How to protect high priced items from shoplifters
Running a physical store can be a great way to create a business, but there are some important things that you need to consider and keeping your products secure is one of them. Here are some ways in which you can protect those items that you class as high price or high ticket.
Security Seal – these can be purchased from places such as Acme Seals and can be used on a variety of products such as clothing, electronics and alcohol. These seals are designed to prevent potential thieves from stealing items. In some cases, the seals prevent the items from being opened, release ink that damages the product or activate an alarm when the item is taken from the store.
Security staff – in large scale stores the use of security staff is popular as it can help to deter would-be thieves from entering the store. These individuals can be either employed directly by the store or they can be subcontracted by an agency.
CCTV – as well as using security staff some stores like to have CCTV in place to help the work of security individuals as well as providing them with evidence if any individuals try to steal items from the store. This can help in prosecuting individuals if they are caught shoplifting.
There are many other methods of keeping items in your shop secure but the three mentioned above are the most common.
