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.

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.

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.

Some like it hotter

Heat waves have been sweeping the country. It seems like most of us just can’t do enough to escape the triple digit temperatures. All of the radio and TV reporters are talking constantly about staying inside of air-conditioned buildings and other ways to beat the heat.

 So you know what happens next, right? Everyone goes to one of the most prominent air-conditioned public buildings around: the mall. Later, they go to chill out at the pool.

 In between those two actions, we have seen an influx in the theft of bathing suits.

 Good for us, we are using the “Golf Ball” tags on our swimwear. These anti theft devices are made up of two identical halves. About the size and shape of a smashed golf ball, the pin on the tag is concealed inside one of the halves.

 When the two halves are pressed together, the pin is not exposed, making it a great piece of clothing security for stretchy and mesh swimwear. It’s great because it stays in place, and it is less likely to damage the clothes.

The shiny new bracelets

It has been a busy week for shoplifters. I guess when the weather gets warm and everyone is out, some people are trying to sneak into the crowds to shoplift clothes undetected.

 We have had our share of cuts and scrapes from shoplifters trying to take off the anti theft devices. We use a better quality tag, so it does not pry apart easily, or can be cut with wire snips without doing some damage to themselves in the process.

 You have to watch what kind of EAS tags you use for your clothes. All too often the cheap tags are of poor quality and workmanship. The plastic is thin and easy to break. Any seams are not sealed tight and allow for a screwdriver to pry them loose.

 Just because you need a cheap tag doesn’t mean you have to settle for an inferior product. You spend the time to ensure a quality product in your store. Do your clothes justice and give them quality EAS tags to protect them.

I have something in my pocket

There are plenty of clothes and accessories that do not accommodate a hard EAS anti theft device used for clothing security. It may not seem like a soft adhesive label would be a good fit, but if you get a little creative, you can increase your odds of success in preventing theft.

 If you carry wallets or purses, it is easy to slip one of the soft labels into the pocket. Of course you can leave the paper backing on if you want. Since the soft labels will not adhere correctly to some fabrics or flowing materials, there is not a need to even try to stick them on somewhere.

 You can put the labels in the pockets of jeans or other pants. Hard tags might be too bulky for some of the skinny jeans, even at the bottom cuff.

 Since the labels can stay on the paper, it is simple to cut them apart, or even just rip the paper rolls with your fingers to expedite the process.

Red, White, and blew right by

A grab and run is a theft scenario where a person or group of people load up their arms, bags, carts, etc with store product and clothes, run as fast as they can to a car usually waiting at the curb with the engine running, and high tail it out of there.

 Because it happens so fast, it is hard to identify who it was, or even to get a plate number from the vehicle.

 That doesn’t mean you can’t produce some sort of clothing security to protect against a grab and run.

 To start with, enforce a no parking policy in front of the store. Many stores are set up with this area as a fire lane anyway, so just use that as an excuse to move cars right along.

 Next watch for anyone quickly loading up mass quantities of clothes.

  If someone is lingering by the exits with product, ask them if they need any help, or offer to hold their choices at the register.

Merchandise, in general

Working with general merchandise is a relatively new thing for me. I have spent most of my tenure working with clothing security. Overall the concepts are the same, but the clothes are different. As a result, there is a different criminal element that comes in to steal. The things they are after are not what I would usually expect.

 This is where I have been seeing more clothing theft as an after thought instead of the main goal. Even without the use of anti theft devices, there is less shrink, or inventory losses in the clothing assortments.

 What we do see is someone coming in and stealing personal care items, and then they may decide to take a shirt, or a pair of earrings.

 The big things are baby and toddler clothes. Small little onsies or rompers fit perfectly as they are rolled up into purses, or even hidden in a pocket of a coat.

 No one seems to want to just steal baby clothing, but if they are stealing something else, they take the clothes too.

Is your clothing on the Internet?

I did a recent online search for some clothes that were no longer available on the company’s web site. While I never did find the exact item I was looking for, it surprised me how many people were selling this store’s clothes online.

 A few of the items were used, but a good majority of them were being sold as brand new, never worn and with tags still attached. I almost wanted to ask if they even bothered to take the anti theft devices off, or were they not there to begin with.

 This is one of those cases where if it seems too good to be true, than it probably is. There is a reason why these new clothes are being sold at a huge discount. It is because they are, more than likely, stolen items.

 If you carry one of a kind piece, or think that you might have a theft problem, check your internet stores to see if your items are being resold. If they are, your local law enforcement usually has an electronic or internet crime division.
