What are High-Theft Products and How Can I Secure Them?

Not every item in a store has the same chance of being stolen. For example, electronics, small gadgets, expensive makeup, and jewelry are stolen more often. This is because they are valuable and easy to conceal. Using only security cameras may not be enough to stop thieves if your store sells these products. That is why you need to protect them in several ways. Below you’ll find some smart tips to help you secure high-theft products.

1. Limit How Many Items Are on Display

First, don’t put all your valuable items out for customers to see. Show just one or two of the same products, like headphones or gadgets and keep the rest locked up and bring them out only when needed.

By doing this, it becomes much harder for someone to grab items and run away. It also helps your staff keep better track of your stock.

2. Use Box Wraps for Boxed Electronics and Expensive Items

Apply Box Wraps on boxed items like electronics or expensive tools. These are special cables that wrap around the box. If someone tries to cut or remove the wrap, a loud alarm sounds right away.

Besides protecting the products, Box Wraps also lets customers pick up and look at the items safely. A Box Wrap like the Stingray can even secure an item to the display.

3. Install Tethered Displays for Hands-On Electronics

Some customers want to try products like tools, tablets, or cameras. To do this safely, install tethered display mounts. These use cords or cables to keep products attached to counters.

If someone tries to steal an item, the cable pulls back or sounds an alarm. As a result, customers can try the products while your store stays safe.

4. Use Tamper-Proof or Alarming Security Tags

Security tags add extra protection. Use different tags for different products:

Box Wraps work well on boxed electronics.

Adhesive labels fit makeup kits or skincare sets.

Alarming tags make sound an alarm if removed or taken out of the store by a thief. These tags help your staff notice theft quickly. Moreover, they warn thieves that you are watching closely.

5. Use Keeper Boxes for Jewelry and Cosmetics

High-theft products like electronics, jewelry, or luxury makeup can be placed in keeper boxes. These clear, locked cases show the product but stop people from opening or concealing the item.

Keeper boxes work well because:

• They come in many sizes.
• They trigger alarms or other security systems.
• They keep the item secure all the way to checkout.

Secure More, Lose Less

Protecting valuable items doesn’t mean hiding them all away. Instead, use secure displays, limit who can reach the products, and add layers of security like wraps, tags, and locked cases. By doing this, you lower theft without upsetting customers.

Finally, using the right tools and training your staff will help you lose less and keep shoppers happy.
