Retail Anti-Theft Devices are well worth the Investment

Would you rather see your clothes leave the store paid for or unpaid for? Clothing security is an essential component to maximizing profits and minimizing loss. Some store managers are scared off at the idea of spending money on little plastic clips that may damage clothes. That is a huge misconception. Retail anti-theft devices are inexpensive, will not damage merchandise, and have an enormous return on investment.

I have been doing loss prevention now for five years and I can tell you that thieves tend to stay away from merchandise that is protected. Cheap tags come in all different sizes and types to fit the needs of your business. Cheap labels can also be purchased to add further visual deterrence by providing warning to potential shoplifters.

Buying cheap labels, cheap tags, or other retail anti-theft devices will be 100% beneficial to your store’s clothing security initiative.

ORC and clothing security tags

Today my store was the victim of the perfidious workings of an organized retail crime (ORC) group.  They bypassed everything from the clothing alarm to the Checkpoint tags as though they weren’t even in place.  In spite of their ability to surpass our clothing security measures, they failed in the end due a foolish oversight on their part (and perhaps a small amount of carelessness and arrogance).

Less than ten minutes after the first group of three women had escaped to their vehicle and fled the mall’s property (without anyone able to spot a license plate unfortunately) our office received a phone call about a man attempting to return nearly three hundred dollars of clothing product on the second floor, without a receipt.  Some of the pieces still had clothing security tags on them.

Under our advisement, and a second from management, the return was denied and the man left in a hurry through the third floor where I was waiting to follow on foot.  Sure enough, after tailing him along the outside of the mall for almost three minutes, I found him getting into a car that contained the three women who had stolen the clothing only moments prior.  I managed a walk-by that allowed me to call in the license plate number and a full description of the car to the local police.

Clothing security isn’t always such a task, with the foot pursuits and police intervention, but it seems to be becoming more and more common an occurrence these days.  Despite the fact that the Checkpoint tags and clothing alarms were defeated so effortlessly by them, the tools did provide us with the time and means to identify a rather experienced organized crime group.

This summer’s hottest mini, now available to you

Let the fashion world beware! The hottest mini to hit the runway is ready to hit your stores. This is the Mini Hard Tag.

 Boasted as one of the most popular hard tags, this little anti theft device is the perfect addition to all of your summer clothes.

 Small in size, and available in standard black, these tags are sure to please all of your customers. No worries about fussing with a tag to try on some clothes. No unsightly, huge, plastic bombshells stretching out your delicate fabrics and clothing.

 The Mini Hard tag registers the alarms at the doors from up to 4.5 feet away, so there is clearly no loss of power to their 8.2 MHz frequency (which means they are compatible with your Checkpoint Security Systems).

 Because of the Mini Hard Tag’s small stature, this anti theft device is also an easy substitute for any place you want to upgrade your clothing security from the soft, paper backed, RF labels.

Tag it all?

The big concern about deciding what clothes to tag was always figuring out what was our top priority. With a limited supply of tags, our goal was to always use the clothing security that we had on the merchandise that it would be most beneficial on.

  It was a combination of figuring out what merchandise was most expensive and what merchandise was most likely to be targeted for theft. We used those factors in order to implement our retail anti-theft devices as effectively as possible. While we were able to limit the theft of those protected items, we were still having major problems with theft elsewhere. When we protected one item the shoplifters just moved on to another. It was an endless game of cat and mouse, doing everything we could to figure out what was going to be targeted next, and get to it before the shoplifter did.

 With the prices or hard tags and other clothing security options coming down, we don’t have to make those choices any more. Our game of chasing the next hot items has ended. Cheap tags allow for tagging strategies from focusing of a few key items to covering the whole store level. Now we can focus on more important things, like catching the shoplifters.

The Key to Profits is Clothing Security

            Throughout my years of being a Loss Prevention Officer, I came to the realization that retail anti-theft devices placed properly on clothes can save a lot of headache, worry, and most of all money. If your main source of sales come from softlines (i.e. clothes), profitability and clothing security go hand in hand.

 A large part of preventing as much loss as possible is deterring theft. Deterring theft is an inexpensive tactic that all businesses should take seriously. If you are a thief what would you rather steal: A stack of jeans with anti-theft devices in place? Or a stack of jeans that are un-protected just asking to be taken? Stores without no loss prevention or minimal loss prevention staffing must employ deterrence, clothing security, and customer service tactics in order to prevent as much of this type of loss as possible.

             Visual deterrents are the best tools for this. As stated earlier, these tactics are very inexpensive. Cheap tags that clip onto clothing can come in all sorts of sizes and shapes to fit the needs of your business. These cheap tags will not damage the merchandise either, so there is no need for worrying about damaging your clothes. Cheap labels are a nice compliment for the tags and anti-theft devices in acting as a further visual deterrent for any potential shoplifters. Cheap labels warn would-be thieves that the merchandise is protected, and any type of theft will be detected.

We can’t always be perfect…

Although we wish our LP careers were perfect we all have moments when we just get beat.

Today was one of those days for me.

