Anti Shoplifting and retail theft prevention is often overcomplicated. Elaborate plans and programs are dreamt up and put into place only to fail time and time again.

Using Checkpoint security tags are still one of the most effective deterrents to stop shoplifting. This visual cue tells the potential thief that the merchandise is not an easy target. No shoplifter ever wants to be noticed! This is one of the biggest reasons why Checkpoint systems are so effective.

In order to stop shoplifting, you have to provide a reason why a shoplifter should not steal from your store. Retail theft prevention using Checkpoint security tags give the shoplifters that reason to go elsewhere.

The tags provide a visual deterrent as well as an audible one. Long are the days where the tags only sound an alarm at the door. Now Checkpoint systems will alarm inside the department or store if a tag is tampered with. Because the alarms are built into the tags, the alarms can even follow a perpetrator outside of the store if the stolen merchandise they are carrying has a tag that was not deactivated.

This simplifies the need for elaborate plans in retail theft prevention. Just apply the tags and watch your incidents of theft drop.

For many retailers, it is time to think about swimsuits. The winter’s coats and sweaters are slowly but surely being replaced with warm weather merchandise and apparel. This change in merchandise needs to bring a change in our retail theft prevention ways.

Swimsuits are small and easy to conceal. They are just begging to be taken. It is common that they are stolen in a fitting room. Sometimes they are simply concealed in a purse or pocket on the sales floor. So what’s a progressive retailer to do? Well, look no further than Checkpoint systems.

Chances are you already have a Checkpoint Security System in place that uses the basic soft labels or hard tags. That means you already have a step in the right direction for retail theft prevention. The simple applications of anti shoplifting devices are sure to make the right splash in your swimwear sales this year!

I frequently see retailers avoiding the use of hard tags because they are afraid they will damage the stretchy material of the suit. The Lycra easily snags on the metal pins.

There are other alternatives to the traditional pin tags that do not damage the material. They make sure your retail theft prevention doesn’t do a cannonball this year.

Awareness of how many thousands of different items a store can contain is inevitable if one works Loss Prevention (or Operations Support as some presently call it) to implement and enforce retail theft prevention in order to stop shoplifting in one of the larger stores.

With so many different types of products (clothing, electronics, furniture, tools, etc.), it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the need to protect every single piece of inventory.  However, it is extremely rare for even the most stringent loss prevention policy to dictate that the two dollar items at the impulse rack require Checkpoint Security Tags.

Most stores have a guideline of price points for each category of inventory sold in the store.  But not every piece of inventory can necessarily benefit from utilizing the identical anti-shoplifting equipment as its store-front neighbors. 

Winter jackets can benefit from Checkpoint security tags and have little use for the application of Checkpoint labels.  Similarly, the DVDs that one stocks require Checkpoint Labels because nothing else can be attached to them. 

This is why there are options in the retail theft prevention world – measures used to protect products must vary because products come in every imaginable shape and size.

If you want to be confident that your store is making the most of the Checkpoint Security System previously installed, it is imperative to be sure that you possess enough variety in the anti-shoplifting suite to cover all items you need to protect.

If you work Loss Prevention in a large store you are more than well aware of how many thousands of different items your place of business can be filled with.  With so many products or so many different types of products (clothing, electronics, furniture, tools, etc) you may feel overwhelmed by the needs to protect every single piece of inventory.  But it is rare for even the most stringent loss prevention policy to dictate that even the two dollar items at the impulse rack need Checkpoint Tags put on them.

Most places have a guideline of price points for each category of inventory sold in the store.  But not every piece of inventory can necessarily use the same anti-shoplifting device as its store-front neighbors.  Your winter jackets can use Checkpoint tags, but have little use for Checkpoint labels.  Likewise, those DVDs you sell can only ever make use of Checkpoint Labels as there is no way to attach anything else to them.  That is why there are options in the world of retail theft prevention; it is a known fact that not every product is the same and therefore the measures used to protect them have to be different.

If you want to be sure your store is making the most of that Checkpoint Security System you have installed make sure that you have enough variety in your retail anti-shoplifting equipment suite to cover all the items you need to protect.

Checkpoint labels are a common sight in retail theft prevention, those little white strips usually glued to the back of a fragrance or a plastic packaging for headphones, or even found tucked inside a DVD case. They are among the most versatile retail anti-shoplifting tools available to those who wish to stop shoplifting within their store.  The problem is that they are so common a sight that anyone who has ever walked into any retail establishment knows of their existence and those who are looking to steal from you know how to identify and sometimes defeat them.  The challenge is to find clever ways to hide the Checkpoint Labels so that it seems as though they are not present at all.

It is a theme present in one of the more fundamental concepts of retail theft prevention; creating the illusion that there is little or no security on hand to stop a theft from taking place.  Making use of the small size of the Checkpoint Labels, you can hide them almost anywhere; the pockets of a pair of jeans, the seam of a jacket, the brim of a hat, the possibilities are only limited by your vision.  By hiding these diminutive anti-shoplifting devices well enough you can create the illusion for shoplifters that they don’t need to use any tools or measures to defeat your labels which will prove otherwise when they pass through the gate of your Checkpoint security system.

Throughout my time working in Loss Prevention, I have observed a constant struggle between stopping theft and giving customers the best shopping experience. As a person representing the anti-shoplifting side of retail, if it were up to me, everything in a store would be nailed down, in a case, or behind bars. This is why I don’t own a store and haven’t crossed over to a Customer Service department. Shoppers don’t want to be treated like criminals and they want to have an open merchandise experience where they can try on shoes, pick up purses, and test cosmetics. So how can retailers obtain a healthy balance between these two conflicting missions?

Enter Checkpoint Security Systems, a leader in retail anti-shoplifting solutions. All of the companies that I have worked for except one have used Checkpoint security tags to combat theft of live merchandise. While interviewing shoplifters at the retailer that didn’t utilize solutions from Checkpoint systems, all of them admitted that they chose our store over other retailers because we didn’t have any merchandise protection they would have to worry about defeating. While many professional shoplifters have tools to remove security tags, they still seek out stores that will make their job easier because their tools often don’t work on Checkpoint Security Tags.

Checkpoint security tags also allow stores to offer their customers a live merchandise experience without the suspicion and worry that I constantly live with. With both hard and soft tags offered, shoppers can freely test and try on merchandise without bulky sensors getting in the way or tangled cables preventing them from removing the item from a rack. Retailers and shoppers each have more positive interactions with each other, and guests leave the store happier. The battle between Loss Prevention and customer service is over, with both sides coming out a winner.
