Many retailers are taking an aggressive stance in their security programs. Many retailers are putting together anti shoplifting programs that will protect their assets. Retail theft prevention involves more than just hiring loss prevention officers. There are many other things needed to make a program work. Checkpoint security system can provide the proper equipment such as checkpoint security tags. This is a step in a right direction; checkpoint systems are geared toward protecting a stores asset.

In any retail business retail theft prevention must be address and taken seriously for them to work. This was an issue I had to address at one of my assignments I arrived at this one establishment. The location did not have a proper retail theft prevention program in place. Their anti shoplifting program consisted of a few fake cameras and signs stating the store was being watched. I explained that even though an anti shoplifting program is not going to prevent all of the theft, but Checkpoint security system will definitely help address the theft issue. Checkpoint security tags on merchandise will become a deterrent automatically, but when working together with the checkpoint systems will become a more effective system.

After the checkpoint security system was put into operation working together with a checkpoint security tags and a security staff. When they checked their shrink numbers six months later after inventory saw an improvement in all areas. This proved that checkpoint system does work proving that a good security system is a very good investment for any business.

All retailers experience shoplifting at some point or other.  I have found that the smaller volume and specialty stores are often less likely to have anti shoplifting efforts in place as opposed to the larger chain counterparts.  One specialty retail setting that has a large variety of chain stores and independently owned stores are drug stores.  Now we all know that the chain stores use anti shoplifting devices such as EAS tags, CCTV and RX caps.  But I often find that independently owned drug stores don’t have many retail theft prevention efforts in place.

A word of advice is that all stores need anti shoplifting tools in order to remain profitable.  Shoplifters target stores that don’t use tools such as Checkpoint security tags and Checkpoint security systems.  Shoplifters are smart.  They quickly learn who is protecting themselves and who is not.  Then they take the smaller risk and steal from the stores without retail theft prevention devices.  There are many great tools that are available to small drug stores.  You don’t have to be a chain store to qualify for protection.  Checkpoint systems is very cost effective and is well known by shoplifters.  When a would-be shoplifter enters the store and sees the Checkpoint systems pedestals they know immediately that their job just got more risky.

And to be honest, that is the point.  Store employees can’t spend all day dealing with shoplifters and still give the customers the service they need.  Instead of sacrificing time doing business you can use Checkpoint security tags and Alpha RX Caps to deter your theft and keep your profits safe.  This will allow you to control losses and focus more on growing sales and customer satisfaction.

There are many different ways for shoplifters to steal from a store.  The obvious way is for a shoplifter to conceal product and walk out without paying for it.  Another very common method, but one not often talked about, is ticket switching.  This method of theft involves taking the price label off of a low priced item and placing it on a high priced item.  The shoplifter will then go to the register and if the cashier does not catch the price change then the customer will pay pennies on the dollar for the product.

So how can you prevent this?  One answer is to make sure your cashiers are trained on your products so they have a basic knowledge of the merchandise price points.  They then have to pay attention to what they are ringing and question when an items seems to be priced unusually low.  To help I also suggest using Checkpoint security tags from Checkpoint Systems.  When you use Checkpoint Systems it is not necessary to put the Checkpoint security tags on all merchandise.  I suggest only putting them on high dollar and high theft items.  The immediate benefit is that shoplifters are wary of stealing products when they see you have a Checkpoint security system in place.  Remember, retail theft prevention is really the goal.

The second benefit is that if a customer comes to the register with an item that is low priced AND has an anti shoplifting device a red flag should go off to the cashier.  Since you generally put Checkpoint security tags on high dollar merchandise there would be no reason for an anti shoplifting device on the low priced item, thus the ticket could have been switched.  One quick price check from the department and you may have just stopped yourself from a loss.

All major retailers use a checkpoint security system.  The reason for this is simple.  Retail theft prevention is a priority!  Big retail has learned over the years that 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 budget 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 merchandise.

Checkpoint systems are the first thing a shoplifter looks for when considering which businesses to attack.  Having a checkpoint 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).

I started in the loss prevention industry over twenty years ago and things have changed tremendously.  Retail theft prevention is more than stopping your typical shoplifter.  There are many different systems put in place to prevent shoplifting and a Checkpoint security system uses various supplies in retail theft prevention.  Checkpoint security tags are one of various types of anti shoplifting devices available to business both large and small.

Checkpoint systems provide all the needed anti shoplifting equipment to help in the war on retail theft. The other part of the equation to help in this war is team work among employees. Business owners must explain to their employee the importance of retail theft prevention and all of the different ways this can be done. Employers must show employees how to place checkpoint security tags on properly and how they work together with the checkpoint systems.

If the equipment works properly and does the job it was meant to do then your retail theft prevention program will succeed. Anti shoplifting equipment has been around for years, but companies like Checkpoint systems keeps up to date with all the changes that occur.  So with every update in shoplifting methods Checkpoint security system comes up with updated Checkpoint security tags. This ensures that they can keep up to date with all the shoplifting techniques that arise every day.

