An inventory of goods (10) is protected from theft by affixing to at least some of the items of the inventory an electronic article surveillance marker (12). An indicia (14, 14-1--14-14) which indicates the presence of the marker is also applied to the items of the inventory. In some cases, the indicia (1413) may be applied to goods to deter theft thereof even though no EAS marker is present on the goods. The indicia may include a code (115) that indicates to store personnel that no EAS marker is in fact present. When a marker is present, the indicia may provide guidance (14-6--14-10, 20, 20-1) as to how to activate or deactivate the marker. Information (14-8--14-10) as to what kind of marker is affixed may also be included in the indicia.
