More than 60% of shoplifters steal from the same store because they got away with it and the store culture made them feel comfortable. It makes sense. If we create an environment that makes the shoplifter relaxed enough to continue they will also tell their friends. Your store is or will become a magnet to shoplifters.

Once caught, very few shoplifters will return to the same store to make another attempt. The key to prevent shoplifting is to first deter. If that does not work make them feel uncomfortable once they do pick up an item and attempt to conceal it or catch them. A Checkpoint anti shoplifting system covers that at all three levels, deterrence, attempt and catching the shoplifter.

Habitual shoplifters, after being apprehended, will return to the same store when no Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) system is in place because the chance of being caught a second time is only 2%.Shoplifters want your merchandise whether to keep or sell. The goal is to make them uncomfortable enough or shut them down completely. This will send them down the street to another retailer that is not proactive or even trying to prevent shoplifting. That reputation will also spread among shoplifters.

Checkpoint’s broad range of tag and label offerings gives retailers more options to prevent shoplifting than any other Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) technology. The reason is that all of Checkpoint’s tags and labels are radio frequency-based, allowing retailers to protect apparel with reusable hard tags, flex tags or designer tags while using disposable labels for all other merchandise. Checkpoint sensors will detect any Checkpoint RF tag or label – reusable and disposable.

Checkpoint’s disposable EAS tags and labels provide retailers with a versatile and wide selection. Available in a range of sizes, Checkpoint’s paper-thin RF labels prevent shoplifting by protecting all types of merchandise found in drugstores, supermarkets, mass merchandiser, apparel stores, liquor stores, hardware stores and sporting goods stores. All of Loss Prevention Systems’ Checkpoint disposable tags and labels are deactivatable without having to be found or touched during checkout like AM systems.
