Affordable Retail Security is out there!

The fact is retail security is now more cost effective than ever.  Think about this:  When do you every buy name brand chargers or accessories for your phone or other electronic devices anymore?  The answer for most is never.  You can go online and find hundreds of options that work just as well for much less than the OEM prices.  The same principle applies to retail security items like retail anti-theft devices.

 Can you spend a lot of money on name brand EAS labels and tags?  Of course you can.  Is it always necessary?  Not really.  There are options now for cheap labels and cheap tags that still get the job done.  As long as a product is quality and works then the name really doesn’t matter.  I guarantee shoplifters don’t stop to check the brand name on an anti-shoplifting tag.  All they care about is discovering if an item is protected or not.  If it has retail anti-theft devices (even cheap labels and cheap tags) then they are much more likely to leave the product alone and steal elsewhere. Don’t get caught unprotected because you can’t afford the name-brand retail security items.  Find a less expensive alternative and take the first step in fighting back against retail crime.

Creating a Successful Anti-Shoplifting Program

The loss that a retail store can incur from shoplifting can be detrimental to even the largest of retail chains. That is why a successful retail anti-shoplifting program is essential to a thriving store. Through the proper use of retail Anti-Shoplifting tools, such as a Checkpoint Security System and checkpoint tags, a retail store can dramatically reduce their loss.

In 2009, a company that I worked for suffered a loss of approximately $3,000 in just video game loss in one location. In that same year I was able to detain my highest net detention from a video game theft. A couple came into our store and multiple other stores throughout the day and had removed video games from their retail anti-shoplifting devices. I was luckily able to catch them during the process of concealing video games they had removed from the shelf while on their last stop for the day. In the end, the couple had almost successfully stolen over $2,000 in video games from multiple stores in a single day. The following year, although we already had checkpoint security systems in place, the company I worked for began using retail theft prevention shelf locks for added security on all our video games. On top of the shelf locks, all video games were alpha cased with checkpoint tags inside. By the end of the year my total amount of video game detentions had decreased dramatically and our total loss for that department was equal to hundreds, not thousands of dollars. In one year we were able to decrease our loss radically by simply diversifying the retail anti-shoplifting devices that were previously in use.

This is just one example of many checkpoint security system devices that I have seen reduce loss for stores that I have worked for. However, truly successful retail theft prevention programs make use of a combination of checkpoint systems in order to increase their anti-shoplifting efforts.

It’s all about being aware!

Shrink, or inventory losses, is not just about stopping shoplifters using elaborate schemes and tactics. It isn’t even about expensive retail security programs. It’s really about awareness!

 . Are you aware of what your top merchandise losses are? If you can’t rattle off a list of your top five or ten items, how will you ever stop the shrink from happening? Are your associates equally aware? They should be. Not only are they an extra set of eyes to alert you to potential issues, but they will have a better sense of ownership if they are involved as a solution to the problem.

 Do you have retail anti-theft devices in use? There are reputable companies that do make affordable, cheap labels and cheap tags to use as deterrents in your stores. Make sure your associates are aware of how to properly respond to your EAS system going off. That awareness will help you reduce your shrink by sending a clear message to the criminal community that you and your associates are now aware.

Don’t cut Payroll, Cut Shrink instead!

It has long been said that payroll is the most controllable expense a store has. You have control over the wages spent, the hours worked, allowable overtime, and can increase and reduce as needed. Sounds sensible right?

 Well, I would have to disagree. When companies are reducing their work force to bare bones standards, some retailers are dangerously only having one employee in a store at any given point in time. I think that is just setting someone up to be hurt, or worse.

 Instead of cutting payroll, try cutting out your shrink. It is easier than you might think. Using cost efficient cheap labels and cheap tags for your retail security needs is almost guaranteed to reduce your inventory losses. Retail anti-theft devices are notoriously effective deterrents against theft.

 Since most stores do not have any way to financially allow for an inventory loss, that dollar comes right off the bottom line. A significant reduction in shrink can make a huge impact in bringing those bottom line profits back up to par. 

Don’t put your store and your employees at risk by reducing your payroll to the point where it is almost nonexistent. Reduce your shrink instead through retail security and retail anti-theft devices.

You can’t out-run shrink!

No matter how hard you try, I’ll bet you just can’t out run your shrink losses. Most stores think that as long as they keep exceeding their sales budgets, retail security can take a back burner.

 The days of stellar positive comps are over. Expenses are being cut left and right to make up for the difference in profits. Retail security is critical to bottom line profit increases. At some point, you can only cut out so much. So where do you turn?

 Retail anti-theft devices are designed to dissolve your shrink losses. If you use cheap labels and cheap tags for your go to retail anti-theft devices, you can avoid costly expenses to reduce your shrink.

 Not just for anti-shoplifting needs, these labels and tags will also keep your employees in check. Most companies report that around 40% of shrink is incurred by store employees. Why wouldn’t you want to make the right cost effective decision?

 Don’t keep cutting, and definitely don’t try to keep running. Put the focus back on retail security in your store.

Cutting Payroll? Don’t you have a backup plan???

The economy is struggling, that is a simple fact. Payrolls have been cut and employees are being asked to do more with and for less. Thieves however are very opportunistic and are thriving in this current economic environment. Most companies are not thinking about anti-shoplifting strategies nor are they contemplating adding retail theft prevention tools or any other means of security that might incur cost. Businesses with checkpoint systems already in place are in the best position to fend off this latest push by thieves to cause loss of assets.

