For many general merchandise businesses, health and beauty products are often a high theft item. These items can be taken for personal use. However, if you are missing large quantities (in particular all at once) then you are probably looking at a resale situation. Your anti shoplifting programs need to be able to identify and address this issue.

Shoplifters will steal an item in mass quantities (the entire shelf has been swiped clean of all of it’s merchandise) and find a place to re sell them for profit. This can be a pawnshop, ebay, or another local Mom and Pop store looking for a better profit margin.

Using Checkpoint Systems for retail theft prevention is an overall good solution to stop shoplifting.

Specifically, Checkpoint labels can be adhered to almost every box or package. They can also be pre printed with your own message.

Think about having Checkpoint labels printed with a message stating that this is an anti shoplifting label, if found for resale please call your store’s number. Then add your store’s name and phone number.

 This will help identify stolen product as being yours. Additionally, this retail theft prevention identifies the item as being monitored, deterring theft to begin with. Lastly, any other business that might be interested in buying the stolen items will be hesitant, as they know they cannot sell the item out of their shop with that kind of label affixed to it.

Grocery items are turning into the next big add on for a lot of markets and general merchandise stores. Many are starting to add cooler systems to be able to sell fresh meats, instead of just packaged ones. This creates a great addition for the customers, but also adds a new opportunity for shoplifters. In turn, you must find a way to stop shoplifting of this new product.

What many consumers do not know is that Checkpoint Security tags actually go beyond the clothing department. They also have anti shoplifting tags that are designed for grocery applications. The RF Soaker Pad is one of those products created to stop shoplifting fresh meats.

The nice thing about using these Checkpoint Security tags is that there is no additional process that needs to be conducted for optimum retail theft prevention. The RF Soaker Pads are simply used instead of the non-EAS pads. The production department puts the new soaker pad on the Styrofoam package and then the meat goes on top.

The retail theft prevention food label that is imbedded in the soaker pad is designed to work after it has been in contact with the liquids. As long as at least half a pound of meat is placed on the soaker pad, the RF Soaker Pad is microwavable.

The Alpha Security Atlas Display is a great solution to anti shoplifting and show rooming. It will secure electronic devices while allowing a wider range of accessibility for the customer.

Show rooming is becoming more frequent as more shoppers are turning to online ordering and price comparisons. These savvy shoppers scour the internet sites for the best price of a particular electronic device they want. Rather than buying this item sight unseen, they drive to the closest brick and mortar store to visually inspect and understand the device. They are able to use the knowledgeable sales staff to answer any particular questions they might have. Unfortunately, these customers will then go back home an purchase online where the pricing is cheaper.

Inside the store, retailers need to provide displays so they have a fighting chance of securing the sale, instead of driving the already scarce customers elsewhere to make their purchases. In doing so, these electronic devices need to be accessible to the customer, but also need to be stop shoplifting.

The solution is to make sure that you have all of the displays working and accessible to the customer. If you are missing display, you can guarantee that the customer definitely will buy elsewhere. If you have the displays and knowledgeable staff, you have a better chance of convincing the customer why there is an advantage to buying the product then and there from your store.

Working in retail means that you have to evaluate a series of events or criteria at a moments notice. The goal being increased sales and profit. Being in stock with certain products at the right time can mean an increase in sales. If the product is missing and you still want those same increases, well, you have to quickly find a way to stop shoplifting.

One of the most common tricks to retail theft prevention is to employ anti- shoplifting devices and products like Checkpoint Systems. What if there was a way to immediately react to and possibly slow down the rate of theft without having a Checkpoint security system?

I suggest that everyone invests in some form of retail theft prevention. They have undisputable historical success in reducing theft in retail establishments. However, it does take time to get something installed. During that time, you don’t want to continue to experience the same rate of theft that you were.

Play to your rate of sale with those theft items. If you are only selling two boxes of razors in a week, for example, don’t put out five boxes. You don’t have the sales to support that quantity of product being on a shelf. It also gives the thieves access to a larger quantity of product to steal.

If you limit the razors to only two boxes, you might still lose two of them, but you won’t lose five boxes. You can always re-evaluate your shelf levels after the Checkpoint systems are installed.

When it comes to the sales of electronic devices, it has been proven over and over that when a customer can fully access a product they are more likely to purchase that item. If a product does not have a working display model that a customer can use, they will find a different retailer that does. That does not mean that you need to forego anti shoplifting so your customers can try out a display model.

The Atlas Display allows for such a marriage to stop shoplifting while enabling customer access.

