Retail theft prevention is on the forefront of most business owners’ minds lately. The struggling economy, high unemployment and the ever decreasing value of the dollar can motivate some people to take up shoplifting just to make ends meet or to obtain those items that they otherwise cannot afford. If a person has the mindset to be able to shoplift, a suffering economy will not stop them and may motivate them. Anti shoplifting techniques will, however, slow down their efforts.
I work for a large retailer that is also seeing the effects of the economy on profitability. Anti shoplifting measures are taken seriously by those of us in the loss prevention field in order to maximize our business’s profits while reducing the losses experienced. We do our best to not stand idly by while our merchandise walks out the doors.
Businesses are seeing more organized retail crime among shoplifters as well, where items are stolen for resale. These types of shoplifters can greatly impact a business by creating a significant loss in a short amount of time. Retail theft prevention ideas can help slow down these shoplifters too.
When you would like your dollar to go a long way in retail theft prevention, Checkpoint systems are available. Checkpoint security tags attach to your high theft and high end merchandise and sound an alarm should the item leave your business without being purchased. A Checkpoint security system also provides a visual deterrent to the would-be shoplifter, announcing it, and your business, as one invested in anti shoplifting.
These are hard times, but retail theft prevention measures such as Checkpoint systems are available. For a minimal investment in anti shoplifting, you can maximize profits for your business.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase retail anti theft devices from Checkpoint Systems.
