All retailers experience shoplifting at some point or other. I have found that the smaller volume and specialty stores are often less likely to have anti shoplifting efforts in place as opposed to the larger chain counterparts. One specialty retail setting that has a large variety of chain stores and independently owned stores are drug stores. Now we all know that the chain stores use anti shoplifting devices such as EAS tags, CCTV and RX caps. But I often find that independently owned drug stores don’t have many retail theft prevention efforts in place.
A word of advice is that all stores need anti shoplifting tools in order to remain profitable. Shoplifters target stores that don’t use tools such as Checkpoint security tags and Checkpoint security systems. Shoplifters are smart. They quickly learn who is protecting themselves and who is not. Then they take the smaller risk and steal from the stores without retail theft prevention devices. There are many great tools that are available to small drug stores. You don’t have to be a chain store to qualify for protection. Checkpoint systems is very cost effective and is well known by shoplifters. When a would-be shoplifter enters the store and sees the Checkpoint systems pedestals they know immediately that their job just got more risky.
And to be honest, that is the point. Store employees can’t spend all day dealing with shoplifters and still give the customers the service they need. Instead of sacrificing time doing business you can use Checkpoint security tags and Alpha RX Caps to deter your theft and keep your profits safe. This will allow you to control losses and focus more on growing sales and customer satisfaction.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase retail anti theft devices from Checkpoint Systems.
