Don’t Let Food Theft Get You Down In The Dumps, Protect Yourself With Checkpoint Labels
A couple of weeks ago we were out with some friends for a birthday party.  We were at a local bowling alley and sat down to get some food.  The waitress had yet to grab the last customer’s check, which had cash in it.  We started to discuss how easily someone could take that money without anyone noticing.  Not that we would ever do that, but this resulted in a subsequent discussion about theft in general.  We all agreed on the prevalence of shoplifting and theft in general.  Most of my friends are in law enforcement and we tend to all run in similar circles, so we all have various experience on the subject.  One of the guys there, who isn’t in law enforcement, said that his brother is a habitual shoplifter.  He said that his brother has, on multiple occasions, walked into a grocery store, filled a cart completely full with food, and just walked out the door with it.  Of course he didn’t condone the activity and was not present when it happened, but apparently his brother is pretty proud of the behavior, gloating about it often.  His brother stated that he has only been stopped by a store employee once because the items were not bagged.  His brother said he just shrugged it off and left the cart and walked away.  Nobody tried to stop him, nor was he ever prosecuted for the attempted theft.  I have actually been called to these types of calls, when I worked in law enforcement, and I am sure they happen rather frequently.  As a business owner it is important to protect your property and take appropriate action to stop shoplifting.  The best way to do that is by using Checkpoint labels on your merchandise.  
Checkpoint labels are an effective way of securing your property and alerting associates of potential theft.  These labels are equipped with Electronic Article Surveillance technology, which sound an audible alarm, when someone attempts to remove the product from the store.  Food production, shipping and weather conditions continue to affect grocery costs in the United States.  Food has become an inherent part of the holiday season and higher food prices result in increased theft.  EAS labels can be used on any product, to include food.  Checkpoint labels, for food items, are specifically designed so there is no risk of contamination if direct contact is made.  They are also microwave safe so they won’t damage your customer’s property and won’t degrade causing issues with the food integrity.  Not all labels meet those stringent food safety standards.  These EAS labels are a high quality product at a reasonable price, which ensures they activate and deactivate effectively, to minimize errors and loss.  Using these labels on all of your high line food products, such as prime cuts of meat, coffee, alcohol and other items can help reduce your loss and increase profits.  
Checkpoint labels can provide the added security you need to protect your valuable commodities.  I think about my friend’s brother, and how easy it was for him to just walk out the door with hundreds of dollars in food, without any detection.  Obviously those stores were not equipped with EAS labels or a retail anti-theft system in general.  It is unfortunate that retailers and grocers think they are immune to theft, when in fact they are extremely vulnerable.  We can’t rely solely on our associates to recognize and intervene in these types of incidents.  We as an industry must look towards a multi-faceted approach to loss prevention, and EAS labels can help you reduce overhead and reduce theft.

When You Buy Cheap Security Products, You Get What You Pay For! Don’t Waste Your Money Choose Checkpoint Labels For All Your Retail and Security Needs.

As a retail business owner, I know how hard it is to find adequate security resources to stop shoplifting and to protect your merchandise. Throughout my career I have tried various options, all of which vary considerably when it comes to price, quality and effectiveness. Poor quality security products can be very frustrating to small business owners, especially when the cost of security is often a financial burden to start with. That is why it is important for you to get quality products the first time, so you can avoid the added cost and headache associated with buying inadequate products.  I don’t know how many times I have purchased a product hoping that it would meet my security needs; just to determine that the poor quality makes it more trouble than it is worth. I believe that knowledge is power and in this industry it is imperative that we try and share our experiences and help each other avoid making the same mistakes. That is why I purchase Checkpoint labels, because they provide a multi-faceted retail & security function. Their quality is unparalleled and I am always pleasantly surprised by the products’ effectiveness. 

 

Checkpoint labels provide a convenient and cost-efficient way to stop shoplifting and protect all of your products. There are various types of labels, which come in different shapes and sizes, to meet all of your product needs. These labels can be equipped with EAS technology to provide accurate security notification. They are equipped with state of the art technology, which provides improved frequency programming capabilities to ensure proper EAS activation and deactivation, which ultimately improves customer satisfaction. You can also purchase applicators and printers specific to these types of labels, which makes it very convenient to create your own custom labels, and affix them quickly and efficiently. The printers allow you to add pricing, barcodes or branding information in order to customize them to meet your retail needs. The applicators provide a quick and efficient means to apply the labels to bulk product at the store level, which saves time and money. These labels are made with a high quality adhesive to ensure the labels stay affixed once they are applied to the product. Using inferior labels will result in higher costs and product loss; trust me I know from experience. Using Checkpoint labels has allowed my business to combine both the pricing and EAS security into one tagging system. Using one label has saved me a considerable amount of money and improved product security. 

