For many general merchandise businesses, health and beauty products are often a high theft item. These items can be taken for personal use. However, if you are missing large quantities (in particular all at once) then you are probably looking at a resale situation. Your anti shoplifting programs need to be able to identify and address this issue.
Shoplifters will steal an item in mass quantities (the entire shelf has been swiped clean of all of it’s merchandise) and find a place to re sell them for profit. This can be a pawnshop, ebay, or another local Mom and Pop store looking for a better profit margin.
Using Checkpoint Systems for retail theft prevention is an overall good solution to stop shoplifting.
Specifically, Checkpoint labels can be adhered to almost every box or package. They can also be pre printed with your own message.
Think about having Checkpoint labels printed with a message stating that this is an anti shoplifting label, if found for resale please call your store’s number. Then add your store’s name and phone number.
This will help identify stolen product as being yours. Additionally, this retail theft prevention identifies the item as being monitored, deterring theft to begin with. Lastly, any other business that might be interested in buying the stolen items will be hesitant, as they know they cannot sell the item out of their shop with that kind of label affixed to it.