The Atlas works with tablets, mobile phones, cameras, GPS devices and MP3 players. System provides power to merchandise so shoppers have the full experience. Security is monitored through multiple trigger points.

The internal alarm and flashing LED indicates if product is tampered with while the back-up battery maintains constant security if power is lost or power supply is interrupted. An adhesive on the base mounts securely to any flat surface without drilling holes. Programmable security key will arm or disarm system — up to 20 keys can be programmed for each stand. Backed by a global service and support network. Compliments Alpha Security’s line of S3 solutions.

Anti shoplifting and customer access combines seamlessly with the Alpha Security Atlas Displays.

To allow a customer to be fully immersed and hands on with electronic merchandise, retail theft prevention tools need to be used to secure a working display. When the customer can put their hands on the product, the customer is more likely to buy it. A working display lets the customer compare sizes, weights, and other functional capabilities of the item.

When anti shoplifting programs lock those items up and prevents demonstrations, a customer is more likely to pass on that purchase.

The Atlas system is a fully contained system that allows customers to use the display and still keep it secured. Because the Atlas display stand incorporates all of the components in its base, there is no need to drill into existing counters, or can be used on a glass display case. The internal alarm also has a flashing light that shows if it has been tampered with: a powerful deterrent to stop shoplifting.

The Atlas is appropriate for use with electronics like tablets, GPS, cameras, mobile phones and MP3 players.

This means that your employees are less concerned with retail theft prevention and more focused on product demonstrations. They know the Atlas displays will stop shoplifting and still allow customers to use the product.

Nothing is more frustrating than listening to anti-shoplifting pedestals continually going off throughout the day. I take that back, one thing even more frustrating is when the alarms are false alarms. Not only are false alarms an irritant for both your customers and your store’s employees, but also it proves to be an ineffective way to stop shoplifting.

I have had many experiences with Checkpoint systems failures that are a direct result of damage done to the EAS pedestals. Sometimes the damages were deliberate as someone tried to disengage our retail theft prevention. Other times it was much more benign, a direct result of countless shopping carts banging into the pedestals on their way out the door during a busy weekend.

Sometimes it was the water from the floor cleaner that would seep into the base and disrupt the electronic components. Regardless of method, the retail theft prevention we had would be rendered null and void due to these damages interfering with the system.

Technology has improved over time. Now the Checkpoint systems are much more durable. The bases are more resistant to water or to intentional tampering. The pedestals are also now constructed from impact resistant thermoplastics. All of which helps keep the systems running when they should and eliminating more of the false alarms that were a result from system failures and damages.

We had an employee theft interview last night. It was a shock because this employee was always pointing out other theft issues in the store. Had it not been for our Checkpoint Systems, we might never have caught him.

He was smart enough to understand that if he simply bagged up merchandise, the EAS alarm would sound when the anti shoplifting tags passed through the exit doors. So he made sure that he went to the register to deactivate all of the tags.

He also realized that if he was deactivating tags at the register, he needed it to look like he was helping a real customer. So he had friends come in to “check out”. We never suspected that if a customer was standing at the checkout with merchandise, and a cashier was ringing them up that we needed to be looking to stop shoplifting.

One day, he must have missed a tag because the alarm went off when the customer/ friend left. Later on when I reviewed the alarms and the receipts I realized that no actual sale took place. I researched more and found out just how many times he had been faking sales.

He admitted to doing the pass offs because he needed the money. His friends would come in and give him cash for the merchandise. He would ring them up and charge them half of the total and pocket the money. He then voided out the transaction to avoid a drawer shortage.

On a recent shopping trip, I ended up leaving a store without making a purchase. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to spend money; it was because I couldn’t find anything in their messy store. This wasn’t so much an issue of employee engagement or merchandise recovery practices. It was about anti shoplifting practices being nonexistent.

Because this particular store had been completely ransacked in their jewelry department. It was almost impossible to find what I needed. There were earrings missing, or lying on the ground in complete disarray. Without the threat of anti theft devices, shoplifters were tearing the jewelry department up. They knew they could get away with whatever they wanted.

It was frustrating as a customer to not be able to find what I needed quickly. It was even more frustrating having worked with anti theft devices before. I know that the simple addition of cheap tags and cheap labels could have prevented some of this mess.

When shoplifters are not intimidated in a store, they will ransack whatever they feel like. This is why there was such a mess. It was the aftermath of multiple shoplifters. Having anti shoplifting tools will reduce the scope of the shoplifters mess and will leave the area easier to shop by actual paying customers.
