Retail theft prevention … fundamental or fantasy???

So everyone knows about Checkpoint security tags on merchandise, right?  There are several providers.  One that happens to be pretty good is made by Checkpoint security system.  I’ve had the opportunity to use their product and find it to be quality product at a good price.

But enough of that.  Do anti shoplifting devices work?  That’s the real question.  I can say without a doubt, “YES”!  Here’s an example.  A rookie thief wants to get product without attention.  He, like us, is familiar with the “beep, beep, beep” from the Checkpoint security system at the doors and knows that will draw attention.  When he/she see’s that Checkpoint security tags on product, then he/she is likely to head to your competitor to do the shoplifting there.  That is the key.  We say retail theft prevention too casually sometimes, but we often forget the “prevention” part.

There are other options as well.  Checkpoint systems offers camera systems too.  Cameras are great to use to record doors, registers and high theft areas of the store.  Just having them will cause potential shoplifters to think twice about stealing and it helps make your case in court when someone is dumb enough to still try.  You can always use smoke domes or “dummy domes” if you can’t afford the full Checkpoint systems camera system.  It still gives the illusion that you have a camera over certain “high theft” product and will deter the thieves.

Shoplifting is unfortunately a part of everyday retail.  The only way to truly employ retail theft prevention is to utilize the anti shoplifting devices that are available today.  Crime evolves and you have to keep up so it won’t shut you down.
