How Do They Do It?

May 7, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

A rather young, new employee asked me the other day how Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags stop shoplifting. They didn’t really believe that a plastic tag or a little sticky label could really be an effective method to stop shoplifting. You could see the doubt brimming in their eyes.

I told them it was a combination of several different facets all working together that created an efficient shortage reduction program. The first step was utilizing the RF labels and RF security tags.

You see, the RF security tags and labels are a visual cue for potential thieves. They say that stealing any of the tagged items are going to be more difficult to get out the door without raising suspicion or notice.

For those shoplifters that do try to beat the system, it will take them longer to either try (usually unsuccessfully) to defeat the tags, or they will set the alarm off as they go out the door.

If they are noticed inside the store, they will generally be apprehended. Those that set the alarm off run the risk of having a license plate on their get away vehicle documented. Many a shoplifter has been apprehended after the fact by having a lead on the car’s make, color and plates.

All in all, the word spreads quickly that this store takes shortages and theft seriously; best to move on to the next store and leave this one alone.

How Much Are They?

Prom is a magical time in a young girls high school career. There is the excitement and anticipation of being asked to go to a formal dance. It is a more mature dinner and dance, a gateway into the “adult” world. For some, there is even the glamour of riding around in a limo for the night. It is truly a memorable night.

Unfortunately, it can also be a very expensive night. By the time you add up the shoes and hair and dress, dinner, limo, corsages, accessories… The expenses can end up being just as memorable.

As a retailer, it goes without saying that you are always trying to prevent shoplifting. Having the most up to date retail anti theft devices is a must to stay ahead of the game. When it comes time for Prom, employ the use of a Jewel Lok for your accessories.

Jewel loks are designed specifically for accessories like earrings. Instead of flimsy backs with embedded soft tags that can be discarded, Jewel loks keep everything in place until purchase.

With all of the other expenses, and the peer pressure to look your best, it is not uncommon for the pressure to get the best of an impressionable teenager. Rather than forgo an added expense like accessories, some may turn to shoplifting to supplement their pocketbook.

Be proactive and keep your accessories under the right kind of lock and key; the Jewel Lok.

Keep Your Eyes Open

May 7, 2012 by Staff Editor

The need to have clothing security is not just about protecting your stores from shoplifters. It’s also about the need to dissuade your employees from taking advantage of you and your merchandise.

One instance that comes to mind surrounds a very well liked manager. Now perhaps I should begin by saying that we used Checkpoint tags for our clothing security. We were very good at making sure there were the appropriate type and quantity of security tags on clothes.

The problem wasn’t with the Checkpoint tags. The issue was with our detachers. We used hand held detachers in the store for several very legitimate reasons. We catered to several off site situations like clothing reviews or fashion columns in the local paper. It was very common to have our detachers running around the store in just about anyone’s hands.

We never really thought to control the access of the detachers until we started seeing one of our managers wearing several new items. He habitually complained about how little money he had, so to see him waltzing around the store in expensive new duds, more than one eyebrow was raised.

With his access to a detacher and no check and balance in pace, he was able to remove any of the clothing security tags he wanted. He then changed clothes at the store; either by layering the clothing under his own, or by outright changing clothes when he thought the shifts had changed.

Security tags on clothes were not effective because we failed to eliminate his liberty with a detacher. A simple check and balance of another set of eyes would have all but eliminated the opportunity for him to steal.

Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase a clothing alarm or clothing security tags and an Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system.

Is It All About The Fancy Package?

May 3, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

When I was growing up, I remember seeing generic brand items in the grocery store. They were just a white-labeled can or box with the product in big, bold black letters. It was not a very attractive package to look at. Even at a young age, I was very skeptical about how good the contents really were.

Over the years, companies have realized that if they want to sell and item, they need to have attractive packaging. Now just about every retailer from food to clothes to gadgets and gizmos have their own store branded items; their generics, if you will.

Retail security is no different from all the other markets out there. You can find generic versions of name brand anti theft devices anywhere. Some are beautifully packaged, while some are still in black and white minimalism.

