Can you feel the beat?

Retail theft prevention involves a fair amount of auditing. It is the formal check and balance to make sure your processes are being followed through. If your processes are accurate, then you can move on to step two. Step two is deciding if your retail theft prevention is actually working.

So how do you really find the pulse of you’re anti shoplifting activity? Is there a way to determine prior to an inventory where you are shrinking, and where your shrink is decreasing?

Yes, try running counts on your inventory. If you previously lost significant quantities of item #1234, start counting item #1234 every day. Check it against your on hands and see what comes up.

If your anti shoplifting program is working, you should have accurate counts.

If the count of what you physically can find does not match what your inventory should be, then you have a problem. By tracking these daily counts, you can determine a few things.

Is the frequency that you are missing product decreasing or increasing? Are your counts off after a shipment? Is there a specific day of the week that you are coming up short?

The answers will help you narrow down not only whether your programs work, but will give you the beat on what to do next.

Gluten Free Living

I have long since tried to avoid all of the diet fads. I just assumed that if I tried to eat a well-balanced and proportionate diet, than I was pretty much good to go.

 Well, lately I have been paying more attention to the production of foods and what goes into them. I now try to avoid a lot of the chemical additives.

 Now they are saying that even some of our Healthy foods are dangerous because of the genetic modifications to our food and plant sources. For a lot of people Gluten sensitivity is a real issue to overcome because of these genetic enhancements.

 Luckily for us, our anti theft devices are gluten free. The cheap labels used for anti shoplifting have an adhesive backing to it. Unlike postage stamps or envelopes (which may contain gluten) these EAS labels do not need to be licked. This eliminates any chance of having a reaction to gluten.

 I wouldn’t go out and test this theory by licking an EAS label. It will probably taste pretty disgusting, and they are self-adhesive, so that would just be pretty much counter productive.

With a quickness

So I submitted my information for a sample of the Checkpoint compatible anti theft devices. By was I shocked when they came in! I was expecting a package to arrive in the mail in about a month with like one little sticker in it.

 Ha, boy was I wrong to think that! 

For starters, the green envelope came within a few days, not sure exactly, but I don’t think it even took a week to get to me. Then when I opened it up, wow, out came this cascade of labels.

 I think they included a few of each kind of label that they carry. It was nice to be able to look at all of their products instead of just seeing only one or two examples.

 It was also nice to be able to look at all the samples at my leisure. There wasn’t any pushy salesperson pressuring me to by enormous quantities right then and there. I had time to think about what I needed for my business, and evaluate what they had sent.

 Because of the samples, I was able to find an even better solution with their products than what I thought I had been looking for.

Only sometimes

For plenty of retailers, sales are driven by special buys. These deep discount, one-time purchase items drive in customer traffic to encourage shopping in other areas of the store.

 Sometimes these special buys are a consumable. Sometimes, they are a one of a kind specialty item. Sometimes you need to have access to cheap tags and cheap labels to make sure your retail security is up to speed with these one-time displays of product.

 Because the draw a buyer has for a special buy piece of merchandise is the extremely low cost of goods, it may not make sense for the vendor to put in extra time or money into equipping them with anti theft devices.

 By not having these items EAS tagged, it can lead to more than just an inventory loss.  You can loose major sales and reputation by not having an advertised product available.

 There will surely be upset customers who made the trip into the store just for that item. To send them away empty handed will actually send them away with a bad taste in their mouths for your store. They will be less likely to make a trip again for any other sales.

A day in the life

I would like to take a moment to imagine what life would be like if I were a Checkpoint security tag. Yes, it does seem rather silly. I like to view things from outside perspectives to be able to really get a feel for what retail theft prevention is working in my stores. What better way than through the eyes of a Checkpoint security tag.

Lets start at the beginning. As a Checkpoint security tag, my primary function is to stop shoplifting. So I need to be attached onto a piece of merchandise for that to happen. That means that I am either waiting in my stockroom, or I am in a bin at the cash registers waiting to be reused.

Next I need to be fitted onto the product. It is pretty easy. Stick the pin through the item and push the hard UFO looking piece on the pin. Done! That took all of about two seconds to do.

Now I go to the sales floor with my product. Because I am firmly attached, I know that no matter how many times I get jiggled, handled, dropped, or shopped. I am not coming off.

I’ll stay here until the merchandise is purchased and I am detached at the registers with a simple pull.

Not to bad. Retail theft prevention to stop shoplifting in ways that the entire store can assist with and understand.

 Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase retail anti theft devices and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system from Checkpoint Systems to stop shoplifting in your store.

