Did you make all the right investments?

Do you know how to respond to an alarm going off in your store? If you are using a Checkpoint system for your clothing security, you probably already do. The next question is do your employees know?

 Chances are, they may not. There is an element of confrontation involved when you respond to an alarm. It is not the same type of confrontation that a salesperson selling clothes is using to approach a customer.

 You’re already invested in your clothing security system and you cheap tags and cheap labels but did you make sure to invest in the training for your employees to know how to use these valuable tools? You might find that one of the reasons your alarms are going off and not being attended to is that your employees are simply not comfortable with that confrontation. They are probably unsure of what to say, and unsure of how the customer is going to react.

 The best way to handle this is to take a copy of your company policies and run through the response script with your employees. Give them a chance to approach you acting as a customer. Give them some real life examples of what to expect. I’ll bet your alarm responses start to go up after this training.

Adding Insult to Injury…

Over the years of catching and apprehending shoplifters, I have found that there are other losses that might not be picked up on during the initial contact with the shoplifter.

 Let me give you a few examples. When I worked security for a home improvement chain, it was not uncommon for a shoplifter to pick up a bucket and stuff it full of 18V drill batteries and then walk out the door. The cashiers never thought a shoplifter would steal a bucket, so they just assumed it was theirs.

 When I worked clothing security, I saw the same thing with purses and book bags. These bags would be packed full of clothes that had not been paid for, yet the shoplifters would calmly walk out the door with not only the stolen clothes, but the stolen purse or bag.

 Not only were these people robbing us blind but were even stealing their means of carry-out. That is what I call adding insult to injury.

Cheap Labels are great for hats!

I had a shoplifter last week and all he really wanted was a new hat. He came into the department and started to try on every hat he could get his hands on. Gradually, he started to narrow down his selection to just a few hats.

What caught my eye wasn’t that he was making a huge mess out of the discarded hats, it was how he was looking at the hats he liked.

He wasn’t comparing the hats to his clothes, or his shoes. He wasn’t even looking at them in the mirror any more. Most guys, when they are looking to buy a ball cap, will play with the bill, and try to get just the right curve to it. This guy seemed to be stretching the bill out, as if looking for something on the inside. At this point it was obvious that he was looking for Anti-Theft Devices. We had cheap labels  and cheap tags on all of the hats but he eventually found one that had been missed.

I guess he finally decided that it was free of anti theft devices and put the one he liked on his head. He bee lined for the door, and headed out. We stopped him, and recovered the hat.

Clothing Security for Out Of Package Problems?

OOP, or Out of Package items can create unnecessary work and margin loss to items that often don’t have a huge mark up to begin with. Clothes that come in packages, like socks or dress shirts, are common out of package items.

 All too often I go into stores and see rounders full of shirts haphazardly thrown onto available hangers, marked at an additional discount. Socks are even worse. Someone has to take the time to hang tag them together, hope it stays, and then put out on the same hooks as the nicely packaged ones.

 Most of the time OOP occur because a customer wants to try an item on for fit, or feel the quality of the clothes. Less frequently, but still a problem are those that open a package to take out one of the components and steal it. The problem is that customers seldom want to pay full prices for an OOP item. The only way to prevent loss on these items is to use clothing security. Cheap Labels and Cheap Tags are great for these types of items.

 Maybe it is the tie that comes with the shirt, or a special accessory included on a specific packaged deal. Retail anti-theft devices can be attached to these items prior to a theft, or they can be added afterwards to these out of package items.

Always keep an eye out for the Silver Lining…

For every bad or unfortunate situation, they say there is a silver lining. It’s just a matter of having to look hard enough. In clothing security, it is almost a literal truth. The silver lining we look for is an aluminum foil lining in shoplifter’s clothes or bags.

 The purpose of using a foil lining is to try and prevent the anti theft devices on clothes from activating as a shoplifter passes through the EAS towers positioned at the exit doors. The shoplifter can sometimes slip out without the audible alarm drawing attention to them, if the EAS alarms do not register the anti-theft devices through the lining.

 Most states have some sort of laws against the use of shoplifting tools like bolster bags and foil linings. The problem is that in order to enforce this type of law, the perpetrators need to be caught. That generally happens only after they have been apprehended for shoplifting. It will trump up their offenses upon arrest, but understand that it is not a proactive piece of legislation. Therefore, the best way to avoid falling victim to these types of devices is to keep a vigilant watch on your shoppers particularly during the busy holiday seasons when they are carrying more than one shopping bag.

