“How do you stop shoplifting?”

It is a simple question “How do you stop shoplifting?” Unfortunately there isn’t always a simple answer. It all depends on your product, your store, and your employees and of course your use of a Checkpoint Security System.

So what type of product do you carry? More importantly, what type of product are you loosing? Retail theft prevention revolves around matching specific products or items with specific anti shoplifting solutions. Inventory losses in accessories will need a different fix than inventory losses in power tools or electronics.

You can set your store up to enhance your anti shoplifting techniques. For example, move high ticket or high theft items farther from the doors. You can keep these same items closer to where you employees will be, like at a service counter, or wrap stand.

Your employees need to be versed on your company’s policy of how to stop shoplifting. Retail theft prevention isn’t all about apprehending a shoplifter. Nothing is more effective than your employees giving great customer service.

Of course your Checkpoint Security System should at a very minimum employ the use of EAS tags and labels. Adding in cameras and public view monitors enhance the effectiveness of the overall presentation. Just keep in mind that cameras don’t catch crooks, they only deter them.
