Loss Prevention, like most challenges in running your store, is a constant battle. In other words, the fun never ends. Keep this in mind when choosing an EAS system for your store. The two major brands in EAS are Sensormatic for AM and Checkpoint for RF. Checkpoint and Sensormatic both invest in research and development (R & D) to help fight things like shoplifting bags, "front carry" (a way to defeat many EAS systems) and other methods that shoplifters are using to get around EAS. The majority of the off-brand systems do not make these investments, so they are more easily defeated. Another problem with these off-brand systems is they tend to alarm when they should not be alarming, and this can be insulting to good paying customers and frustrating for your employees.

Investing in checkpoint tags for loss prevention is a wise thing for any company. Security tags help ensure that customers are paying for your products, not just walking out the door with them. Once you install surveillance antennas and place the security tags on all the merchandise you need to take  time to educate and train your staff on how they should deal with an attemped theft situation.
