Are You Having A Problem Maintaining A Current Inventory Due To Shoplifting? Checkpoint Labels Can Provide a Cost-Efficient Means To Protect All Your Products Safely and Efficiently.
As a consumer I typically do not have a certain item that I shop for on a regular basis or that I have a hard time locating when I need it. I am a pretty simple person and my needs are pretty easily met, however that changed recently. I am a mother of three now, which I never thought would happen. All of my children are spread out quite a bit in age. My first daughter is now 18 and in college, and initially she was going to be our one and only child, but as you know life changes things. Unexpectedly we learned ten years in that we were having another baby, who is now 8. Although unplanned she was well received and I couldn’t think of my life any other way. I got divorced about 4 years ago and remarried a man who had never been married and had no children, which brought this topic to the forefront. Needless to say it was decided we would try one more time, and were blessed with a baby boy. Now if you are a parent, I don’t need to tell you how much can change when you have babies a decade or so apart. I was astonished by all of the products out there that made life much more convenient than they did almost 20 years ago. Although, this also caused me to learn how hard it can be to find a product that you need on a regular basis. My son had some stomach issues, which resulted in his need for a sensitive formula. He went through a lot of formula and every time I needed more, I could never find it. I would literally travel or call at least ten stores in my area to look for the formula I needed, just to find them out of stock. If I did find it, I would purchase at least 6 or more at a time, knowing that the product was hard to find. This can be rather expensive since they cost almost $30.00 a can, but I didn’t have much choice. It made me wonder why there was such an issue maintaining a proper inventory on this item. Was it hard to get from the manufacturer? Did they feel they didn’t sell it frequently enough to stock a large quantity? Or did they have an inventory control problem, which prevented them from having an accurate count? I am not quite sure, but at $30 a can, I can presume that theft may be an issue. If theft is an issue, which knowing the industry, I can safely say it probably accounts for some of it, I would recommend they use a Checkpoint label to stop shoplifting in their store.
Checkpoint labels offer protection for a wide variety of products. They provide a convenient and inexpensive means to protect all your products and stop shoplifting. The enhanced performance labels are equipped with EAS technology, and are designed to be even more detectable, in comparison to other tags on the market. They have a strong adhesive that prevents removal in the store and they have less EAS failures than other brands. The Checkpoint labels are very convenient and can be easily placed on the products, with an applicator, for in store application. These tags can also be printed on site, to allow for individualization, which can incorporate the pricing, logo and other information into one easy to use tag. These tags can be safely placed on any item, to include food.
I am not sure if my troubles finding in stock formula was related to theft or if it was simply an inventory control problem, but I do know that Checkpoint labels would be a great way to stop shoplifting of expensive products like these, and many others. If you are having inventory control problems, associated with theft, I recommend these labels. They are a convenient and cost-efficient way to protect all your items, reduce shrinkage and increase profit.
