The key to any successful retail operation is protecting the company’s bottom line. If you want to prevent shoplifting you must adapted to the current and future challenges that your business is facing. Retail anti theft devices are considered to be the second line of defense to prevent shoplifting.
What is the first line of defense? …Great customer service.
Shoplifters love it when they find your staff busy with another customer. This gives them an opportunity to conceal merchandise in a bag or on there person. Lets face it some shoplifters are bold enough to just walk right out the door with your assets if you are not paying attention. Retail anti theft devices will deter theft and prevent shoplifting so you can protect your profitability.
I have always trained retail sale associates to meet and greet every customer that enters a store within the first 15 seconds. This is a great goal but sometimes it’s just not possible. During busy holiday season or peak shopping hours your ability to greeting a customer within the first 30 seconds can prove to be a real challenge at times.
Retail anti theft devices will buy you time and save you money. A company I once worked for placed anti theft devices on all of our merchandise that was a target for shoplifters during the busy holiday season. Over night we turned a chronic shoplifting problem into a customer service opportunity.
Shoplifters that had been identified showed-up during peak shopping hours hoping our staff would not pay them any attention. The retail anti theft devices gave us time to prevent shoplifting by providing great customer service without neglecting our business needs.
