What are those towers at the front of most retailers?
You know, those little things that you see everywhere, but perhaps haven’t thought much about? Chances are, it’s a part of that store’s Checkpoint security system. What is that, and what benefit could that have to my store you say? Well, probably too many to list, but I’ll try anyway.
What is a Checkpoint Security System?
It’s an all-encompassing, multi-pronged technology aimed at one goal; stop shoplifting. It’s more than just the towers you see at the front of the store. The entire system consists of hard tags, soft tags, other EAS devices, detachers and deactivators at the registers and of course, those very visible towers.
Why is it important for my business?
You want to stop shoplifting, right? You understand that your staff can’t be in every square inch of your store during every waking minute of the day. A Checkpoint Security System can be that extra set of eyes that never wander, never take a break and never let the thieves get away.
How does it work?
Well, it starts by applying EAS tags to merchandise throughout your store. There is an endless combination of sticky “soft” tags, hard tags and specialty tags that all will trigger an audible and visual alarm if they pass through those towers without first being removed, or deactivated at the point of sale. If a shoplifter knows that you are utilizing anti-theft technology in your store, they WILL think twice before concealing that pair of pants, or car GPS.
Does it interfere with my Legitimate Customers?
In short, absolutely, 100% no. A Checkpoint Security System is one of the most cost effective methods to stop shoplifting. Not only do the alarming towers give you notice to customers exiting the store with unpaid merchandise, the assorted variety of EAS tags provide a physical barrier to theft.
In short, a Checkpoint Security System is a vital part of any retail store. Simple systems and towers are incredibly inexpensive, provided a positive return on investment and helps you keep a low-price commitment to your honest customers. If you’re trying to find a way to stop shoplifting, look no further!
