No Risk Involved

Having jewelry is an essential up selling tool within a retailer. What better way to create an add on to an outfit or a new pair of shoes than to coordinate it with some great new accessories to complete the look.

 Using normal retail anti theft devices to prevent shoplifting your accessories is not completely 100% reliable. Most of the time the EAS tags and labels are hidden inside the packaging. Often the jewelry is easy to remove from that packaging.

 For a shoplifter, it is pretty much a no brainer. Take the product off or out of the packaging. Then discard the package in a remote corner of the store, or behind the mirror of the fitting room. Exit the store with stolen jewelry.

 In those scenarios, there is little to no risk involved for the shoplifter.

 Enter the Jewel Lok. It is the latest innovation in retail anti theft devices. There are jewelry specific solutions to prevent shoplifting of your merchandise.

 There are Jewel Loks for necklaces and bracelets, as well as both hoop and stud earrings. Each one creates a new, highly successful, locking mechanism to make sure your jewelry stays put.

 No more running around the store collecting loose, discarded jewelry packages. The Jewel Lok prevents the product from being removed without the proper detachers. Now you can be the one with little to no risk, selling your jewelry, that is!

Too many broken tags

Over the past few weeks I have been noticing more and more instances where there are piles of anti-theft devices stashed in some dark corner of the store, broken and mangled beyond usability.  It is the calling card of semi-pro and professional shoplifters going about their business of circumventing our anti-shoplifting measures.  On top of the cost of the items they stole there is the added cost of replacing all the destroyed tags.  The loss of ten or twenty every week may not seem like much but it adds up fast.  Before you realize it you have no anti-theft devices left to adhere to new stock and the price to order new shipments might be outside the constraints of your budget. 

Beyond trying to do the impossible (which is to completely shutdown ALL retail theft) the only things you can hope to do is mitigate your losses through renewed focus on your problem areas and looking for less expensive but still compatible replacement devices to supplement you anti-shoplifting needs.  I myself have had to replace almost every anti-theft device in one of my stores for the dual fact that so many had been defeated and they were so ridiculously outdated.

Did you lock the trash compactor?

Depending upon the size and location of your trash bins, you may have access to an open top trash compactor. In some of the stores I worked in, we were fortunate enough to have them built into our receiving department.

The plus side was that we could empty the store’s trash at any time of day or night and in any sort of weather, without somebody actually having to tote the trash outside.

Most companies have policies against using opaque trash bags, so no one can hide merchandise inside the bags and then take it out the back door.

When you have a trash compactor that is open, you need to be just as mindful about what and how things are being thrown away.

I recall an employee theft investigation that revolved around the night stocking team. The store was missing large quantities of power tools. We would reorder, but we never actually saw them on the selling shelves.

We started an employee theft investigation and noticed that we were showing receipts for the product. We set up surveillance on the night stocking team. Sure enough, they would pull the power tools off the truck, set them to the side until the end of the night. Then they would toss them out the compactor before the day mangers came back.

The day crew was busy getting the store ready to open, so no one ever saw the stockers drive around to the compactor and take out the power tools.

The employee theft investigation revealed that no one ever locked up the compactor. It was left open 24 hours a day and anyone could access it.

The right tag for the right materials

Delicate fabrics are everywhere right now. Easy, breezy linens, stretchy Lycra blends in swim wear, and burn out tee shirts are all inundating the clothes racks at all major retailers right now. Warm weather is brining out these great fabrics, and with them a need to take extra care in how they are EAS tagged.

 There are cheap tags called the E-Tag 4. These anti theft devices are a slimmer profile, making it vastly easier for customers to be trying on clothes. They are less than 6 cm long, which is a pretty significant reduction compared to some EAS tags and labels.

 These cheap tags are also designed to be compatible with all Sensormatic clothing security systems. It is comparable to the Sensormatic Supertag, so the same detachers can remove them.

 One of the nice things about the E-Tag 4 is that this type of clothing security is harder to be defeated by boosters with a foil lining. Foil bags can block the tags from setting off the clothing alarms, making it easier for shoplifters to steal large quantities of merchandise without having to remove the EAS tags.

 Having the right tags for these delicate or lightweight summer fabrics can reduce the potential to damage these materials. It also keeps a cleaner look on any clothes that are used for displays.

Background Check Experts

Bottle Locks can be a great Shoplifter Repellant!

Bottle locks are to liquor and wine shoplifters what OFF!®  is to mosquitoes.  As soon as they know it’s there, they head the other way.

Liquor bottle security has been a problem since the first bottle of spirits was openly displayed.  Alcohol is a prime target for a large segment of people that don’t want to pay for the merchandise.  There are underage people, there are addicts, and there are those that don’t feel that they need to pay premium dollars for a premium product.  Champagne tastes on a beer budget, maybe?

