Will the Checkpoint System Stop Shoplifters if They are Opportunists?

There are three main categories of shoplifters; the Opportunist, the Amateur, and the Professional. The Opportunist can be quite problematic, as they never plan in advance on stealing. They are presented with an opportunity such as getting back incorrect change at the register, a cashier not ringing up all items, or clothes left in a fitting room. The situation will get the better of them, and they will cause a loss to your store.

 So how can you stop shoplifting when it seems that they only steal by chance? It is all in the preparation. By using Checkpoint labels and Checkpoint security tags you can greatly decrease the opportunity to have your merchandise stolen.

 If a shirt is left in a fitting room and a customer goes in to try on some clothes, they may consider stealing that shirt since the employees don’t know its there. They will, however, look to see if there is an RF label or RF security tag. If one is present, they will leave the shirt and go about their business as they normally would.

 Same goes for smaller items like jewelry or wallets. If this customer notices no one paying attention as they shop this area, they are again presented with an opportunity to steal. As they consider slipping that wallet into their purse, They will look inside for signs of RF security labels or some sort of Checkpoint security tag.

 Using RF security labels and RF security tags is one of the easiest, cost effective deterrents to help stop shoplifting in your store. Once they are on your merchandise, they will stay on until removed at the point of sale. This visual presence will scare off the Opportunist shoplifter in your store.