 

As a retail owner or manager it is important to choose quality protection to stop shoplifting. This will help you to avoid products that do not function properly or fail to meet your security needs. I have had my fair share of labels that have fallen off or have been removed in the store, thus rendering them ineffective. In many instances the cheap labels would include many labels that didn’t even activate, sometimes up to half of the roll, which only adds to the overhead cost of security. It is a horrible feeling to find your security labels in random places throughout the store, knowing your property is just walking out the door. Checkpoint labels are a quality product that will not only adhere properly, but will also allow for convenient application and printing options, to service all your needs. The labels are equipped with EAS technology that supersedes other brands that claim to be equally compatible. Don’t waste your money purchasing an inferior product when you can get the best quality products all in one place.

How to Prevent Theft While Improving Customer Satisfaction By Using Checkpoint Labels

How to Prevent Theft While Improving Customer Satisfaction By Using Checkpoint Labels
As a police officer for over 15 years I have dealt with my share of shoplifters, many of which will go to great lengths to steal merchandise.  Obviously dressing rooms are used quite frequently to hide and conceal merchandise, while others are blatant enough to just fill a cart and walk out with their new items.  I actually responded to a shoplifting, in which an older man opened a container of golf tees, removed about ten of them, and replaced the package leaving the store with just the amount he needed to play a round of golf that day. I have also investigated more savvy criminals, such as the delivery driver who would deliver large quantities of liquor and beer to the store.  Inventory numbers were not matching up, so I was called in to investigate a possible theft.  It was determined that he was delivering the product into a store room, removing several bottles of liquor from each of the boxes, and returning to his truck with his loot.  I managed to catch him in the act of removing property from the store and he was prosecuted and probably lost his job.  If someone really wants to take something from your store, they will do it, it is inevitable.  Unfortunately we don’t always have loss prevention or police readily available to nab these guys or catch them in the act, which is why it is imperative for retailers to take matters into their own hands to stop shoplifting and reduce their risk.  One way a retailer can do that is by using Checkpoint labels to help monitor their product without the use of extensive loss prevention support and manning.  This will reduce overhead, increase profit, and ensure you have the inventory available for your customers.  
Checkpoint labels provide several protections to both the manufacturer and the retailer, and offer several different methods, in order to track and protect your property.  They provide the ability to add labels to merchandise at the manufacturing level, so that they are affixed to the product prior to them arriving at your store.  This reduces the time needed to affix tags at the store level, and allows for better accountability from beginning to end.  Checkpoint labels come in various styles, colors and designs and allow for a smaller, less obvious tagging solution.  New innovations even allow the integration of EAS into brand labeling, which makes it very unobtrusive and undetectable to those who are familiar with tagging products.  A small detachable tag can be added to the merchandise, which allows for quick removal at the time of sale. The EAS system can stop shoplifting by notifying a retailer when merchandise is taken out of the store.  These soft labels can be easily and quickly deactivated, at the time of checkout, to allow for a smooth transaction and good customer service experience.         
I don’t know about you, but as a female, one of my biggest pet peeves are those large hard tags that are added to the clothes.  Sometimes associates don’t place those tags in a manner that allows for a good fit when trying on the item.  I have even had to ask them to remove it, just so I could get the pants on, because of where they attached it.  This can be very frustrating for the honest consumer who wants to buy your products.  This can result in a negative experience, which causes them to shop with your competitor.  These new Checkpoint labels provide alternative options for manufacturers and retailers alike.  Soft labels are small and provide a comfortable experience for your customer, while still providing the level of protection you need to stop shoplifting.  This provides a quality shopping experience, while protecting your assets at a reasonable cost.

Where’s the Beef? Why Electronic Article Surveillance is a Necessary Part of Any Business.