Newer smaller to medium size businesses are not allocating funds to protect their bottom line, they are focusing on maximizing sales and slashing the budget at every turn. A Checkpoint security system gives a business an extra obstacle for thieves no matter how many employees are working the floor. The key is the fact that the business can utilize checkpoint security tags and Checkpoint  labels on every piece of merchandise if they so desire to protect their product. The checkpoint security tags are alarmed so if a shoplifter attempts to remove a product that has a tag on it the EAS alarm at the front of the store will sound loudly alerting the staff to a potential theft. Checkpoint systems are proven to deter theft and are ranked as one of the best retail theft prevention tools in the industry.

Payroll is the most controllable expense and many businesses are moving to save money by reducing payroll. Part of the budget discussion should be to discuss the best anti-shoplifting solutions as well. If a company decides to limit floor coverage they should invest part of that money into a checkpoint security system to aid in retail theft prevention. Checkpoint systems are not 100% full proof, nothing on the market is, however this tool can be a huge help to ensure theft does not contribute to any financial hurdles businesses are encountering.

Are your Anti-Shoplifting Devices worth what you pay?

In the land of retail security, retail anti-theft devices are a dime a dozen, sometimes literally. That doesn’t mean that every cheap tag and every cheap label is made up to the same standards.

 When it comes to retail anti-shoplifting devices and tactics, the implementation of an EAS system when paired with EAS tags and labels can potentially decrease shrink losses tenfold. That is one of the main reasons why it is so common for retailers to use EAS systems. It also makes sense that every company out there is going to try and cash in on the sale of cheap tags and cheap labels.

 Not every EAS device is created equally. Some labels are refurbished and do not have a high accuracy rate. Sometimes the labels may actually reactivate themselves if they sit too long, causing customer service issues. How much are you willing to pay for accurate results?

 Just because you can make and sell inexpensive products, doesn’t really mean you should. Go to a reliable source like RBC Retail Security Solutions and make your retail security investment efficient and effective.

Get SMART with your Anti-Shoplifting Plan

Retail security is a vast ever-expanding world of tips, tricks, gadgets and gizmos. Trying to determine where to start can be a completely overwhelming task. Even though there are a million ways to create an anti-shoplifting plan, try sticking to just one or two simple ways to begin with. Once you are comfortable with the scope, highlights and limitations of your plan it is much easier to move on to round two: execution.

 When you are starting to execute, think of it like any other action plan. One of the methods we used frequently was the ‘SMART’ Plan. Is your plan Specific, Measurable, Actions, Realistic, and Timely?

 When I train my managers, I always guide them through the SMART Plan way of thinking. All too often I would see elaborate action plans that sounded great on paper, but were far too complicated, time consuming or expensive to ever really work out, let alone work out quickly.

 Pick out something easy to institute into your daily routine. Retail Ant- theft devices like tags and labels are readily available and simple to use. You can also easily procure cheap tags and cheap labels to fit into your budget. It’s an all around SMART move!

Can Sales and LP really Get Along?

When it came to spending money to save money via retail theft prevention devices there was a constant battle amongst the powers that be. As I gradually moved up the chain I was privy to more and more of the details of the ongoing argument regarding anti-shoplifting strategies. What I came to realize was in order for any company executive to spend one penny of the budget they had to prove how an item would preferably generate sales or at the very least reduce shrink. Therein lies the problem, one side of the argument felt that if the company solely focused on raising sales the company could ignore shrink, the other side focused its attention solely on retail theft prevention.

One of the best and most controversial anti-shoplifting tools is the checkpoint security system. The checkpoint systems employ entrance/exit protection of product with RF pedestals that sound alarms whenever checkpoint security tags which are affixed to product are removed from the store. The Checkpoint security system was quite impressive, utilizing checkpoint security tags that are labels and hard tags. The third party arbitrator for peace was the checkpoint systems vendor. He was able to address both the sales and loss prevention concerns regarding sales and retail theft prevention. It was quite interesting to hear him talk about the fact that the checkpoint systems could actually increase sales by ensuring the product is protected and available on the sales floor for purchase. Many times high dollar items were placed one at a time on the sales floor and if stolen and not reported that product could go days or weeks without being represented on the floor thus reducing sales potential.

Utilizing the checkpoint security tags on all items allowed the sales team to place more items on the sales floor thus ensuring all products were represented at all times. The Checkpoint security tags also served its purpose as an anti-shoplifting tool. Once in place the checkpoint system was an incredible asset to the company serving the dual purpose of increasing sales and deterring theft. The system demands interaction via consistent tagging, tag audits, proper deactivation/detachment at register and proper reaction to alarms. Our executives were able to come to a smart conclusion that allowed both departments to work together for proper system installation and implementation. We have never looked back and always look for ways to make the system even more beneficial.

Can Anti-Shoplifting Devices scare off customers?

Why is retail security so important to running a successful business? Retail anti-theft devices are often seen as a time consuming hindrance and bad PR instead of a valuable tool. The number one reason is customer satisfaction.

 It may seem like customers would be more likely to use the ignorance is bliss mantra when they shop. If there is no apparent sign of retail security, then they should assume they are perfectly safe, right? Not necessarily. If you do not have any visible theft in your store, it could really just be a matter of time before you become a target for shoplifters. Furthermore, this tells your customers that they are probably paying extra to make up for the unprotected merchandise that is walking out the door.

 Shoppers want to feel safe when they shop. A relaxed shopper will take their time and walk the aisles seeing what you have to sell. They are more likely to try on several items in a fitting room instead of just one. They are also in a better mood. That makes it easier on you and your staff to increase your ticket average and decrease your customer complaints. 

A customer that does not feel safe will not do any of those things. If they even decide to buy anything, it will be quick and to the point. Don’t allow petty criminals to scare off your good business.
