50 PRODUCTS THAT SHOULD BE PROTECTED WITH CHECKPOINT LABELS – PT6
Well here we are at the halfway point! I’m glad you’ve stuck around this long. I tried to think of some specialty retailers and specialized items that may get overlooked in the product protection strategy playbook. I’ve crafted yet another list of product that would make you a target for thieves if you’re not using EAS Labels.
22. Ceramic Dolls
Does anyone else out there have a grandmother, or aunt that just has this huge collection of ceramic dolls? And does anyone else think that when you’re over at said grandmother or aunt’s house, that the dolls watch you? Well, I do; and it’s a creepy hobby if you ask me, but to each their own I suppose. For me, this is my grandmother. She loves to go out and collect these dolls; no matter the price. I’ve been with her a few times when she makes her purchase. Normally, it is a small retailer, which may even be family owned. You walk in, and there are hundreds of ceramic dolls just staring at you… There are also no EAS labels either. So if you’re not scared of being haunted, they are easy to steal. Just like the dolls, Checkpoint Labels are always watching.
23. Key chains
How many gift shops have you stumbled your way into? Every single place we go, it seems like my girlfriend will find a gift shop; and they’re all the same.. They all carry the same basic items: T-Shirts from the city, shot glasses, magnets and of course key chains. I often wonder just how many get stolen every year. They are super small, easily concealable and often placed in back corners. A perfect storm for inviting theft. There are some smaller Checkpoint Labels out there that can be a great tool to use here.
24. Cookbooks
This goes back to my gift shop owners. You can always find a local cookbook in there as well. Why take the chance of a shoplifter taking this book? Use a Checkpoint Label to make sure your profits don’t burn like your bisque. Here’s a good tip for tagging books. Don’t do like so many retailers and put the label on the back cover. Criminals are stupid, but they aren’t dumb. They can easily attempt to defeat the label. Instead, hide the EAS Label on a random blank page in the book. That way, the tag is harder for the shoplifter to detect and will certainly still set the door alarm off if someone tries to walk away with your recipes!
25. Bedding Sets
I know, this one is a little random; but I didn’t have anywhere else to include it at. I recently found myself purchasing new bedding set. Egyptian cotton, 1000 thread count. I sleep like a baby. It also set me back more than I ever thought I’d pay for sheets, too. This is another item that is made perfect for the professional price-switcher. With just a little effort, a thief can swap out the tags and really give your P&L nightmares. Don’t’ let it happen to you. Use your Checkpoint Labels and sleep better knowing that your profits are staying in your pockets!
