If You Don’t Tag, You’re It

While the use of RF security tags is widespread in major retail stores, only a handful of smaller, locally owned retailers have an EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) system. The primary concern for small businesses is, of course, the upfront cost of the system. While EAS systems are not “cheap” neither is the amount of loss a retailer will see if they do not stop shoplifting from occurring.

 The average retailer has a profit margin of only 2% once you include the cost for the product, labor, utilities and lease payment. This means that if a shoplifter steals one item that costs $30 the retailer would have to sell $1500 to recoup the money that was lost from one item being stolen. In all my experience, I have never met a retailer that could not recoup the cost of a Checkpoint system within the first year that the system was installed.

 Checkpoint security tags and RF labels are easy to apply and become a part of your employee’s daily routine. You can attach Checkpoint labels and RF security tags to virtually any product or item that you do not want leaving your store. These items are not just for giant one-stop-shop stores but are for every store that decides that they want to stop shoplifting from erasing their profits. You might think that it costs a little more up front but if you run the numbers, an EAS system always wins.

 Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase Checkpoint labels, Checkpoint security tags, and other RF labels that can help you stop shoplifting in your business.
