Electronic Surveillance

Electronic article surveillance (EAS) is an efficient way to reduce shoplifting at your store. EAS tags or labels are attached to commonly stolen items. These tags are deactivated or removed at the point of sale. If the tags/labels are not removed antennas at the exit (or restroom) will sound alerting the staff and the shoplifter.

Employing an EAS system in your store will:

•Create an effective deterrent against theft of merchandise.
•Enable you to openly merchandise products.
•Allow your employees to concentrate on serving the customer and not on watching for shoplifting customers.
•Reduce stock losses at least 50%
•Allow your customers to interact directly with the product, something they cannot do online or locked under glass.
•Create a better, safer, atmosphere for your store.
•Discourage most attempts at pilfering; often thieves go elsewhere.
•Improve your bottom line.

There are many EAS systems on the market knowing what the best system for you is a daunting task. Should you purchase a low-end self-install system or go with a name brand? Should you purchase new or used? Like any other major purchase price alone should not determine your decision. False alarms and failure to deactivate (FTD), where the alarm sounds when an item was purchased, are two of the most frustrating aspects to any EAS system and the two reasons employing EAS may fail. When purchasing a system from a major vendor that can be serviced locally will reduce false alarms and FTD. American Retail Supply Loss Prevention only sells new Checkpoint EAS systems, the world leader in EAS.

Bonus Tip: Installing security signs in your store is a low-cost way to deter shoplifters and shady characters. Anti-theft signs should be fitted close to the entrance and near your fitting rooms. Thanks, -Mark Turner