Thieves will take advantage of almost any opportunity…

I have a lot of hardworking, good people that are employed in my stores. There are quite a few of them that continually go above and beyond for whatever the stores or the managers need. Because of that sort of loyalty, it really makes me mad to see outside “customers” take advantage of them.

 We have a great lady who helps our clothing security stay up to date by doing spot checks on our retail anti-theft devices, and greets customers at the door as they come and go.

 Well, one day a man was walking with a cane and trying to push his shopping cart out the door. As soon as he walked in front of her, he tips the cart over and falls on the ground.

 Being the good person she is, our associate immediately went to help him up and make sure he was ok. Well, as she bent down to offer a helping hand, another male ran out the door setting the alarm off with his arms piled high with clothes.

 We decided to go back over the CCTV footage from the parking lot to see if we could get a license plate number and when we scrolled back to the point where the thief entered the store we were astonished to find he and the man with the cane walking into the store together. The two were in cahoots and took completely advantage of our associates’ helpful nature. Luckily we passed the surveillance off to our other stores and the pair was apprehended trying to pull off the same job as again.

My Best Friend was a Shoplifter…

Back when I was in grade school, I had a friend that I would go to the mall with. She always wanted to go check out some amazing sale. I never really saw the sales she did. I also never saw her buy anything, but the next day she would show up at school wearing something new.

 I was pretty young and naive at that point. I didn’t figure out until much later that my friend would be shoplifting clothes when we would go into the fitting rooms. Back in those days, there wasn’t much for retail clothing security and anti-theft devices were almost non-existent.

 Much has changed over the years, and it’s for the best. I hate to think about what would have happened if she had been caught while we were out. Would I have been drug into her mess too?

 If there had been anti-theft devices like EAS and cheap tags and cheap labels in use, than maybe she wouldn’t have been as tempted to steal.

Cheap labels and Cheap tags can keep up with the times!

Fashion trends in clothing can come and go in the blink of an eye. What was hot yesterday suddenly could not be any more taboo tomorrow, and something new will take its place. What you need are retail anti-theft devices for your clothing security that can react to the ever changing tides of the fashion world.

 Clothes need to be able to respond to transitions of sales, marketing, and of course the fashion trends. You need to have access to cheap labels and cheap tags to protect your inventory.

 Ever hear of a celebrity wearing an off the rack item to a gala event? You are probably aware that that item’s sales go through the roof. Often that piece of clothing is sold out before morning. Your clothing security needs to be able to respond to that drive kind of drive.

 You can’t always wait for the vendors to tag an item for you. Having access to your own personal cache of retail anti-theft devices will keep your new hot items in your store for maximum sales.

If you’re going to shoplift at least know what you’re doing…

I had a shoplifter the other day that did not think things through very clearly. While shoplifting, in general, is not the smartest move in the world, some shoplifters at least try to come up with a smart plan to get out the door undetected.

This woman had picked up a pair of jeans and then went into the fitting room to try them on. She was very nervous and jumpy every time the employees tried to assist her. She was in the fitting room for an awfully long time to try on just one pair of jeans.

 Well, the next thing we know, this woman is walking towards the door. While we could not see any tags, we did notice the clothing security retail anti-theft devices still attached to the bottom of the jeans she was wearing. We also saw her old pair of jeans rolled up and stuffed (mostly) into her bag.

 It was quite clear that the clothes she was wearing belonged to us. It was not a very sneaky attempt at shoplifting and she was quickly apprehended.

Keeping your Clothing on a Leash…

When you think of clothing security, you generally think about retail anti-theft devices like the hard EAS tags, or the soft labels. Both are commonplace in retail.

 The soft tags are generally embedded into a price label, or might be slid into the pocket of a wallet, or adhered to the brim of a ball cap.

 The hard tags are a little more bulky, and are made in two parts. There is the tag and the pin, which needs to pierce the garment or accessory to attach.

 Sometimes, neither of these are good retail anti-theft device options for clothing security. Soft tags can be removed depending upon placement. Hard tags can rip and snag delicate or stretchy fabrics.

 Having a third option is ideal for getting the most usage out of your cheap labels and cheap tags. A lanyard attachment can loop around these problematic pieces of merchandise.

 Lanyards can keep your clothes on a leash without the risk of damage or having a defeated EAS soft tag.
