Be Prepared

The boy scouts have a long-standing motto to always be prepared. For all of you ex boy scouts out there, I am sure that you have often incorporated this into your adult lives. When you look into retail theft prevention, the motto applies here, as well.

There are some very well prepared, well-organized criminals out there. They operate in organized crime rings. These rings can be anywhere from a few people to sometimes hundreds of people working in various capacities in the chain. There can be ties to mafia or even foreign terrorists being funded through these criminal activities.

While it may seem that when you are faced with protecting yourself against a highly sophisticated, and often well-funded venture, there may not feel like there is much that you can do to compete with them.

It is actually the contrary. Successful anti shoplifting techniques comes from the very basic principles of retail theft prevention.

At the very forefront is to be prepared. Utilize anti shoplifting devices like a Checkpoint security system.

A Checkpoint security system may include everything from hard tags and soft EAS labels, to digital recording devices, a camera system, and monitors.

You can bet that anyone looking to score will be watching to see who has a protective system in place, and more importantly, who does not. Take a guess as to which store they will make their new target.

Better than Garlic

This time of year, it would maybe seem a little unusual to start talking about vampires and other ghouls walking amongst the living. When it comes to retail security and protecting retailers form theft, there is actually a strange connection between the two.

 Think about the common vampire character. They walk around looking and acting like they are no different than you or I. The closer you get, the more you discover that they are willing to swindle, defraud, con, or just plain take whatever they want without care or regard to anyone else.

 I personally see no difference between that and your everyday, commonplace shoplifter.

 Instead of using garlic and wooden stakes to fend off vampires, shoplifters require their own tools. Anti theft devices like cheap tags and cheap labels work efficiently to send shoplifters back to the seedy undergrounds that they came from.

 Just like any other Hollywood horror story, let the good guys win in the end. Use the right tools in the right way to outsmart to evildoers in the world. A little dramatic, maybe, but the underlying principle stands true.

Cutting Payroll? What’s Your Back Up Plan??

The economy is struggling that is a fact. Payrolls have been cut and employees are being asked to do more with 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. 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 mid 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 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. 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.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Earth Day just passed, and with it all of the handy tips and lists of how we can each do our part to save the planet. One by one they rolled out their top five or ten do’s and don’ts to protect the environment. As we look to reduce our shrink, we can use anti theft devices as part of a green retail security plan to compliment our anti shoplifting tactics.

 EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) hard tags are a wonderful eco-friendly device. Even though the hard tags are made of plastic (which is generally not an environmentally friendly choice) they are still a green solution.

 The main reason: EAS hard tags are reusable. This handy little anti theft device can be used over and over again. The tags go on the product before they are put on display for sale. At the wrap stands, your cashiers remove the tags.

 The easiest way to recycle them is to set up two separate bins. Put the tags in one and the pins in another. Then you simply take the full bins back to your receiving area to be reattached onto the incoming merchandise.

A diamond in the rough

Have you ever gone to a store because you saw an ad for an item that was such a great deal that you couldn’t resist not going to check it out? While I try to keep my impulse shopping to a minimum, I can reluctantly say that on a rare occasion, I have been swayed.

 Of course it always seems like this great sale is in the most inopportune place imaginable. I have convinced myself that driving for 30 min to the store across town to get that great bargain will be will worth the extra hassle.

 After I have gotten there, I have often been severely disappointed in the inferior quality of the item. Sometimes, you really do just get what you pay for.

 Other times, I have been so impressed with the sale that I can’t help but to rave about what a great find it was! It makes the drive and the time invested all worthwhile.

 Cheap tags and cheap labels are the same way. Sometimes you find out that they are really just a cheap foreign made product not worth the time. Others like these cheap tags and cheap labels make it all worthwhile. They really are your diamond in the rough.

Get that grill fired up

It is time to make your plans for 4th of July weekend. Like all good red-blooded American holidays, we will eagerly await backyard BBQs, picnics in the park, swimming, finishing some to-dos, and of course scouring the best sales in the area.

