Customer Counting Systems Can Provide Information To Improve Staffing And Generate Additional Sales
     One of the things I love about retail is the ability to help someone who knows they need something, but can only describe what they want to do, not what it is they need. OR the person who comes in with something very specific that we don’t have, but I can help them find a better alternative we DO have (especially if I can save them money in the process!). As a sales specialist, driving sales is a measure of success as well as customer satisfaction.  Similarly, you can judge the success of your store by the number of people you are attracting and how many transactions that take place at the registers.  But do transactions alone tell the whole story of how successful a store is? They don’t tell you the number of potentially missed sales you missed because you did not know store browsers were not converted to purchasers. Wouldn’t it be great to turn those “window shoppers” into buyers? By using a customer counting system, it is possible to find out how many people are actually in the store during the day. Subtracting the number of transactions that took place from the foot traffic a door counting sensor reports and you can get a good feel for how many more transactions might have been generated that day.
     Customer counting systems today provide retailers with information from a door counting sensor that reports how many people have entered and exited a building during the day and at what times. A customer counting device can also be used to track electronic article surveillance alarms (EAS) if your store is using an EAS system with antennas and EAS tags to prevent theft. Store management can review daily reports to see how many alarm activations there were during the day and at what times. In other words, customer counting systems don’t just count people they provide useful data that can help manage the resources of a store. One other thing I should mention, as someone with nearly 20 years of Retail Loss Prevention experience, I strongly suggest ALL stores have an EAS system installed in order to significantly reduce merchandise shortage. That being said, if a store does not have an EAS system for whatever reason, customer counting systems such as Checkpoint’s Visiplus people counters can be free standing without the EAS system in place.
     I know there may be some skeptics who think that all a door counting sensor is going to do is give more information to sift through daily. But I would like to show that the data from a customer counting system can benefit the store if used properly. I was working on the salesfloor a few weeks ago and had a couple come in and look around the furniture department. They came in looking for a desk our company only sold online but they did not know that. I was able to explain this and offered an alternative desk that was on sale and would meet their needs. After spending time with the couple, listening to their needs and finding out they would be adding another desk later, I found another desk that would be on sale the next day (when our new ad started). I also showed them some chairs and they decided they could use one with the new home office arrangement. The total purchase for this couple was around $1,100.
       Had I not greeted and spent time with them, this couple would have left the store empty handed, we did not have the desk on hand they thought they wanted to look at. Our store uses a customer counting device and we would do track customer transactions versus door counts. This would have been a case of two more people visiting our store and one less transaction. If a store manager only looks at daily transactions, there is no gauge to determine if opportunities are being missed. Customer counting systems can give breakdowns of foot traffic by time of day and if this information is used correctly, a manager can plan extra staffing based on prior history and reduced staffing for hours when there are fewer people visiting. Those extra employees may make the difference between a customer walking in and out and a customer discovering something in the store they didn’t know they needed or wanted.  Generate more sales by staffing based on customer counting device data.

Checkpoint Labels Provide A Cost-Efficient Means To Improve Inventory Control, Reduce Shrinkage, And Improve Customer Satisfaction.
I was in a local store yesterday getting some home improvement items and it seemed very hectic in the store.  There weren’t a lot of customers, but it seemed like there were a lot of associates running around.  I brought my items up to the counter and the lady seemed distracted.  She greeted me and apologized saying they were doing inventory and things were a little crazy in the store.  Being in the industry, I understand their struggles, as I have dealt with the same issues.  I understand what it is like to see an item on the inventory and not be able to find it.  I have experienced the situation where I am running around the store to various different departments looking for the item, sometimes never finding it.  It is very frustrating not being able to locate an item that you have no record of selling.  I remember a particular store I worked for, at the beginning of my career, which had a significant shrinkage rate.  It always left me feeling dissatisfied with our security and our organizational skills.  Granted we did locate some items in the wrong place or would find a sale we had missed, but in totality I knew we had a problem, and we needed to do something about it.  I wasn’t quite sure how to rectify the situation, but I did know that our lack of security played a huge factor in our inventory control issues.  The question was how do we stop shoplifting and reduce shrinkage?  I did some research and discovered Checkpoint labels might be a solution to some of my theft issues.  
Checkpoint labels provide a cost-efficient means to protect your merchandise and stop shoplifting.  They come in various shapes and sizes and can affix to almost any item.  Once affixed, they have a strong adhesive, which prevents their removal.  These labels are equipped with EAS technology to alert store associates when a theft or breach occurs.  The labels are easily deactivated at the time of sale and cannot be re-activated, which prevents false alarms, and improves customer satisfaction.  Checkpoint labels can be conveniently printed in store to allow for quick and accurate protection.  The printer/applicator can be used to print pricing, barcodes and branding information, creating a multi-faceted product that eliminates the need for multiple labels.  This saves on cost and time, which saves your company money.  These labels will reduce shrinkage and improve your inventory control issues. 
I think it is important to share industry information because I hate to see small businesses struggle to both satisfy their customers, and ensure they are protecting their assets; thus improving their profit margins.  Maybe some of these larger companies can afford some degree of loss and customer dissatisfaction, because the margin is insignificant compared to their profit margin.  Although that may not be the case for those small businesses that are struggling to make a profit on a daily basis.  Overhead and security cost money, but so do inefficiencies that promote shrinkage and negatively impact your inventory control.  Not having the products available can cause customers to seek out other retail options, which is why it is important to protect yourself.  Checkpoint labels can provide that added security you need to stop shoplifting and improve customer satisfaction and sales.

