Tips For Mobile Phone Retailers: How To Secure Your Products And Protect Your Inventory

By: J. Clark Home | Communications | Mobile


As a mobile phone retailer, your business involves promoting, marketing and selling the latest and greatest products released by telecommunication equipment manufacturers. These products aren't cheap and many of your consumers know it. They are also quite handy and useful, which makes them a prime target for thieves and shoplifters. Learn the ways you can secure your products, boost your sales and improve your bottomline. Here's how:

Use electronic security systems
There are many different types of electronic anti-theft systems that can help secure handy gadgets such as mobile phones. These systems are especially designed for retail use, allowing consumers to experience the product without exposing it to unnecessary risks such as theft or damage.

A good example of an electronic security system that mobile phone retailers can use is the EAS or Electronic Article Surveillance. It is a type of security system that's meant to secure small or portable electronic products. It uses a radio transmitter to keep shop items secure within the parameters of the store.

If any customer attempts to bring the mobile phone outside the store, the electronic device attached to the phone will trigger an alarm. The device can only be deactivated upon payment, when the cashier or salesperson removes the security tag using especially designed equipment.

An EAS system can also come with a light alarm, signaling the salesperson that a product was tampered with.

Install a pull box
Another product that retailers can use to secure their mobile phones is the Pull Box Merchandise Recoiler. This is a simple system that uses a thin cable to secure the phone to a base or housing. The phone is attached to the retractable table and kept in place by a magnet attached to the base. The magnet keeps the phone upright for better display so consumers can come in and examine it. If they want to see how the mobile phone works, they simply lift the phone from the base and try its features. Once they're done, they can simply put the phone back onto the base. The cable will simply retract into the housing so it's hidden from view.

Because the phone is secured by a cable, it's not going anywhere and the customer can't bring it away from the display station. If the customer attempts to forcibly yank the mobile phone away, the action will trigger an alarm.

An advantage to the pull box system is that it can be used for multiple open display of mobile phones, maximizing space and ensuring that customers have a good choice from among available products.