The most common stolen item at my store is denim. Until recently we had little to no anti shoplifting measures. It was like a free-for all. Items that were walking out the door just as fast as we were able to fill the shelves because we had no anti shoplifting devices. How are we supposed to do our jobs as loss prevention if the companies weren’t helping us out with any anti shoplifting support?

We recently started using Checkpoint security tags. Which makes sense since we are already using Checkpoint security systems for the store alarm. The Checkpoint security tags are simple and get the job done. You place the pin into the clothing and attach the tag portion and BAM anti shoplifting device to the rescue!

Checkpoint security tags are the king and queen in retail theft prevention. When a company starts using security tags it has a 30% return on investment (ROI) in the first year of installing them. I have worked with Checkpoint systems at other retailers. I have used their camera systems, alarm systems, deactivation pads, EAS (Electronic Article System) towers, and security tags. Checkpoint systems make my job a lot easier.

When scanning cameras looking to catch a shoplifter one of my favorite things to look for is people checking the merchandise for Checkpoint security tags. That is the first indicator that tells us that this person is looking to steal something. Most shoplifters will go through a few stacks of jeans to find one missing its security tag. I once had the Director of Loss Prevention for my company in my store. He had heard that we had been dealing with a lot of denim boosters in our stores and wanted to see the video. When we played it for him he had us pause and rewind it several times. He pointed out how the guys would check the pants for tags as they selected them. He really enjoyed seeing that the extra measures we have taken with security by adding checkpoint security tags to our merchandise were really paying off. When we first started using Checkpoint systems there was a lot of push back from the stores thinking we were going to hurt merchandise sales because of it. The Director of Loss Prevention had us copy the video for him and he played it for others in the company that were skeptical about using the Checkpoint systems. He showed them exactly where we are making an impact to their bottom line. Without these tags we would have lost a lot more merchandise then we did that year. We never heard another complaint after that. Just goes to show that Checkpoint security systems really work for retailers.

Retail theft prevention is a priority for all retailers and the use anti shoplifting devices is the first step to protect merchandise from internal and external 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.

A retailer I once worked for used a checkpoint security system as the backbone of its anti shoplifting program.  We learned quickly that retail theft prevention must always be a priority so checkpoint systems were installed at every entrance to the store and checkpoint security tags were placed on any item we identified as a target for shoplifters.

We went about our business as usual and before we knew it our checkpoint security system was identifying and deterring our shoplifters.  These individuals attempted to remove the checkpoint security tags but were unsuccessful because the checkpoint security system gave us a chance to provide a little added customer service flare to our special guests.

The shoplifters were never seen for heard from again!

Retail theft prevention must be a priority to protect your company’s bottom line and checkpoint systems is the most comprehensive form anti shoplifting devices.

It is officially that time of year.  Hunting season has made its way around and many Sporting Goods stores are feeling the crunch of the economy.  For several years sales in this type of retail environment have been tough.  The fact is, outdoor sports gear is not a necessity and as families are struggling this is one area that dad (or mom) may not have the money to buy new gear.  But don’t think this fact stops them from wanting the new gear.  They are forced to steal as opposed to buy.

It is important that these retailers rely on anti shoplifting devices, such as Checkpoint security tags, in order to promote retail theft prevention.  The Checkpoint security tags are a major component to the Checkpoint security system.  The Checkpoint security tags can be affixed to most any product you sell.  Having worked in a large chain that specialized in hunting and fishing products I understand the value.  There are many items that can be tagged with hard tags.  Instead of using the pin to go through the product like you would clothing; you can use a lanyard to attach the hard tag to most all large items on the shelf (i.e. guns, bows, fishing rods and reels, etc.).  Additionally, you can use soft tags to protect everything else.

When the items leave without the tags being removed the Checkpoint systems alarm will sound and give you the ability to react to potential theft.  The Checkpoint security system will also help you to identify who is stealing so you can catch them in the future.  Finally, and most importantly anti shoplifting devices offers you retail theft prevention value.  Shoplifters will see the tags and think twice about stealing which is what you really want.

In the early days of retail theft prevention, there were not electronic systems, or tags that set off alarms, or anything other than perhaps an employee’s watchful eye. There were still plenty of shoplifters stealing from businesses, but there was not the anti shoplifting technology businesses have available today. Business suffered because of this fact, since there have always been thieves ready to take what does not belong to them.

A Checkpoint security system is an example of that technology that is now readily available. Checkpoint security tags can be placed on items that you feel are at risk for theft. The tags alert store employees by sounding an alarm if they should exit your business without be deactivated or removed at purchase. Checkpoint systems are what your business may need to help combat the shoplifting that is attacking your potential profits.

Working in the retail loss prevention field, I see time and time again the creative ways that customers choose to steal from businesses. We share these techniques with others in the field in order to help prevent losses to our businesses, but sometimes it does feel as if we are fighting a never ending battle. Checkpoint systems can help your business win some of the battles you are fighting against the shoplifters in your store.

Anti shoplifting has come a long away as technology continues to improve and more options become available for businesses. Investing in technology such as a Checkpoint securitysystem can be worthwhile, so you can best utilize the technology available to make a positive impact on your profitability and shrink reduction. Retail theft prevention has come a long way, and you can make it work for you.
