Scare off your shoplifters with cheap tags and cheap labels.

 Store owners and managers must have a retail anti-shoplifting mindset, especially these days with the economy and the way it is. As a loss prevention officer I have seen a spike in shoplifting, employee dishonesty, and organized retail crimes. Making sure your stores retail security is up to par is essential in combatting the shoplifters that wander into your place of business. Not protecting your merchandise is just inviting thieves to line up and steal from your store.    

 Retail anti-theft devices are very inexpensive and have a huge return on investment. Cheap labels can be purchased and placed on clothing without any risk of damaging the product. Cheap tags can be purchased as well in order to compliment the labels by adding further visual deterrence. Wouldn’t it be great to scare off some would-be shoplifters from your store so that they go steal from a major competitor?

 The goal is to make your store a retail anti-shoplifting establishment in order to maximize profit and minimize loss. Retail anti-theft devices serve many useful functions. However, the most useful function that I’ve noticed throughout my career is that store management get a better night’s sleep the night before inventory day.

Does it feel like you’re fighting a losing battle?

Over the years I have worked for a long list of retailers as a loss prevention investigator.  I have spent hours conducting investigations to apprehend shoplifters and dishonest employees for a wide variety of theft related crimes.  The main lesson I learned during this period was that anti-shoplifting initiatives only work if you focus on retail theft prevention.

Shoplifting is going to happen… it is an unfortunate part of being in the retail business.  Our company spent thousands of dollars hiring and training people to watch the cameras and physically detain shoplifters; however, in the end I’m absolutely certain that the key to retail theft prevention is deterrence through the use of anti-shoplifting devices.

I worked for a small company that did not have a checkpoint security system in place and it was overrun with shoplifters daily. It felt like we were constantly at war trying to keep merchandise in the store.

When the yearend shortage numbers rolled out we were appalled by the losses that we incurred despite our efforts.  It was decided that we needed to implement a checkpoint security system to help mitigate our losses.

The Checkpoint Security System sent a clear message to the shoplifters that retail theft prevention was taken seriously. Checkpoint security tags were placed on all of our merchandise and checkpoint systems were installed on the doors.  Once the checkpoint security tags were in place we started to see an increase in the number of items left in our fitting rooms because the shoplifters couldn’t remove the anti-shoplifting devices.

Don’t let the hard times deter you from protecting your bottom line!

Small business owners are having a tough time in this economy but this is no time to forget about protecting the bottom line. In fact, retail security is more important than ever because when times are tough people will do what ever tey need to get by, including shoplifting.

When I am hired to do lp consulting for small business owners I have an uphill battle to help them spend money to save money. Most of these businesses are retailers selling a variety of products. My first pitch is an EAS system. Unfortunately many of the EAS systems are expensive and fall outside the price range these small businesses can afford. As the economy started to recede and the trend of small businesses to spend less on retail security increased I realized I needed to conduct additional research to see if there were any other companies out there who were making affordable retail anti-theft devices.

I found a company called RBC Security Solutions and realized that for every bump in the road in the economy there are very intelligent people who are constantly looking for innovative ways to manufacture quality products in more efficient ways to be able to offer them at a more inexpensive price. I could not believe the variety of retail anti-theft devices RBC offered such as cheap labels and cheap tags. Retail Security is a tricky business that is never cookie cutter or one size fits all. A business has to be fully evaluated from its administrative practices to its employees to its sales performance to its demographics and finally its physical location. Once that evaluation is complete a shrink busting strategy including anti-shoplifting tools can be implemented. RBC had a full compliment of inexpensive retail security devices that fit nicely into the owners strategy to control shrink in his store.

 RBC has become a much needed ally to the retail world and to loss prevention professionals who are trying to find new inexpensive ways to protect their company’s assets. One thing I learned from RBC Security Solutions that has become a mantra of mine is “Inexpensive does not mean cheap!”. Even though this company boast cheap tags and cheap labels, once you see the quality of the product that RBC security solution sells you will realize there is nothing cheap about the quality.