The key is to find cheap tags and cheap labels that are reliable. Be wary of foreign made tags and labels, as they may only look attractive on the outside. Their inner workings may end up being less than desirable.

Don’ t rely on just the name, or fancy packaging. Use a trusted source for your EAS labels and tags.

Don’t think you can’t compete

May 3, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

As a small business owner, it can be very difficult to try and compete with larger big box chains. They often have more resources with buying power and price control than what you might. They also have a more recognizable name to draw in customers. One things for sure though, shoplifters aren’t just limited to the big boxes. They are more than willing to steal from you without a second thought.

Don’t be left trying to employ the same anti shoplifting tactics that work for the big box stores. Their budgets might price you out of the water, leaving you more vulnerable as you try to prevent retail theft. Instead, use anti theft devices designed with your budget in mind. Use cheap tags and cheap labels that are reliable and budget friendly.

You don’t need to spend extravagant money to protect your store from falling pry to shoplifters. Let the big boxes fritter away their money on the expensive name brand tags and labels. Use the low cost versions. They are low cost because they are made here in the USA, not because they are chintzy knock-offs.

Why The EAS System IS So Effective

April 30, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Sometimes we just take things for granted. We know that certain things work and certain things don’t. How often do we ever stop and think about why something works better than something else. Take EAS systems like Checkpoint security tags and Checkpoint labels as an effective means to stop shoplifting.

Shoplifters ultimately rely on the need to remain inconspicuous and anonymous. A shoplifter’s greatest trait is to be able to dash into a store, under the radar, and get out before anyone notices they are there. When you say time is of the essence, no one can relate more than a shoplifter.

When you add another variable into the equation, such as Checkpoint security tags and Checkpoint labels, that precious time needed to make a successful theft starts to dwindle. If a shoplifter is now faced with the task of unauthorized removal of the tags and labels, they run the risk of being detected.

Since there is no easy, quick way to remove the tags without the proper deactivators or detachers, the addition of tags and labels are essential to being able to stop shoplifting. It is far better to rob a thief of time, than for a thief to rob you of your inventory.

The Most Controllable Expense

April 30, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

It has long been said that payroll is the most controllable expense a store has. You have control over the wages spent, the hours worked, allowable overtime, and can increase and reduce as needed. Sounds like it makes sense.

I would have to disagree. When companies are reducing their work force to bare bones standards, some retailers are dangerously only having one employee in a store at any given point in time. I think that is just setting someone up to be hurt, or worse.

Instead of cutting payroll, try cutting out your shrink. It is easier than you might think. Using cost efficient cheap tags and cheap labels for your retail security is almost guaranteed to reduce your inventory losses. Anti theft devices are notoriously effective deterrents against theft.

Since most stores do not have any way to financially allow for an inventory loss, that dollar comes right off the bottom line. A significant reduction in shrink can make a huge impact in bringing those bottom line profits back up to par.

Don’t put your store and your employees at risk but reducing your payroll to the point where it is almost nonexistent. Reduce your shrink instead through retail security and anti theft devices.

Avoiding Spider Bites

April 30, 2012 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

As I new homeowner, I spend a lot of my free time in one of two places; the hardware store and in the home décor section of big box retailers. Having worked for a home improvement warehouse in the past, my eye is still instinctively trained to watch out for the high shrink items as I walk around.

One of the things that my local store uses, which we did not, is Spider Wraps. These ingenious little devices are cords that cross a box like the ribbon on a present with a round attachment in the middle. They serve a few purposes in their role to prevent shoplifting.

The first is easy, any time you use a retail anti theft device to protect your inventory, your shrink will decrease. The next is when used on an item like a power drill; you keep the product inside its case and packaging. The Spider Wrap protects the case from being opened. I have numerous apprehensions where the merchandise was removed from its case and concealed in a bag or under a coat.

Finally, if the perpetrator cannot open the box, they may try to steal the entire thing. The Spider Wrap will do its job by sounding an alarm if the box is stolen. Don’t forget the squeal it will emit if the wrap is tampered with. All in all, it is safe to say that Spider Wraps are a highly effective tool to prevent shoplifting.
