Small specialty clothing stores have been the target of many things that are bad for business, the economy, slashed budgets, reduced payroll and opportunistic thieves. The owners of these businesses are frantic and are hanging by a thread attempting to keep their doors open. The inventory losses coming at the tail end of a year of dismal sales due to the slowing economy and reduced payroll was the last facet of the perfect storm. Thieves see the slowing economy as a huge opportunity to pillage businesses that during the good times have retail anti-theft devices and plenty of payroll to ensure good floor coverage.

One particular clothing store that I helped was in dire straits. The owner was on the brink of closing her doors and could not understand why her clothes were walking out the door. A quick observation of her business showed that her lack of payroll and a non functioning checkpoint system were high on the list as to the causes of the shrink. The Checkpoint system was not broken, in fact once plugged in it worked just fine; however, when she opened her doors the system was already installed. This business owner did not know how to go about turning the system on and figured that she would never need it since she only had in her opinion a small business. The main problem was this business owner was not aware of the fact that an EAS system is one of the best clothing security tools in the industry. I explained that all of the clothes within her four walls could be tagged or labeled and if someone attempted to remove them from the store the EAS pedestals would sound the alarm. She understood the fact that when there is proper signage indicating there is a working EAS system even if payroll and staff have been reduced there will still be a deterrence factor against shoplifting.

The selling point to the business owner was the fact that she could purchase inexpensive labels and tags from RBC Security Solutions to tag her products. She was also impressed with the fact that the tags and labels were manufactured here in the United States. As a small business owner she appreciates the fact that companies are able to develop and manufacture products here in the US thereby supporting local economies. Once her EAS system was activated, her employees trained on how to tag/label and respond to EAS alarms her weekly inventory category counts immediately improved, the hemorrhaging stopped. Another small business saved with the ingenuity of an American business improvising and manufacturing products that help keep businesses from failing due to high shrink.

Celebrities set the trends. If Lady Gaga sings about her Michael Kors handbag and how “you” can’t afford one, her fans will be sporting the pricey bags soon after. At around $350 a pop, not everyone will be able to shell out the cash for one.

Along with handbags, Michael Kors designs watches, clothes, wallets and fashion jewelry-all at high-end prices. Knowing what brands are hot in the media world can set you a step ahead of the game. Using retail anti-theft devices and paying particularly close attention to the activity occurring on the sales floor near those sought after brands can help deter theft.

 Another fad-brand in the celeb world is True Religion, a high-fashion jean brand that is commonly targeted for theft. Lucky Brand has also been made famous by celebrities and is highly desired. Most brands that the rich and famous boast about are unaffordable to the average consumer and therefor more likely to pose a problem of theft.

 Whether you run a big box store or a specialty boutique, it is integral to know your brands and add extra  retail clothing security tags where needed.

If you have a retail store that focuses on selling clothes you should be made aware of the fact that clothing security is much more than simply picking out a few retail anti-theft devices and thinking you are all set.  In truth you have to do everything from picking the anti-theft devices to ensuring the clothes are placed in an area of the store that makes them less vulnerable to potential shoplifters. 

 Store layouts are key in protecting your assets.  For starters; placing the clothes as far from the entrance as possible ensures that they are less likely to be the target of ‘grab-and-dash’ types of theft.  Then, ensuring that there are very visible cameras or other forms of surveillance devices helps make the thieves think twice when targeting said items.  Finally, the biggest issue in clothing security is protecting items going into a fitting room.  Not all places can afford to add it to the payroll, but I cannot proclaim the value of a continuous fitting room attendant enough.  A physical presence of a store employee is an almost surefire way to keep people from using your fitting rooms to steal items from your store.

When it comes to applying clothing security, we had a solid tagging process in place in our store. As soon as the merchandise was received, we had a tag on it. The only problem was that when I went to audit our tagging compliance on the sales floor, I was always coming up with clothes missing tags. Our receiving team swore it wasn’t them, and after observing their process I knew it had to be something else. What we finally came to realize was that one frequently missed task when providing clothing security was the tagging of returned merchandise. There are often very firm and well planned processes in place for tagging merchandise such as clothes as they are received, but if you do not have a hold on tagging merchandise as it is returned you will always come up short.

 Often times returned merchandise is missed in regard to anti-theft devices. It is a process in which merchandise is brought into the store, yet it is often not considered as receiving. Because of this it can cause us to miss the regular processes that are followed when merchandise is received. Having product protection plans in place for merchandise that is returned can have a huge impact on ensuing complete accuracy.

If you own or manage a retail establishment, chances are you sell clothes and also get them stolen from you. I have been doing loss prevention for over five years and I can honestly say that clothing is always on the top of all shrink department lists. It is important to invest in clothing security by purchasing retail anti-theft devices to place on the merchandise. These are extremely inexpensive and also have an enormous return on investment.

             Cheap tags can be purchased and placed on merchandise with no risk of damaging the product. I would also recommend investing in cheap labels as well just to provide further visual protection warning shoplifters that the clothes are protected.

             Clothing security is essential in businesses in order to make sure the only things leaving your store are paid for. I have done countless surveillance of shoplifters and they leave the clothes with anti-theft devices alone.

There is a tactic among the more seasoned shoplifters where one will legitimately purchase clothes and then go to another store and steal the exact same items to return them for a refund on what they had paid for the original ones.  It is so common a practice I probably witness it at least once a week.  Many companies have taken steps to counter this fiendish practice which includes a return tracking system which informs sales staff when an item has already been returned prior to the current attempt to do so.  This system is not without its flaws and on more than one occasion I have seems store management override said system to “make the customer happy because it might have been a mistake”. 

 I’m not saying it’s outside the realm of possibility that someone messed up but more often than not it’s a repeat returner trying to pull a fast one.  Unfortunately for those dealing with clothing security there is little we can do except enforcing adherence to these policies and training our staff for the tell-tale signs that a returned item was stolen in the first place.  Things like spotting rips in the fabric where anti-theft devices were forcibly removed or where said anti-theft devices might still be in place.
