50 PRODUCTS THAT SHOULD BE PROTECTED WITH CHECKPOINT LABELS – PT 11
This is it! We’ve made it to the final segment in my 50 items to secure with Checkpoint Labels. At this point, I hope that you’ve found at least one item in here and thought that it made sense to tag. Maybe it helped you to see just how many items were at risk in your store. Whatever the case, I’m glad you stuck around this long and without adieu; I give you the remaining 5 items on my list.
46. Pre-Paid Cell Phones
Popular amongst folks that don’t want to be tied to a monthly contact; and also criminals. Burner phones are the way to go if you’re dabbling in the crime syndicates. With a small percentage of the market catering to a criminal element, it would only make sense to protect these against theft. EAS labels are a fantastic alternative to big bulky cases or cable wraps.
47. Toys
More specifically, Legos. These are some of the hottest targets for ORC groups. They are expensive, small and easy to conceal and can be resold in a matter of minutes on any number of online retail sites. Having Checkpoint Labels on the box with your store name/number will cut down on ORC activity. The boosters don’t want any way for product to be traced back to a specific store and this is one way to make that happen.
48. Denim Jeans
Over my career, I’ve tried dozens of way to protect denim product. From bulky hard tags front and center, to sewn in labels in the rear. Nothing has been quite as effective as a Checkpoint Label dropped into the back pocket of the pants. Thieves never check there and I’ve had huge success using this method. Heck, I can remember one thief in particular who pleaded with me in my office one day to show him where the tag was, as he couldn’t figure out how he missed it. Of course I didn’t give away my secret, and it’s still working for me today.
49. Socks
Another great category that drives shrink and is often overlooked in terms of product protection. While placing the EAS label on the packaging can easily be defeated, I’ve found great success by simply dropping a checkpoint label into one of the socks.
50. Underwear
No one really understands that underwear is one of those hot targets for ORC activity. Next time you’re at a flea-market, pay attention to how many “vendors” are selling packs of undies. Do you really think that each of these people have an account with the major underwear brands? Of course not. Make it easy for law enforcement (and yourself) to identify your stolen goods by using an EAS label with your store name printed on it. Chances are, that alone will keep your product in the store to begin with.
