Shoplifting happens to the best of us. No matter how many protections we place in and around our store, shoplifting is going to happen and there is nothing we can do about it… At least that’s how some business owners seem to think.
The reality is that most shoplifting can be prevented. Some of them might be easy fixes, and some of them might require a more complex system to keep the shrink losses at bay.
The difference between the two thought processes is in the amount of loss prevention training you have. The more training and education you have, the better your chances of reducing your overall shrink losses.
The key is in knowing what your specific store vulnerabilities are and how they happen. Maybe you have inattentive employees on the weekends. Perhaps your high theft merchandise would benefit from being placed at the front of the store where employees can watch it better. Can you use EAS and other retail anti theft devices to keep your desirable products on the sales floor for customers, but deterring theft at the same time?
Loss prevention training isn’t just about how to apprehend a shoplifter. It is about identifying your store’s vulnerable areas and finding plausible, financially sound, and effective solutions for them.