I was alone in my office and dealing with half a dozen other problems when it happened.  While listening to the droning monotone of a liability investigator on the other end of the office phone I kept myself busy by scanning through cameras on the CCTV monitor closest to me.  At the fifteen minute mark of my conversation I noticed a man who looked completely out of place in the store’s children’s clothing department.  Given his appearance and his unnaturally stuffed shopping bag through which I could see security tags on clothes, my attention shifted from dealing with the accident aftermath to observing the man much more closely.

Less than sixty seconds later I hung up on the liability investigator.

The man had selected three pairs of children’s jeans and a child’s printed sweatshirt and rapidly moved away from the department towards the nearby housewares area.  As soon as I paged for a store manager to dial my office extension the man took off down to the first floor in a jog.  I radioed mall security with his description and called local law enforcement as I ran out my office and could hear the Checkpoint tags set off the clothing alarm as the man crossed the threshold into the mall and went into a full sprint.  Other LP units in the mall had eyes on him even as he started ripping clothing security tags off the stolen merchandise as he ran, but somehow he not only made it to his vehicle, he also managed to elude police and avoid being identified.

Even with obvious clothing security in place, it only took a two minute grab and dash job to undo it all. Though security tags on clothes are effective they can in some cases be defeated. The only way to truly be diligent in our duties as LP professionals is to use all of the tools in our arsenal including CCTV and Checkpoint tags but even then we are sometimes defeated.

Need to use a little finesse

After receiving my free samples of the anti theft devices RBC provides for its customers, I had to go back to the website to check on something.

 I was sent a rounded disk that looks similar to a flattened out golf ball. I could twist the two halves, but could not get it apart. Was I missing a piece perhaps? 

Well, my discovery was great. I found the product. It was a “Golf Ball Hard Tag”. After looking at the additional pictures, it all made sense to me.

 The golf ball tag actually has the pin enclosed in one of the halves. This tag is designed for clothes that need a little bit of finesse when using a hard tag.

 Because the pin is inside the tag, stretchy or open weave materials are locked into place. These fabrics cannot be manipulated to stretch over the pin and allow a shoplifter to remove the hard tag.

 I am glad I took a look at this item up close. Without seeing the sample in person to make the connection to the description on the web site, I never would have known what I was missing.

Organized Retail Crime Thieves

Not long ago we were having huge problems with Organized Retail Crime thievescoming in and taking whole stacks of Levi’s. At that time we didn’t have any clothing security in place in our low risk stores, and we paid for it. You wouldn’t know you had been hit by a booster until you looked over and saw a missing stack of jeans where there had once been a full stock of them. The boosters were very quick and would be in and out of your store in less than five minutes. We would catch one now and again after dedicated focus on the department, but the problem didn’t stop. They would keep coming back making the circuit of our area stores and wiping out our denim supply. We knew we had to make a change and that we needed to get some anti-theft devices in place to stop this constant theft.

 We jumped on it full force and used cheap tags all of our Levi’s. It was a bit of an investment at first to get the supplies, but it quickly became a worth while investment. It was astonishing how quickly the boosting stopped. The ORC groups didn’t want to bother with the hard tags and moved on to somewhere else where they didn’t have to.

Don’t let shoplifters scare your Halloween profits. Use Clothing Security Tags.

With the holidays fast approaching, many businesses are getting ready for an increase of sales that comes with this being the busiest retail time of the year. The increased customer base can translate to more money for your business, but it can also mean more people trying to steal your merchandise. The last thing you want to be worried about is theft. One of the best ways to utilize clothing security is through security tags on clothes.

With clothing security tags, you can be more worried about ghosts and ghouls than shoplifters. At the stores I cover as a loss prevention agent, the managers and associates want to place their full focus on ensuring the customer has an awesome experience in finding the perfect clothes for their friends and family. Not all stores have the resources for a full loss prevention team so utilizing Checkpoint tags can make a huge difference in putting a scare on the holiday shoplifters that can plague your store.

Clothing security tags are easy and quick to install. They work with the entire clothing security system to sound an alarm when someone attempts to take your merchandise outside of the store. They do what all shoplifters want to avoid: draw attention. Shoplifters are familiar with clothing alarm devices and they would rather go somewhere else than risk getting caught removing the security tags on clothes. The devices keep the merchandise on the shelves so your customers can find the perfect presents.

Instead of letting the shoplifters put the “boo” in your night, install clothing security tags and scare those thieves away!

A Shoplifter’s worst Enemy, Anti-Theft Devices

Clothing security is important in any retail establishment if that establishment wants to make profit. If you go into any major retailer out there I can guarantee you that Loss Prevention has a list of the top shrink/loss departments. I can also guarantee you that on a list of five departments, three will be clothes.

 Clothes are easy to steal and that is the reason that they appear on top shrink lists. Investing in anti-theft devices including various forms of security tags will greatly lower your shrink. It’s a safe investment but best of all it is an inexpensive one as well. There are plenty different kinds of cheap labels and cheap tags available to fit your business needs.

 Let’s say anti-theft devices were placed on jeans. The device was placed incorrectly on a pair and it was not visible to a shoplifter, the tag failed in its purpose. But like a good partner, a cheap label was there visibly stating that merchandise from that specific rack was all protected. The shoplifter changes his mind and leaves the store, and you just saved some clothes.
