as they ran out of the store. Shoplifters rely on being unnoticed to get what they want and with Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint Tags that is nearly impossible. The Checkpoint Security Systems deterred the shoplifters by taking away their privacy.

Now, and since the installation, the store has increased their profits because merchandise is in the store and available for purchase. Thanks to Checkpoint Security Systems retail anti theft devices an Anti shoplifting wave hit this retailers store.