Where’s the Beef?  Why Electronic Article Surveillance is a Necessary Part of Any Business.
If you have been in the local grocery store lately or if you happen to own one, you are very well aware of the constant inflation of food prices.  I notice when prices are fluctuating, especially when I go to buy my favorite Honeycrisp apples, that are running anywhere from $2.00-$3.00 a pound, or a nice juicy steak that can cost me upwards of $15.00.  Unfortunately for us consumers, we can’t do anything to reduce these costs, aside from comparative shopping and looking for local discounts.  There are many reasons why our agricultural market continues to increase consumer prices by an average of 2-3% a year.  Many variables contribute to this rate, which can fluctuate depending on the weather and other economic variables.  The cost of oil is a huge factor in the cost of food products.  This is due the rising price of gas, which affects delivery costs and can limit resource availability.  Droughts in states such as California and Texas can affect crop and meat production and availability, which increase prices due to supply and demand issues.  This also presents a problem for grocery store owners because they continue to mark-up prices in order to provide these products and maintain profits.  As prices continue to rise we are also seeing higher theft rates in the food industry.  So what are these companies doing to help secure their products and stop shoplifting?  Many businesses are utilizing Electronic Article Surveillance solutions to label and detect theft.  
If you aren’t familiar with EAS Labels or how Electronic Article Surveillance works to reduce shrinkage, let me be the first to tell you what an important role they can play for you and your company.  As a loss prevention manager I have seen the positive impact this system has had on businesses of all types and sizes.  EAS labels come in various types and sizes to accommodate various products.  They provide a discreet means to apply EAS technology to a product, which can be detected by EAS antennas, to stop shoplifting.  Specially designed Checkpoint labels have been created specifically for the food industry.  They are FDA approved and do not impact the integrity of the product.  This allows them to be placed directly on fresh meat or frozen product packaging and is microwave safe.  They are small sticker tags that are equipped with EAS technology.  This technology is compatible with various checkout systems, which provide for a convenient way to deactivate the EAS signal at the time of checkout, with no added effort.  These EAS labels can be printed at the store level, making the process simple and efficient.  There are various other soft labels that are equipped with EAS that can be used for non-food products as well.  This can be a benefit to those grocery stores that sell other products such as cosmetics, medicine and vitamins, jewelry and other high priced items such as electronics.  These clear adhesive labels contain a small bar code that can be printed and affixed to products, without reducing the visibility of the product.  These EAS labels will substantially reduce shoplifting through deterrence and detection.  
If you want to stop shoplifting in your stores, reduce overhead cost, improve customer relations and increase profit, consider upgrading your security to include Electronic Article Surveillance.  Adding EAS labels to your high valued items is imperative to reduce theft.  As a consumer I will continue to look for lower prices and shop in stores that don’t over-stretch my budget.  Pricing, quality and convenience will continue to drive purchasing preferences, so do yourself a favor and protect your merchandise, so you can remain competitive in the market.

Checkpoint Security Systems Are Key To Your Inventory Control: Part 1
     Loss Prevention professionals like to throw around the term inventory control whenever we are discussing merchandise shrinkage and how to prevent it.  While the idea of inventory control is valid, there are many facets about it that must be considered when we are making reference to it.  Often, I believe we in Loss Prevention start to discuss tactics to control inventory and we can lose sight of the object of those tactics.  Here is what I mean; inventory control is the ability to accurately know what is coming into your building, knowing where it is in your building, knowing all that transpires with that merchandise (ie; markdowns, buy backs, vendor credits, etc.) and knowing how it leaves the building (via point of sale, vendor returns, chargebacks, etc.).  When you have all that knowledge you have control over inventory.  Implementing strategies to control inventory includes such things as Direct to Store Delivery processing, receipt of vendor credits, building alarm controls, key controls, stockroom access controls and so on.  Each process can make a significant impact on shortage come inventory time.  What I would like to discuss are several strategies a retailer can use to exert more control over their inventory.  The first strategy I want to strongly encourage is to invest in a Checkpoint Security System.  
     By purchasing a Checkpoint Security System you are taking measures to stop shoplifting and you can also deter internal theft and vendor theft as well.  Checkpoint systems include electronic article surveillance (EAS) antennas in a variety of models, Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint labels, deactivation pads and detachment tools for checkout stands. When used together, Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint Labels are placed on merchandise to stop shoplifting and when shoplifting is attempted, these devices cause the EAS antennas to sound their alarms and alert employees that merchandise is being removed from the store.  Deactivation pads basically “turn off” Checkpoint labels after an item is purchased so the EAS antennas don’t alarm.  Removal tools allow cashiers to take the hard Checkpoint tags off of items as they are purchased.
     Store goods can be protected with soft Checkpoint Labels that can be applied to a variety of different products, from meat soaker pads to blister packed merchandise and even cosmetics.  Hard Checkpoint Tags provide protective solutions for almost any other product carried, including but not limited to clothing, softlines accessories, peg hole protection, the list goes on.  My point is, once merchandise is protected it is hard for anyone to sneak products out of a store.  Not only do Checkpoint tags stop shoplifting but the employee who wants to steal has a difficult time getting past security measures.  I have apprehended dishonest employees who had stolen merchandise that was protected but had to go to significant lengths to try to bypass our Checkpoint Security System.  There are also vendors that will try to steal, taking merchandise out in purses, bags, between empty cartons and Checkpoint Systems detect them too making no distinctions between shoplifters, employees or vendors.
     Where does inventory control begin with tagging?  It begins as soon as merchandise is received.  Arrangements can be made through Checkpoint for vendor source tagging of some items and other merchandise a store will be responsible for tagging.  Tagging products immediately eliminates most opportunities for any type of theft and store owners/managers have exerted control over how that product will leave their building.
     Inventory Control is a simple concept, controlling where your merchandise is or where it is going.  Checkpoint Systems can help ensure your merchandise stays in the store until it goes out through a point of sale and drive up profits.
