It happens every day. Shoplifters steal clothing from retail stores. How do you stop it? The solution is very simple. Achieve true clothing security by using a Checkpoint anti shoplifting system.
A tag is attached to the garment to be protected. This tag can only be removed by store personnel. The tag is then removed at the cash wrap and the customer proceeds on their way. You cannot achieve clothing security any easier than that.
Oh want more clothing security? Add an ink tag! Ink tags release a permanent dye if tampered with. The shoplifter really has to work on the item to get the ink tag to break and spread the ink so accidents are rare.
Still more? Drop a soft tag/label into a pocket! This gives you double coverage. This is anti shoplifting at it’s best.
Don’t let the shoplifters control your store. Take it back with anti shoplifting clothing security by Loss Prevention Systems and Checkpoint. 1.770.426.0547
It’s not hard to figure out if you keep some anti shoplifting basics in mind:
· Early in the morning, just after opening because what are you focused on? Opening the store, getting the cash into the drawer, dealing with problems from the day before and most important that first cup of coffee.
· On busy days because shoplifters like to blend into a crowd. They do not want to stand out. They will dress and act like your average customer.
· When a sales floor is unattended. What else can you say to this except “duh” do not leave the sales floor unattended. Any anti shoplifting methods stop with out employees.
· At closing time. Like at opening we are focused on wrapping up the day, counting the drawers, straightening up for tomorrow, securing the store and of course going home.
In other words shoplifters steal anytime WE give them the opportunity. Any anti shoplifting program will not work without a little planning and common sense.
Many companies do not understand the true impact of inventory shrinkage or loss. For example: If your company’s inventory shrinkage this year is $100,000, that’s $274 in shrinkage every day.
Is that the total impact on the bottom line?
Consider this: For your organization to simply recover or break even on a $100,000 inventory shrinkage or loss, you would have to sell an additional $13,700 every day! ($274 divided by .02% profit margin) This is on top of your normal sales.
Think about this…how many more items would you have to order, receive, count, mark, prepare paperwork for, stock, and finally sell just to produce these extra sales to break even?
Add to this the fact that inventory shrinkage really cannot be recovered. You then begin to understand why one third of US business failures are blamed on corporate theft.
The obvious solution is to prevent the theft, errors and abuse that cause inventory shrinkage and loss in the first place.
