What’s in Your Bag?

One of the tricks of the trade is using a bolster or booster bag to shoplift. These are devices made to help shoplifters go about your store undetected. Some states do have legislation making it a crime to be in possession of or to use a bolster or booster. That doesn’t mean it stops shoplifters from stealing though. Remember, shoplifting is also illegal, and they ignore that one too.

 In the most simple terms, bolsters and booster bags may be anything from harnesses, to secret pockets sewn into clothes, to foil lined bags. Each one is designed to attempt to circumvent any anti theft devices you may have in place.

 A trained Loss Prevention professional will know how to spot those shoplifting tools, and make sure that the shoplifters are in fact apprehended and prosecuted. These tools can wind up being a thief’s downfall, as they further prove their intent to steal.

 Keep your clothing security programs in place and even the most innovative shoplifter who thinks they have a fool proof tool will be thwarted in the end.

Clothing Security: Keep Your Clothes Safe

If you own a business that sells clothing, chances are that you own a business that loses clothing too. If you do not have the luxury of having Loss Prevention in your store you must rely on two things to reduce your shrink/loss: Customer Service, and Deterrence. Clothing security encompasses a couple of tactics.

First, having security tags on clothes is vital as a visual deterrent. Shoplifters are less likely to steal merchandise if they notice clothing security tags on it such as checkpoint tags. Checkpoint tags are tags that clip onto clothing and sound an alarm once they pass a certain checkpoint (the door alarms). These tags go hand in hand with a clothing alarm. This brings me to my second method of clothing security.

A clothing alarm is a device set up by the exit doors that look like metal detectors. They activate and let off a loud noise when it senses merchandise with checkpoint tags still attached. Throughout my experience as a Loss Prevention Officer, I can tell you that the one thing a shoplifter hates is being noticed. And he or she will be noticed standing at a door with alarms going off.

Deterrence is extremely important in order to minimize loss and maximize profit. Investing in clothing security tags such as checkpoint tags, making sure proper placement of security tags on clothes, and having a clothing alarm to compliment the security devices are essential parts of maintaining clothing security.

Do you have what it takes?

I don’t watch much television, but I do have a few TV shows that are a guilty pleasure. One in particular, is a reality series that tests the contestants in sometimes completely bizarre ways. Mentally and physically challenging, the contestants are often asked if they have what it takes to win.

 Clothing security is often no different. Your mind and body are often tasked with an endurance challenge to see who will win- you or the shoplifters. You enter the arena with your skills, your business acumen and the desire to eliminate shoplifting from your retail store.

 Now all you need is some tricks of the trade. In this particular contest, what you need to assist you are some anti theft devices. Even better, are cheap tags and cheap labels for you to use with your EAS system.  They will maximize the potential financial return on your investment.

 Armed with these skills and tools, you will have a clear-cut advantage to reduce your losses from shoplifters. You can truly be rest assured that you really do have what it takes to win.

On the road

I just came back from a great weekend with my family. We took a road trip up north to see one of the national museums that we had been dying to go see. It was well worth the trip, I might add. Even my toddler loved it.

After we had walked all seven floors of the museum, we decided to take a quick swing through the gift shop on our way out. They had a large amount of clothing for sale, but none of it seemed to have any clothing security tags.

I thought that was pretty strange for a tourist attraction to not have any visible clothing security. After I took a closer look, I could tell that they didn’t use any clothing security tags. They did have clothing security in the form of soft labels.

These labels were imbedded into the price tags of the clothes. It was a pretty smart move, I thought. There was still a form of protection in place, but it wasn’t overtly publicized.

No doubt they have had their share of shoplifters, but the amount of false activations from their clothing alarm was greatly reduced. No one ever forgot to remove a hard tag. The soft tags were disarmed as soon as they were placed on the counters at the wrap stand.

In a museum, the last thing you want is to have a clothing alarm going off every few minutes. This individual take on clothing security was very well thought out to suit their needs.

Hidden in Plain Sight

A shoplifters best friend is anonymity. They thrive in situations where they can move about undetected with ease. Sometimes that is a result of inattentive store employees due to neglect. Other times, the sheer masses of customers in a store make spotting a shoplifter near impossible. Think of trying to spot a needle in a haystack.

 When you look forward to Memorial Day weekend shopping, you might be conflicted. While you want to anticipate and get excited about increased sales and customer counts, you might also be aware that there will be an increase of shoplifters and shoplifting incidents.

 Installing anti theft devices on your clothes now can help alleviate that nervousness regarding potential theft in your stores. You will have the confidence to know that your store’s inventory is protected even if you can’t keep an eye out for every potential shoplifter out there.

 Just because a shoplifter is trying to hide in plain sight doesn’t mean they should be able to carry out their plans. Put your EAS tags in plain sight to send them on their way.

Good thing I checked inside my jeans

I was looking through the pockets of a pair of jeans the other day as I was trying to get some laundry done. I am forever leaving random receipts or chap stick in my pants, so I make a habit of always checking before any thing goes into the washer.

Sure enough, I felt something as I was searching the pockets. Strange, I thought. I can’t get anything out. As I took another look, I realized whatever I found was actually on the inside of my jeans, not in the pocket.

As it turns out, there was a little pouch inside my jeans that was holding a clothing security tag. Now, since I haven’t set any clothing alarms off at any store I have been in while wearing the jeans, I can safely assume that the tag was properly deactivated at the register when I bought them.

I can also assume that the tag in question was more than likely a Checkpoint tag. Some of the cheap import knock off labels have a habit of reactivating themselves if they are not properly cut out and discarded, like my little pouch instructed me to do.

A true Checkpoint tag is designed to not reactivate, as the tags can potentially cause customer service issues if it does reactivate.

Take a pit stop

I do a fair amount of traveling in my free time. Whether I am in and out of airports, or travel stops on the highway, I see the same clothing security breakdowns time and time again.

 Often these retailers are in an open area where there is a significant amount of foot traffic. The majority of this foot traffic is also transient in nature, as in all the shoppers are travelers from another city, or state, maybe even another country.

 If the retailers have no anti theft devices on their clothes, it is very easy for someone to slip in to the store, take what they want and slip back into the passing crowds of people never to be seen from again.

 It is an opportunistic nightmare. Most of those shoplifters probably aren’t on their holiday with the intention of finding a place to steal. They saw an opportunity present itself and get the better of them. The key rational is that they will never be back, so no one will notice them.

 Keep your eyes peeled for the traveler. They may be trying to take your merchandise on a vacation too.

Anti-Theft Devices: A Shoplifter’s Enemy

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 tags available to fit your business needs. In order to compliment these tags are very cheap labels which serve a shrink reducing purpose.

            Let’s say anti-theft devices were placed on jeans. The device was placed on it 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 were all protected. The shoplifter changes his mind and leaves the store, and you just saved some clothes.

Methodology in clothing security

If you have a retail store that focuses on selling clothes you should be made aware that clothing security is much more than simply picking out a few 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 desirable targets for potential shoplifters. 

Store layouts are key in protecting your assets.  For starters; placing the clothes as far from the entrance as possible ensures 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 someone from pulling something in the fitting rooms.