Make Retail Theft Prevention your #1 Priority

All major retailers use checkpoint systems.  The reason for this is simple.  Retail theft prevention is a number 1 priority to them!  Big retail has learned over the years that retail anti-shoplifting devices are cost effective and get results.

With the benefit of learning from this experience, specialty retailers and small business owners can develop long term loss prevention programs that will meet budgetary requirements.

Hiring a full time in-store loss prevention team to apprehend shoplifters is expensive and opens the business up to additional liability concerns.  Checkpoint security tags are a discreet and cost effective deterrent because most shoplifters look for exposed or unprotected merchandise.

Checkpoint systems are the first thing a shoplifter looks for when considering which businesses to attack.  Having a checkpoint security system in place indicates to a shoplifter that you are proactively engaging in retail theft prevention and may have trained loss prevention personnel on staff.

A company I recently consulted used checkpoint security tags by checkpoint systems to secure all sales floor and display merchandise.  The business couldn’t justify the cost of a full time loss prevention team and the owner realized early that retail theft prevention needed to be a priority because an entire display table of name brand athletic shirts disappeared a week after the store opened.

We installed a checkpoint security system at each entrance and comprehensive training was provided to all staff members.  Checkpoint security tags were placed on all display and sellable merchandise.  According to the client, when the suspected shoplifters returned to find the business secured with anti-shoplifting devices they didn’t bother even coming into the store.

Any business that invests in the purchase of a checkpoint security system from checkpoint systems will see a return on their investment (ROI).

Keeping your Equipment Up to Date can Actually Save you Money!

It is a sad fact that in today’s job market and national economy a lot of us in the Retail Security or Operations field end up having to move about quite a bit.  More often than not the reason is that the company you were working for didn’t have the budget to keep you (or even your whole department) on the payroll.  I understand fully the need for corporations to ‘trim the fat’ in order to survive but the area they certainly shouldn’t be skimping on is Retail Security or a fairly current suite of retail anti-Theft Devices.

 A few months back I fell victim to the budget cut goblins at a certain retail firm but was quickly picked up by another company looking to completely rebuild their Loss Prevention department from the ground up.  They had a lot of great ideas as they pertained to retail Anti-Shoplifting setups and deterrence over apprehension but there was one major problem; not a single piece of their retail Anti-Theft Device inventory was younger than twenty years old.  In fact most of it was much older. The problem with this arises when you get a shoplifter that knows how to defeat out of date equipment. There is a reason that Anti-Shoplifting devices have evolved over time and it is important that retailers understand this when considering their anti-shoplifting methods.

 If you have a store that is trying to cut back on spending but not on Loss Prevention make sure they consider all the retail Anti-Shoplifting alternatives so you don’t feel like you are fighting high-tech, computer savvy thieves with old-fashioned, pre-calculator equipment.

EAS Towers are Great for Restrooms!

Among the more perfidious methods of theft in retail environments, is a shoplifter taking their selected items into store restrooms.  There are often very exacting requirements to adhere to before executing any shoplifting apprehension involving a restroom concealment and it creates a great deal of pressure and stress for us within the Loss Prevention community; so much so that nine times out of ten we avoid going after such suspects as the risk of making a bad stop is too high.

 The way around this is to create a problem for the shoplifters before they even get to the ‘safe zone’ of the restrooms.  Since the vast majority of items taken into restrooms already have retail anti-theft devices in place it is simply a matter of establishing compatible retail security towers just before the restroom entrance.  That way, should anyone try to get a tagged item into said restroom alarms would sound just as if they tried to exit the store with the same items. 

 Furthermore, in some jurisdictions the attempt to take unpaid product into a store restroom is akin to walking out the front doors with it and a stop can be made (with cause) when the alarm sounds.  Of course you need to verify with your state and company retail security policies but if you have the ability, use it.

Checkpoint Systems: Your Comprehensive Anti-Shoplifting Strategy

Retail theft prevention is a priority for all retailers and the use retail anti-shoplifting devices is the first step to protect merchandise from external and internal theft.  Merchants continue to see alarming increases in shoplifting incidents as a result of growing economic pressure and checkpoint systems pay for themselves.

