Checkpoint labels are great tools in the arsenal of retail theft prevention and serve many purposes. The checkpoint labels are available in many different shapes, sizes, printable blank labels and custom printed options.
How checkpoint labels work is via RF (radio frequency) technology. The labels have circuitry built into them that react to checkpoint security systems antennas installed at entry and exit points for the purpose of retail theft prevention. The labels will generate a signal when they are positioned in range of the checkpoint antennas and set off the alarm. This will alert staff of the potential theft occurring and also alert the shoplifter that they are in trouble.
Using a checkpoint security system will increase employee awareness of potential shoplifters keeping more eyes on your merchandise and processing issues more effectively. Systems like this will send a message through the shoplifting community that the retailer is serious about retail theft prevention and the thieves will move on to other unprotected stores.
Less retail loss due to theft means more product available for sale and studies show that equates to a boost in sales. Price Waterhouse Coopers recently found just under 10% increase in sales with one retailer who installed a checkpoint security system and used checkpoint labels.
Less losses also mean boosted profits. Lose one $10 item and it will take the average retailer an additional $500 in sales to earn enough profit to recover from the loss. If you stop shoplifting losses the effect on profit margins are easily 50% to sometimes 100% increase in net margins.