FLY AWAY WITH SPIDER WRAPS

FLY AWAY WITH SPIDER WRAPS
To be honest, I’m sitting in an aisle seat, 32,000 feet above the ground somewhere between LaGuardia and St. Louis. I’m heading home after spending a week in New York City. It’s been a great week without work. I’ve not checked my work email, thought about my stores, or even pondered how many calls I’ll have to return once I get back into the office on Monday. Yet, here am I, working on my “other job”, where I get to help you all work through the ever-growing challenge on how to prevent shoplifting. As I’m blasting through the air at well over 500 miles an hour, I’m thinking maybe we should talk about Alpha spider wraps today. It has nothing to do with the spider I just saw on the seat back in front of me… 
It’s always a challenge to find that perfect balance of protection an aesthetics. It’s one of my biggest daily challenges when interacting with store managers. They all want “clean” displays and to afford their customers the ability to interact with the products they are selling. They also want to prevent shoplifting. Often, those two ideals clash with one another and one side has to give a little to the other in order to strike a fair balance. 
We recently went into the quad-copter business. I don’t like to call them “drones”. A drone is a military weapon. A quad-copter is an RC toy with four rotors and generally a camera. If you’ve been paying attention, these really appeal to the masses. Technology has enabled them to be smaller, cheaper, reliable and easier than ever to control. This line was a huge success during the holiday and it’s proving to be an even better, all year category. One problem I didn’t anticipate having was the amount of loss we’d experience from shoplifting. 
So how do you prevent shoplifting of a quad-copter? Most come packaged in some very awkwardly shaped boxes. From the very small, to the very large, a consistent packaging is not what these are known for. So naturally, we had a need for a versatile tagging method that provided a steady ROI. Our first choice was the Alpha spider wrap. These worked great in several areas. First, we could always find a wrap that fit the packaging. Second, it allowed us to openly display the product so the customer could read the box, learn the specs and ultimately buy the product with minimal assistance from an employee. Third was the level of protection it gave. Most shoplifters will be discouraged by just the look of an Alpha spider wrap. They know it means business. 
Perhaps you have some items in your store right now that may be a good fit for an Alpha spider wrap? You know, that awkwardly shaped item that you tend to put behind the glass so it doesn’t get stolen. That item that would probably sell much better if it were openly displayed and in the hands of your customers. You know what I’m talking about. 
Don’t’ let criminals dictate your store. Get those items out in the hands of your paying customers and out of the hands of the thieves!

Don’t Be Like Those Other Guys; Choosing The Right Clothing Security Tags Will Improve Sales And Reduce Theft