A checkpoint security system is the most comprehensive, simple and cost effective form of theft deterrence for merchants.  Checkpoint systems are easy to manage and this state of the art technology requires very little training and maintenance.

You have probably learned by now that most shoplifters are opportunists so the key to retail theft prevention is eliminating the opportunity.  Checkpoint security tags are difficult to remove without the proper tools and this forces shoplifters think twice before challenging the integrity of a merchant.

Anti-Theft Devices aren’t just for Merchandise!

One of the things that happens to plague most retail companies is employees “accidentally” going home with a piece of equipment in their pockets.  The items range in size and scope from pens and memo pads to pricing guns, mag-keys, and walkie-talkies. 

 The truth is that a lot of the time, it is simply a matter of an employee forgetting to turn in their gear at the end of their shift but what it does is creates issues when too much equipment has walked out the door leaving only a handful or no usable equipment left in the store to conduct necessary business. 

 By managing a log of who is assigned certain pieces of equipment a store can certainly lessen the impact of these disappearing items.  But to be certain the more important pieces don’t go for a stroll you should look into attaching a retail anti-theft device that will sound the alarm when something crosses the threshold that shouldn’t.  A set of Cheap Labels can cover most walkie-talkie units without lessening their effectiveness.  Same goes for mag-keys (as long as they are applied to the correct side).  As for price guns a Cheap Tag attached via a loop or around a part of the handle works just fine. I have even seen labels and tags attached to pens at the cash wrap so that customers don’t accidentally walk out with them.

 Though things like pens and walkie talkies won’t do much for an actual thief outside of the business, making sure to use a cheap label on your removal keys is a great way to guarantee that your employees aren’t using your detachers and keys to remove items form other retailers…

Cheap Tags to replace your Broken ones!

Over the past few weeks I have been noticing more and more instances where there are piles of retail anti-theft devices stashed in some dark corner of the store, broken and mangled beyond usability.  It is the calling card of semi-pro and professional shoplifters going about their business of circumventing our retail anti-shoplifting measures.  On top of the cost of the items they stole there is the added cost of replacing all the destroyed tags.  The loss of ten or twenty every week may not seem like much but it adds up fast.  Before you realize it you have no retail anti-theft devices left to adhere to new stock and the price to order new shipments might be outside the constraints of your budget. 

 Beyond trying to do the impossible (which is to completely shutdown ALL retail theft) the only thing you can hope to do is mitigate your losses through renewed focus on your problem areas and looking for less expensive but still compatible replacement devices to supplement your retail anti-shoplifting needs.  I myself have had to replace almost every retail anti-theft device in one of my stores for the dual fact that so many had been defeated and they were so ridiculously outdated.

Don’t let your apprehensions get out of hand!

In retail theft prevention the key to a safe apprehension is simple; be smart. We have all seen the horror stories of apprehensions gone wrong, and situations where something gets out of hand causing dangerous circumstances. I myself have experienced situations that have come close to getting out of control had I handled it incorrectly. Situations like these can cause lawsuits, job loss, and can even be life threatening. The biggest thing to remember is that a bad apprehension is never worth its weight in what we could have recovered. Relying on your checkpoint systems can help keep you safe from apprehensions gone wrong.

Your first line of defense is to check for defeated anti- shoplifting devices when investigating a shoplifter. Finding defeated anti -shoplifting devices is extra proof that the shoplifter had the intent to steal. If you don’t find removed Checkpoint tags or Checkpoint Labels, did the checkpoint systems alarm sound when they left the store? If it didn’t, are you positive you saw concealment and had constant surveillance? Video review to ensure accuracy is not only easy with the right equipment, but can save you from a bad mistake if you missed something during your surveillance.

Be a good judge of the situation; always be aware of what is going on around you and be prepared to get out of the way if danger ensues. Having used the hands off approach for years, I have come to realize there is always another way. If words don’t work, rely on the authorities to locate the suspect for you with the information you have already obtained.
