The Key to Retail Theft Prevention

As a business in the U.S. today, with an economy that is tough (to say the least) it is important to maintain retail theft prevention.

There are a lot of things to consider with retail theft prevention and anti shoplifting initiatives. Everything from store hours to merchandise protection standards have to be looked at. How can a small chain of stores with limited resources create a retail theft prevention environment? Well it’s not as difficult as it sounds. Normal anti shoplifting initiatives will take money up front, but if you want to stop shoplifting and boost profits bring in consultants. Trying to do it yourself will only create a headache and lost dollars that could have been used to pay for a consultation in the first place. To stop shoplifting, you must know where you are being hit the hardest and what solutions are available to prevent it. Typical shoplifters go for the merchandise that is easily accessible, and have no retail anti theft devices like Checkpoint security tags with a Checkpoint Security System; merchandise can easily be taken from the store and sold for fast cash. Retail theft prevention involves rolling up your sleeves, taking a good solid look at the business and realizing what anti shoplifting initiatives it will truly take to stop shoplifting or significantly impact it. Retail anti theft devices, such as Checkpoint security tags with a Checkpoint Security System, are good solutions, however, without the appropriate knowledge and execution may prove ineffective.

As an industry professional for many years, I have had the opportunity to see and incorporate programs that have successfully impacted loss and have seen the benefits of a retail theft prevention program from its inception. Part of any program to stop shoplifting has to involve retail anti theft devices. As they work, retail anti theft devices will protect your merchandise and boost your profits, but only if you execute the program properly. Retail anti theft devices keep your merchandise is store and available for customers to buy.
