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.

So as the battle of shoplifter versus loss prevention continues Checkpoint security system will be in the front lines using their Checkpoint security tags as one of the many weapons to combat retail theft.

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.

If you work in the grocery business you know that theft is a real part of everyday life.  When I first started working Loss Prevention in this retail setting I was blown away at the amount of theft that occurs.  To that end it is important to use anti shoplifting devices, such as Checkpoint security tags, in an effort to prevent theft.  True retail theft prevention is about deterring theft as opposed to reacting to it.  This is even more important in a grocery store.

Consider this.  If a shoplifter steals a shirt by stuffing it in the front of their pants and pulling their jacket closed; you can still sell the shirt when you make the apprehension.  Now, imagine that same shoplifter shoving a pack of steaks down his pants.  Even if you make the apprehension you can’t in good conscience sell that product.  You have to throw it away which creates shrink even though you caught the bad guy.  Additionally, most grocers don’t have full time LP in every store.  The store personnel are responsible for the retail theft prevention on top of their other responsibilities (which are amazingly numerous).

To that end we have to help them by providing anti shoplifting tools.  The Checkpoint security system is a top notch system.  There are a variety of Checkpoint security tags that can be placed on many different types of merchandise.  I use labels on my boxed products.  They are also useful on cans of formula and other odd shaped items as they easily conform to the package.  Additionally, items like EAS soaker pads can be used for high end meat and seafood.  Checkpoint systems are also recognized by shoplifters.  They are much more likely to steal from a store that doesn’t have a Checkpoint security system than they are from you.

You are a business owner living the American dream, operating a profitable business. You are not one to let shoplifting stand in the way of good profits and common business sense. You want to do what you can to protect your merchandise. This American dream can only be a reality if retail theft prevention is an important part of your business plans.

 

An option for anti shoplifting strategies in your business is a Checkpoint security system. Checkpoint security tags can be attached to your high theft merchandise, allowing for you to display it prominently, increasing visibility and sales. Merchandise displayed out in the open, as opposed to merchandise that is secured in locked cases, can experience higher sales. Customers do not have to wait for a sales associate to unlock the merchandise and the customer also does not feel pressure to make a decision about the product they are looking at.

 

 Checkpoint security tags also are a visual deterrent to the shoplifter, telling them that you do have some knowledge about retail theft prevention. Shoplifters do not want to have to take the time to figure out how to get around your anti theft devices. It is easier to move on to an unprotected business.

 

We often feel as if the shoplifters are one step ahead of us. It is frustrating to see the various methods that thieves use to rip off our businesses. Minimal investment in retail theft prevention, such as Checkpoint systems, can put you as the business owner a significant step ahead of the losses that you previously experienced. You do not have to let that dream of profitability die.

A lot has been written about anti shoplifting devices like the Checkpoint security system. But the most versatile tools in the war are Checkpoint security tags. Checkpoint security tags work with your Checkpoint security system in a retail theft prevention aspect.

Unlike acousto magnetic labels, which are about the size, shape and thickness of a piece of “chicklet” gum the Checkpoint labels are paper-thin making the versatile in that they can either be easily hidden inside packaging or placed obviously on the outside as an altogether deterrent.

They come in so many varieties that it is hard to keep up with them. Checkpoint security tags can be white, black, clear which allows a packages barcode to show through. They can be printed on with your own printed with barcodes, logos, pricing information and more. You can also stick your own label over the top of them.

As far as size, Checkpoint labels have a wide range of sizes. This ranges from the postage stamp size to a 1.5” x 1.5” size. And there are many in between. For example the very popular 710 label is 1.3” x 1.4”. There are two sizes of round labels and they fit very well on the bottom of bottles such as medicines. They also work very well on the bottom of small square boxes. The round shape means that the corners of a label do not hang over the edges.

Another great series of Checkpoint security tags is the 615. The 615-barcode label has not only a fake barcode but also a small box printed on it that allows another sticker to be applied such as a logo or price tag. This all goes to hiding the intent of the Checkpoint labels.

And, of course, in the arsenal of retail anti shoplifting devices is the Checkpoint systems themselves. Checkpoint Systems latest tool is the Evolve system. As anti shoplifting goes this is the top of the pile. Evolve has so many features packed into it I will need to write a separate blog for that. But for now consider the following Evolve features: superior detection with new revolutionary electronics, people counting, alarm detection that can tell if a customer is entering or leaving the store.

If you work in retail you know that business in many areas is starting to pick back up, but you know that theft is also still on the rise.  The fact is, many are still unemployed or have had to take pay cuts or reduced roles in order to survive.  This means that there are a lot of people in need and many who still want to live the same lifestyle they always have.  For us, that means we have to protect our profits more than ever in order to keep our companies protected as well as our employees jobs.

To do this we rely heavily on anti shoplifting devices as a major form of retail theft prevention.  I like Checkpoint systems as my provider for anti shoplifting devices.  There are several components to utilize.  First are Checkpoint security tags that can be placed on any product in order to add protection.  There are a variety of Checkpoint security tags that can be used.  There are varying sizes of hard tags as well as soft tags for boxed products and packages.

Secondly, you need the Checkpoint security system.  The tags won’t do much good without the Checkpoint security system to sound the alert when product is leaving with tags attached.  This system has pedestals at the doors and when a tagged item passes through the pedestals read the RF signature in the sensor tag and set off an alarm which alerts your employees.

The final component to the Checkpoint systems is the employees themselves.  They have to be trained on how to routinely test the equipment to ensure functionality.  They also have to be trained on how to respond properly to the activation of the Checkpoint security system in order to ensure customer service and retail theft prevention.