 That also means that the stores will be full of shoplifters eagerly awaiting the distractions around them, so that they may conceal their criminal activities. One of the best preparations you can do is to make sure your anti theft devices are in place now and through the start of 4th of July weekend.

 Waiting until the Friday before to do some auditing and then hoping they are correct will be too late. Your stores will be (hopefully) way to busy to deal with preparations of this kind.

 Plan ahead so that you and your staff can actually enjoy the holiday shoppers knowing that your inventory is secure and your anti shoplifting practices are ready to go.

 When you finally get to go home to your own celebrations, rest and relax knowing your preparations paid off.

A Game of Cat and Mouse

If you have ever tried to stop shoplifting in your stores, you know it can be a daunting task that seems to be never ending. Just when you think your anti shoplifting methods have started to show results, the thieves seem to find a way to circumvent your systems. It is a perpetual game of cat and mouse.

 Retail theft prevention is as unique as every shoplifting case I have ever worked. The things that thwart one shoplifter or one group does not always work for another. Anti shoplifting methods are varied to combat this issue.

One of the first steps to stop shoplifting is to install a Checkpoint security system.  Most people associate Checkpoint security systems with just the use of Checkpoint labels. The reality is, a Checkpoint security system also includes cameras, monitors, recording devices in addition to the Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags.

The addition of these other anti shoplifting tools helps create a better plan of attack. By not relying on just one tool or method, you have a much better chance of staying ahead of the game. When the shoplifters change the rules, you will still be one step ahead of them, or at least well enough ahead to plan your next move.

 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.

Why Do Tags Work

When you are looking for retail security tools and resources, one of the first things you will come across are EAS Tags and Labels. They are the industry standard in anti theft devices for several reasons. When you are making a decision to invest in any retail security measure, it is best to know all the potential advantages of using that item.

  One of the biggest advantages is recognition. Because almost every big box retailer uses EAS tags and labels for anti shoplifting, the typical American shopper knows what they are. They are aware that the alarm will sound if the tags and labels aren’t properly removed.

 Shoplifters are also keenly aware of how hard they are to defeat. Without the proper deactivators or detachers, it is virtually impossible to defeat discreetly.

 The tags and labels are easy to use. Tags are simple to attach to merchandise and come in a wide variety of applications. Same thing goes for the EAS labels.

 Cheap tags and cheap labels are available for the budget conscious. There is no need to break the bank trying to stop shoplifting.

 Make a wise decision and use the tools that will give you the most well rounded resource available.

The Demand Curve

In economics, there is a principle called the demand curve. It is defined as a consumer’s willingness to pay for goods is directly related to the utility derived from consumption of the unit. Basically, the more someone wants something because of its value or use, the higher the price they are willing to pay for it. 

In the retail security world, the price someone is willing to pay for an item may not be just monetary. If an item is deemed valuable enough, or needed enough, some people will go to any lengths to obtain it.

 That can include any number of ways to get it on sale, or at a discount from coupons.  I have seen people damage items to get a reduction in price. I have also seen my share of fraud, and of course theft.

 Shoplifters can be willing to pay the price of their own freedom to obtain an item they desperately want or need. They are willing to throw away their reputation, careers, and, of course, run the risk of incarceration just to get those items.

Use Your Powers For Good Instead of Evil

There are no standard rules of engagement when it comes to retail theft prevention. Sure, there are things that are illegal and unethical that you need to stay away from. As a generalization, there is no set way to stop shoplifting, because there will always be shoplifters trying to come up with the next ingenious idea to steal.

I have often commented on how much better the world would be if all of the deviants put the same amount of time into being a productive part of society as they do trying to criminalize it.

With that in mind, using the tried and true anti shoplifting methods to stop shoplifters is an effective plan. One of the most common retail theft prevention resources is the Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags that you find with a Checkpoint security system.

Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags are effective because they deter the majority of shoplifters merely with their presence. There is a widespread understanding of a Checkpoint security system with both amateur and experienced shoplifters.

The inexperienced ones that steal on a dare or because of an unexpected opportunity can cause the most damage. Luckily, those are also the shoplifters who avoid stealing in the presence of a Checkpoint system.
