Checkpoint Labels Provide An Easy And Cost-Efficient Means To Protect Your Sales Inventory
In the retail business we tend to have clearances and sales that include excess items, clothing and other specialty items that need to be removed from inventory.  My mother-in-law always hits the clearance sales, looking for all types of items, gifts, clothes and children’s toys that need to go.  It is a great time for shoppers to pick up a great deal.  This may also include high valued items that are marked down in an attempt to reduce inventory.  While shopping this year my mother-in-law said that they had moved all the sales items to the front of the store and were making room for a whole row of new items.  You would think that these types of sales items would be low risk for theft, but unfortunately that is not the case.  In my experience I have seen higher than normal rates of theft of these types of items.  I believe this has to do with the fact that these items are low priority for the store.  We realize that these items are significantly reduced in price, and what doesn’t get sold, tends to get written off as an inventory loss.  Therefore, we don’t typically increase security on these types of items.  They also tend to put these products in areas that are close to exits, for high visibility and access.  These areas typically have reduced associate interaction and monitoring.  These areas are a low priority for associates, as they are typically already restocking new products, and focusing on areas that contain higher priced items.  I have found that the easiest and cheapest way to protect these types of items and stop shoplifting is to use Checkpoint labels.  
Checkpoint labels provide the added security you need to protect your retail property, at a reasonable price, without a great deal of added time or effort.  These labels come in various shapes and sizes to meet all your product needs.  They are equipped with EAS technology, which provide a reliable means to notify associates when a theft occurs.  Electronic article surveillance provides an audible alarm when someone attempts to remove an item from the store.  Checkpoint labels can be printed in store, to allow for a simple way to price and individualize your labels, quickly and efficiently.  These labels are designed for accuracy and efficiency, while allowing you the ability to customize your labels with individualized logos or store barcodes, for a multi-faceted product.  These labels can be used on any product to include food items.  These labels have a high grade adhesive, which prevents removal once applied to the product.  These labels provide a cost-efficient means to stop shoplifting, with little time or effort.  
I tend to use Checkpoint Labels for the majority of my retail products, due to the simplicity and quality of the product.  It is a convenient product that allows me the ability to customize them to meet my individual sales needs.  They come in a large roll, which allows me the ability to simply print the labels in store.  I can include my pricing, store barcode and logo, while securing my products with EAS technology that is compatible with my existing security program.  They are easily deactivated at the time of sale, which increases customer satisfaction while protecting my products from theft.  These are a great means to stop shoplifting in your stores, regardless of the items you are trying to protect.  Whether you are decreasing inventory, reducing holiday items, or protecting high line items, the labels can provide you the security you need.

Checkpoint Labels Provide An Innovative Way To Protect All Your Products
Do you ever feel like you are struggling to stay relevant in the loss prevention community?  Do you struggle to prevent shoplifting and increase profit?  As a member of the Loss Prevention Community, I have done my fair share of research on the topic and the products available to mitigate my risk.  I have come to realize that our economy has a direct correlation with our shoplifting rates.  According to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention, there are approximately 27 million shoplifters in our Nation and more than ten million shoplifters have been caught in the last 5 years.  More than likely these statistics are based on arrest records, and considering shoplifters acknowledge that they are only caught 1 out 48 times and only prosecuted 50% of the time, that number is probably not an accurate representation of the true problem facing our Nation.  As our economy suffers, it increases the need for retail theft prevention, in order to detect this type of activity.  Desperate people are more likely to steal out of necessity and will take anything that is essential to improving their personal situation.  This results in the theft of items you wouldn’t normally see as high risk such as:  medicine, food, or personal hygiene items.  That is why it is so important for those of us in loss prevention to adapt to market changes and trends so we can continue to expand our loss prevention programs, through the use of innovative products.  Checkpoint Labels can provide the added security you need for a reasonable price.
If you want to enhance your retail theft prevention program Checkpoint labels are a convenient way to protect all of your products.  Checkpoint Systems have created Enhanced Performance Labels that serve multiple purposes and can provide coverage for any item regardless of type or size.  Checkpoint labels have EAS integration and are designed to improve your detection capability.  They offer round labels for your medicine, vitamins, cosmetics and hygiene products; or small square or rectangular labels as small as a postage stamp, to cover any size item.  In our retail store we use these labels on everything.  We started using these on our vitamins and high end medicine after we had a large influx of theft of these products.  Checkpoint Systems also produce a clear label that can be affixed directly over the product’s barcode.  The clear labels can be easily affixed without obscuring the product while maintaining a level of discretion for better detection capability.  We use the clear labels on our cosmetics because they are difficult to detect by the average shoplifter and provide the added security we need.  The Enhanced Performance labels are printer ready so you can customize them with your specific business logo or pricing barcode.  This allows for a multifaceted label that can serve all your needs in one product.  We specifically like the printing capability because it saves us money to print them ourselves and allows us to customize them to meet our business needs.  So do yourself a favor do some research of your own so you can better prepare yourself and your business for the escalating theft plaguing our society.  
Checkpoint Systems provide various options when it comes to retail theft prevention, all of which can help reduce shrinkage, and increase profit.  I know in our store, Checkpoint labels are an integral part of our loss prevention program.  I have seen the results first hand.  Our fluctuating economy will continue to impact our industry and how we do business, which is why our knowledge of how to mitigate our risk is equally important.  Technology is ever-changing, and requires continuous education on the resources available, so we can protect our businesses and improve customer satisfaction.

