Why is that Missing? – Retail Theft Prevention

Are you missing random quantities of merchandise? Ones that might not have any Checkpoint Security Tags? Perhaps items that aren’t normally on your high shrink list? If you are, then you are probably being hit by an amateur shoplifter and you may want to take another look at your retail theft prevention strategy.

What is an amateur shoplifter?  They can be anyone who enters your store with the intent to steal. It can be a teenager on a dare, a grandmother on a fixed income, or even a mother with a small baby. Amateurs are not hardened criminals. The last thing they want is to be caught.

To stop shoplifting of clothing, bags, and shoes and to greatly reduce the losses incurred by this particular type of thief, use the Checkpoint System of anti shoplifting devices. The use of Checkpoint tags are usually enough of a deterrent for most amateur shoplifters; a Checkpoint Security System is a great tool for retail theft prevention.

Amateurs do not want to run the risk of exposure. Since anti shoplifting devices are nearly impossible to remove, and these thieves know the alarm will sound if they try to leave with the merchandise, it is in their best interest to go to a different store and leave yours alone.

As I watch amateur shoplifters picking up clothes, it is not uncommon that they check each piece of clothing for a Checkpoint tag. If the garment didn’t have a Checkpoint security tag attached, it would be stolen. 

Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase Anti-Shoplifting devices and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system from Checkpoint Systems to stop shoplifting in your store.
