Sporting Goods stores AIM for retail theft prevention.

It is officially that time of year.  Hunting season has made its way around and many Sporting Goods stores are feeling the crunch of the economy.  For several years sales in this type of retail environment have been tough.  The fact is, outdoor sports gear is not a necessity and as families are struggling this is one area that dad (or mom) may not have the money to buy new gear.  But don’t think this fact stops them from wanting the new gear.  They are forced to steal as opposed to buy.

It is important that these retailers rely on anti shoplifting devices, such as Checkpoint security tags, in order to promote retail theft prevention.  The Checkpoint security tags are a major component to the Checkpoint security system.  The Checkpoint security tags can be affixed to most any product you sell.  Having worked in a large chain that specialized in hunting and fishing products I understand the value.  There are many items that can be tagged with hard tags.  Instead of using the pin to go through the product like you would clothing; you can use a lanyard to attach the hard tag to most all large items on the shelf (i.e. guns, bows, fishing rods and reels, etc.).  Additionally, you can use soft tags to protect everything else.

When the items leave without the tags being removed the Checkpoint systems alarm will sound and give you the ability to react to potential theft.  The Checkpoint security system will also help you to identify who is stealing so you can catch them in the future.  Finally, and most importantly anti shoplifting devices offers you retail theft prevention value.  Shoplifters will see the tags and think twice about stealing which is what you really want.