Checkpoint Labels Provide A Multi-Faceted Means to Stop Shoplifting and Avoid Price Swapping
When it comes to retail shoplifting, I have had my share of problems, but I have also learned a lot throughout the years.  I have learned new ways to protect my store and my products from not only shoplifting in general, but from price switching and clearance tagging.  I am not sure if this has been a problem for you in your store, but I know it was a huge problem for me.  Of course we weren’t locating these issues on the front end, but instead we were finding them after the sale, when we were netting our losses.  We had a large problem, with people switching prices or adding clearance stickers to expensive items, which included returns for full price credits on the same items.  It was a problem that was significantly affecting our bottom line and we knew we had to do something about it.  We just weren’t sure how we could stop shoplifting of this type, without requiring management approval for every sale item.  This as you know would be time consuming and an irritation to our loyal customers.  I had discussed these issues with some of my counterparts to see what they were doing to prevent this type of activity in their stores.  Some of them had changed their brand of labels, so they would adhere better, but that still wasn’t fool proof.  I wanted a way to ensure that our labels were being utilized to the best of our ability without added expense.  That was when I discovered Checkpoint Labels.
Checkpoint Labels are the perfect way to prevent price swapping.  These labels can be easily printed in store, so you can print the label with your pricing and your store logo on site at a low cost.  These labels once applied, cannot be removed without damaging the label.  They are also equipped with EAS technology to stop shoplifting.  They are a multi-faceted tool to protect all your products.  They come in various sizes and shapes to meet all of your needs, and a new label can easily be re-applied in the event of a sale.  This eliminates the need for a secondary sales tag, which can be swapped to other non-sale items.  Having the ability to quickly adjust pricing in store, is an ideal way to protect your products while saving time and money.  It also makes for a good shopping experience for your customers, by reducing time and hassle during the checkout process.  Checkpoint Labels also offer a clear label that can be placed over the existing barcode, which adds EAS technology and prevents price swapping all in one label.  
Preventing shoplifting is an ongoing battle, regardless of the method in which it is occurring.  I know I have struggled with managing this problem from all angles, but I do know that Checkpoint Labels have substantially reduced my loss.  They work on so many levels to protect my property, which makes for a cost-effective means to stop shoplifting.  I have purchased the label makers, which really helps me manage my pricing more effectively in store.  They come in large rolls that allow me to manage my products and my security at a low cost, with very little effort.  I love how handy they are, and unlike other cheap labels, I know they won’t peel off, and they work more effectively in alerting my staff when a breach occurs.  Now anytime a fellow retailer comes to me about their personal store issues, I can pass on the knowledge I have learned, and hopefully help them in their loss prevention efforts.  Helping one another is key in this field.

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.