Whatever the reason, bottle security has its own specific set of challenges.  Customers, particularly those that are considering buying top shelf spirits and expensive wine, want to pick the bottle up, inspect it, and read the label.  Before bottle locks, the seller had to take care that his product didn’t walk out the door under some shoplifter’s jacket.  But hiding the product in a locked display or displaying it behind the counter hurt sales, when customers had to ask for the product by name. Hidden and safe, or open display and stolen, less profit either way.

But apply bottle locks and the shoplifter has a decision to make.  Does he want to take a chance on stealing a bottle protected by an Alpha Security bottle lock, or does he want to go to another store where the management doesn’t take shoplifting so seriously?

The bottle lock protects the bottle in two ways.  A cap fits over the bottle and locks easily into place so that the bottle cap or cork can no longer be removed, denying the thief the benefit of the product.  With a bottle lock in place, the bottle can only be opened by a special key that only the store has, or by breaking the bottle, which spoils the contents.  Bottle locks are equipped with an EAS (electronic article surveillance device) that work with retail anti theft devices.  When a bottle with the EASy bottle liquor bottle security by Alpha Security attached passes near the detector at the exit, an alarm is emitted, alerting the store staff that a bottle lock is leaving the building.  Shoplifters want two things other than free merchandise, and those are not to attract attention and not to get caught.  EASy bottle liquor bottle security makes both of those things likely in the event a shoplifter tries to steal merchandise protected with by bottle locks, the ultimate shoplifter repellant.

Avoid creating a liability

When you talk about the financial world of assets and liabilities, you are talking about the financial risk involved in adding debt to your business. Even if your debts or loans are to procure a tangible product, that acquired “asset “ is still seen as a liability.

 Retail security should never be viewed as a liability, in any sense of the word. Procuring anti theft devices should not put you farther into debt just to try and save your inventory dollars over the long term.

 Having access to cheap tags and cheap labels that will work with either a Checkpoint or Sensormatic system will help you avoid creating a financial liability for your company.

 Using cheap tags and cheap labels will strengthen your anti shoplifting programs. They will in turn help strengthen your bottom line profits by saving money on the investment in the tags and labels, in addition to the savings in your shrink line.

 Turn your liabilities back into productive assets. Take advantage of the tags and labels that are designed to compliment your existing retail security system.

Strengthening Your Clothing Security

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 tops of all shrink department lists. It is important to invest in clothing security by purchasing 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 surveillances of shoplifters and they leave the clothes with anti-theft devices in one peace. If your merchandise is in one peace then I’ve noticed that store managers can sleep in peace.

Clothing Security Tags Versus Shoplifters

Almost a tradition, Clothing security tags and a clothing alarm have long defended the retailer against shoplifters. At times the competition is all out war. Fortunately for many companies, clothing security tags are winning the battle. Yet, there are still others that have one hand tied behind their back attempting clothing security.

I once read a book about shoplifting or shoplifters, the name of the slips my memory, but it was written from the shoplifter’s point of view. Included in the text was “how to shoplift”, “what to do if you are approached by managers or security” and much more. There was a whole chapter dedicated to clothing security. The author details specifics about retailers clothing security processes, what they do and don’t do. On several occasions the author tells the readers to stay away from stores with clothing security tags, as they make the task of stealing more difficult. At the time this book was written, the technology of clothing security tags was in its infancy. Mostly, the large box retailers used security tags on clothes.

I found this book interesting and laughable, yet a tool for retailers to use to build a solid defense and clothing security. To this day, it gives good tips on shoplifting activities as the basics of shoplifting have not changed. They want the merchandise, and they want it easily.

Shoplifting is a huge problem for clothing retailers. If you are still operating your stores without security tags on clothes, your time will come. Even if you feel your store is in a “nice” area and don’t experience shoplifting, you’re kidding yourself. Security tags on clothes are your defense and your ticket to increased sales through merchandise protection.

Just like peeling an onion

I worked with a corporate investigator that used to say employee theft cases are always like peeling an onion. The further down you get, the more it starts to stink and the more layers start to unfold.

 In my experience, he was right. Employee theft cases keep retail security personnel on their toes. Just one employee out of control can equate to thousands, sometimes even tens of thousands of dollars in losses.

 There is a way to help diminish employee theft. Use anti shoplifting tools on your merchandise.

 Anti shoplifting tools like anti theft devices, are better known as EAS tags and labels. They are designed to provide a multi layer of defense against losses.

 These tags and labels are primarily designed to help eliminate and deter shoplifters, but also work well in deterring employees from stealing.

 If an employee were to steal an item that causes an alarm to go off, every one around them will take note. The employee has to come back and face the rest of the store, filled with people who know them.

 A shoplifter’s greatest asset is anonymity. An employee who does not have the same tool is even more likely to get caught.
