Many retailers who sell electronics are faced with a multitude of problems as they cling onto as much of their profits as what they can. Retail theft prevention is just the start of their inventory woes. Along with show rooming, merchandise theft has one of the biggest impacts on profitability.

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.

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 retail theft prevention conscious.

The Alpha Security Atlas Display is a great solution for both problems. It will secure the device while allowing a wider range of accessibility for the customer.

One important piece to selling electronics is the ability to demonstrate them. When a customer is looking to buy a new tablet or phone, they want to be able to push the keys, turn it on and see how it is going to work for them. When they can use it, the customer is better informed and more likely to buy it. When retail theft prevention locks those items up and prevents demonstrations, a customer is more likely to pass on that purchase.

There are retail theft prevention devices that work wonderfully to stop shoplifting electronics when they are in the packages. To allow a customer to be fully immersed and hands on with the product, other anti shoplifting tools need to be used to secure a working display from theft.

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

In addition to the traditional retail theft prevention that is provided by Checkpoint systems, Alpha Security Atlas Displays create an open and inviting experience for your customers.

It has been proven over and over that when a customer can access a product (especially electronics) 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 can’t stop shoplifting while your customers are trying out a display model.

The Atlas display allows for such a marriage of retail theft prevention and customer access through these well thought out features:

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. Internal alarm and flashing LED indicates if product is tampered with. Back-up battery maintains constant security if power is lost or power supply is interrupted. 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.

In Greek Mythology, Atlas was tasked with holding the heavens up to separate them from Earth. Based on that story, whenever we see someone carrying large emotional loads, we often describe them as an Atlas. They are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. It is fitting that the Atlas anti shoplifting display carries a load both literally and figuratively.

The Atlas is a low profile stand that displays your store’s electronics like tablets, cameras, GPS and mobile phones. This self contained unit sits atop your display counters and holds your electronic in place. The cord system that is contained within the stand allows customers to access the product more completely while continuing to provide retail theft protection.

If you are trusting anti shoplifting products like the Atlas to stop shoplifting, the product needs to do more than retail theft prevention. It also needs to be an enhancement to your sales model.

The Atlas has a built in power display that provides power to your display electronics. This way the customer can actually use the products and compare models literally side by side. A back up battery provides power in case of an outage so you are never left without.

Anti theft devices provide the visual deterrent needed to prevent retail theft by most of the common shoplifting groups. For some, it might seem counterproductive to give away your secrets as to what kinds of security you use to prevent retail theft.

For most amateur or opportunistic shoplifters, this is not necessarily the case. You see, when someone is looking to steal, they are going to look for the path of least resistance. If they do not see any anti shoplifting tools, they assume the path is clear of any type of resistance.

This makes a store a bigger target, or a product more likely to be stolen. When you start to use Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels to prevent retail theft you are showing the potential thieves what they are up against in order to steal successfully.

When faced with additional obstacles to get the product out the door with out being caught, most of these non-professional shoplifters will either abandon the thought of stealing, or they will go someplace else to steal their goods.

A large part of retail theft prevention actually comes in the form of education. That means educating your employees on why you use Checkpoint Labels and Checkpoint Tags. It also means educating them on what behaviors a shoplifter demonstrates, and also what they can do to deter the shoplifter from stealing. The more information your employees have to be a part of the solution, the better the chances that they will make attempts to better your business.

Sharing this same information with potential shoplifters is equally as important as a deterrent. That doesn’t mean your employees shout across the store that they think a customer is a shoplifter and they are being watched.

 It means that Checkpoint Labels and Checkpoint Tags are not hidden. They are placed strategically and obviously so shoplifters are aware that the store is being protected. While you don’t want to put these anti shoplifting devices in places where customer service and care will be negatively affected, a balance between the two extremes needs to be found.

The same thing goes with signage stating things like “shoplifters will be prosecuted” and “the premises is under video surveillance”. 

 These signs should be displayed prominently so the information can be readily shared with anyone thinking that they might come steal from your store. A front window is an ideal place, as is the inside of a fitting room. Be careful to not completely plaster your store with these signs and risk alienating your real customers.

The point of organized retail crime is to take advantage of other retailer’s merchandise for his or her own benefit. These thieves do not care if they get their haul in one big job, or in multiple smaller ones. While major retailers have multiple locations and larger quantities of desirable merchandise making them attractive to organized retail crime, they also have more security and theft prevention resources available to help combat those thefts and inventory losses.

Smaller retailers, who may not have the most desirable selection of merchandise, may actually find themselves more prone to organized retail crime because their stores are more vulnerable without inventory security devices, or other EAS and camera systems.

National estimates are around 30 billion dollars worth of losses at the hands of Organized Retail Theft crimes. You heard that right, 30 BILLION dollars in losses. 

That is massive. It is also indicative that these crimes are so widespread that they will affect every retailer, both large and small. The biggest take away is that organized retail crime will seek out the greatest path of least resistance. 

If you have any merchandise at all that can be resold, or otherwise profited from, and you have minimal store security, you can bet that organized retail crime will be a factor in your store.

There is a new thought emerging around how customers shop at different locations based around their perceived safety. The studies are centered on a fear of crime in ordinary shoppers. The higher the fear, the more likely for avoidance behavior- basically a shopper will either altogether avoid a store, or will get in and out really quickly.

Both avoidance behaviors result in a loss of sales for the retailer in question. Obviously if customers will not even enter a store, there is no way to sell them anything. If a customer comes in, but rushes to get out, all carefully laid out merchandising plans, sales and promotions do no good to generate additional sales- the customer is simply oblivious to them.

What you can do to prevent avoidance behavior of this kind is to create a safe environment for your customers and your employees. Make sure parking lot lights are on (and working) when it starts to get dark. Use EAS tags and other kinds of theft prevention like cameras and domes to deter shoplifters and other criminals from even entering your store. Build a relationship with your local police department, so they routinely stop by to say hi and make sure you are safe.

An online store is also a great way to reach a whole new customer base. Unless you are doing extremely well, you are probably not at a point where you need a separate and distinct shipping warehouse to fulfill your online orders.

That means you are fulfilling orders out of your existing stock, from your existing brick and mortar locations making it even more important to make sure your employees are packaging orders correctly.

They need to ensure the product’s size, color, brand and quantity are what have actually been ordered. Your employees also need to make sure that any security tags have been removed or deactivated.

Based upon the product being shipped can effect the potential for customer service fail when the customer receives the product. Soft tags are less likely than hard EAS tags to cause a major issue if they are not deactivated before shipping, but they may still cause some problems for the customer.

If you sell clothing that has a source tag embedded into the product (like some name brand running shoes are) it can cause problems for the customer later on. They might not realize there is a security tag in their shoes, and can potentially set off security systems as they wear these shoes out and about. This can lead to multiple embarrassing alarms, and ill will toward your store for putting them in that situation.

Do you know that anti theft devices can help you eliminate or reduce employee theft in your business? It took me a long time to figure that out. It wasn’t until I had some actual training in loss prevention that I realized how truly multifunctional Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels could be for your retail security.

I knew that anti theft devices were primarily designed for anti shoplifting purposes. What I didn’t know was how these same devices are a theft deterrent for employees. You see when an employee looks to steal merchandise, they go through a very similar process that a shoplifter does. They look for a quiet moment when no one is watching to commit their act. They look to figure out how to get the merchandise out of the store. They also look to see how which merchandise would be best to take.

If the merchandise has no anti shoplifting alarms attached, then the merchandise is more desirable. It will be easier to get out the door undetected by other employees or management.