Don’t Be Like Those Other Guys; Choosing The Right Clothing Security Tags Will Improve Sales And Reduce Theft.
I have a love hate relationship with summer, which may sound odd, but it is true.  I love the outdoors; and summer provides me the opportunity to do the things I love to do like camping, fishing, kayaking, hiking, swimming, playing softball etc.  I do not like cold weather, which also plays a big factor in the appeal of summer, but there is one particular thing I hate about summer.  As an almost 40 year old female I am not a fan of swimsuit season.  I am not sure about the rest of you, but it is a little intimidating.  I wouldn’t say I hate the way I look in a swimsuit but I definitely have my reluctance to being half naked in front of the entire world.  For me it isn’t necessarily an age thing because I have always been this way even when I was 20 and in pretty good shape.  I think women tend to be a little insecure, which is why it takes me forever to find the right swimming suit.  It is that season again and I am due for a new one, but I am not the size or shape that allows me to go out and buy an off the rack swimsuit, with the standard S-XL sizing.  I have to shop at the larger department stores that offer swimsuits with actual bra sizes and the ability to purchase the pieces separately.  This probably means nothing to you men out there, but for us women it makes a huge difference when finding the right fit.  My daughter and I were discussing this topic recently and she mentioned how hard it was to find stores that even sold swimsuits with these sizing options, so when you do find a good one you can’t pass it up.  This I have found also means higher prices and fewer options.  Higher prices and reduced availability also means a higher level of security, which often results in large bulky security devices that can be cumbersome to the customer.  While shopping recently I noticed that some of the stores were using much smaller clothing security tags than I had seen in the past.  
Clothing security is a standard practice in today’s retail industry and can’t be avoided, but finding the right product can be easier than you think.  Checkpoint tags provide a wide range of options when it comes to clothing security.  They provide clothing security tags that are much smaller and won’t damage the fabric, providing a safe and friendly security option for you and your customers.  Checkpoint tags are equipped with EAS technology, which provides an audible alarm for attempted breaches or theft of merchandise from your store.  These clothing security tags are made of durable material that makes tampering extremely difficult, and their improved technology increases detection, compared to other products on the market.  These tags provide a cost-efficient means to protect your property without inconveniencing your customer.  
Checkpoint tags are versatile, and their various options provide a means to secure a wide range of products.  Unfortunately in this day and age, clothing security is a necessity that can’t be avoided.  The clothing industry loses billions of dollars a year to theft, and protecting yourself is critical, but don’t do it at the expense of your honest hard working customers.  Clothing security tags have come a long way since their inception and there are more viable options available.  Don’t rely on antiquated devices that are bulky and uncomfortable to your customers and don’t provide the best protection for your business.  Having the right products will improve sales, reduce theft and increase profit.

CRAWL TO HIGHER PROFITS WITH A BUG TAG

CRAWL TO HIGHER PROFITS WITH A BUG TAG
The LP field is constantly changing, and every week, it seems like there is a new innovative product that hits the market. So how do you, the retailer navigate this ever-growing field of stuff? How do you know what you really need, versus what someone is just trying to sell you? Most importantly, how do you know if you’re going to get a return on your investment on a certain EAS device and if that device will actually help you to stop shoplifting? Well, lucky for you, that’s why I’m here. I have a background in LP management and I know what works and what doesn’t. 
One of the challenges I find often while at work is the protection of sell-through product. Often, our buyers will score an awesome close-out deal with a supplier and we ship out PDQ’s of product X to the stores. These are generally one time buys of popular items that we sell through and then they are gone. Frequently, we see these taking the form of personal electronic devices that are high margin, high priced and high shrink. So what’s a manager to do to stop them from walking out? We like to use the Bug Tag, which is a part of our Checkpoint System. 
Never heard of the Bug Tag before? Neither have a lot of my industry peers, but these are perfect for those sell-through type items. Think about it for a second. Say you get a PDQ of fitness tracker watches all with retails over $199. You have to have them out for your customer to touch, you want to get out of stock quickly, so locking them up isn’t ideal and you definitely want to stop shoplifting. The Bug Tag is perfect for these situations. 
Since the module is reusable, we keep a few dozen on hand at all times. We simply stick the tag onto the packaging forget about it. Our cashiers remove them at the point of purchase and the process repeats. The only thing we have to do is replace the disposable tray. The return on investment is significant and we rarely see shrink on these product types. 
We don’t see theft for a few reasons. One, like I said before, the look of the tag itself is a show-stopper for any would-be thief. Second, the 95-decibel alarm is loud enough to hear from any location within the store. I also think the 3-alarm feature keeps those fingers from sticking as well. Not only will it alert the EAS system at the door, and self-alarm if remove from the premise, it will sound that alarm if the tag is even tampered with. 
There aren’t many products out there that really do what they say, but if you’re serious about wanting to stop shoplifting, you’d be remise if you didn’t give the Bug Tag a chance to stop criminals from crawling away with your profits.