Smoke and Mirrors

My teenage son and I went to our favorite BBQ joint for lunch. As we were walking in, he noticed the sign that had their slogan on it “All smoke and no mirrors”. He was a bit confused and couldn’t figure out why someone would cook BBQ with a mirror.

 I realized that he had grown up in the convincingly “real” world of computer animation and digital effects. He had no clue that magicians used smoke and mirrors to create the illusions for them to pull off their magic tricks.

 The last thing you want in your retail security is for the thieves to think your anti theft devices are all smoke and mirrors. Many stores used to have dummy domes and cameras to give the illusion of retail security.

 That only works for so long. Once the word gets out that they are just fakes, the shrink losses start to increase. Better to spend your time and energy with the real thing from the start. If you are using cheap tags and cheap labels, get the ones that are reliable and work properly every time.

What can we do?

When you want to stop shoplifting in your stores, the easiest thing to do is to start using anti theft devices for retail security. They will help deter a large majority of people who would consider shoplifting. If it is no longer easy to do, this percentage will simply stop and go somewhere else that is an easy target.

 Unfortunately, that leaves you with a different element of shoplifter, ones that are a little bit more seasoned, or desperate. Either way, anti theft devices are not going to dissuade them from stealing your goods.

 These are the people who must be caught in order for them to stop. You have the right to detain a shoplifter. You have a right to recover your merchandise and prevent a loss.

 You cannot just stop anyone because you felt like it, or you think they did something. You need to be sure. You need to know exactly which item they have, and where they concealed or hid it on their person.

 You also need to either call local law enforcement or let them go within a timely manner (think less than an hour). Check your local jurisdiction for exact information.

Prosecuting a minor

I hate it when kids steal. There is no good scenario for anyone under the age of 18 to be caught shoplifting. To start with, I firmly believe in the innocence of a child, even if that child is ready to graduate from high school and is almost an adult. Shoplifting turns into much more serious issues if undetected.

 Retail security is primarily designed for adults who knowingly violate the laws and understand the gravity of their consequences. Retail anti theft devices work best with adults because they know what these anti shoplifting tools are for.

 For small children, EAS tags don’t work because they don’t know what they do. Most children, up to a certain age, may know that it is wrong to take something that doesn’t belong to them, but aren’t fully aware of the meaning of shoplifting.

 Some small children (under five) may not even know that it is wrong.

 It’s the older, teenage crowd that shoplifts out of a dare, peer pressure, or for fun. They may think it is all a joke because they think they have the get out of jail free card until they turn 18. The good thing about anti shoplifting devices, however, is that it only takes one time of trying to take something that doesn’t belong to them for them to learn what these devices do.

“How do you stop shoplifting?”

It is a simple question “How do you stop shoplifting?” Unfortunately there isn’t always a simple answer. It all depends on your product, your store, and your employees and of course your use of a Checkpoint Security System.

So what type of product do you carry? More importantly, what type of product are you loosing? Retail theft prevention revolves around matching specific products or items with specific anti shoplifting solutions. Inventory losses in accessories will need a different fix than inventory losses in power tools or electronics.

You can set your store up to enhance your anti shoplifting techniques. For example, move high ticket or high theft items farther from the doors. You can keep these same items closer to where you employees will be, like at a service counter, or wrap stand.

Your employees need to be versed on your company’s policy of how to stop shoplifting. Retail theft prevention isn’t all about apprehending a shoplifter. Nothing is more effective than your employees giving great customer service.

Of course your Checkpoint Security System should at a very minimum employ the use of EAS tags and labels. Adding in cameras and public view monitors enhance the effectiveness of the overall presentation. Just keep in mind that cameras don’t catch crooks, they only deter them.

Value Point Plus

Soft EAS tags (EAS Labels) are great. They are simple to use, versatile in their applications, and easy to apply right where you need them. As far as anti theft devices go, these are pretty top notch. The only thing better than a good label is a cheap label.

 The value point plus line of cheap labels provides that same versatility and quality that you want out of a name brand anti theft device, while keeping their prices low. Another great point is that they are compatible with your existing Checkpoint system.

 The value point plus soft labels work with your thermal printer to help mesh these labels into your stores visual standards. You can print on them bar codes, or pricing, company logos, or you can just leave them blank.

 The labels will adhere to a wide range of textures and materials, or they can be left on their backing if you wanted to slide them into a pocket of a purse or wallet, for example.

 Value point plus means that you get the VALUE of an inexpensive label PLUS the rest of the features to provide retail security for your products.
