It’s all about being aware!

Shrink, or inventory losses, is not just about stopping shoplifters using elaborate schemes and tactics. It isn’t even about expensive retail security programs. It’s really about awareness!

 . Are you aware of what your top merchandise losses are? If you can’t rattle off a list of your top five or ten items, how will you ever stop the shrink from happening? Are your associates equally aware? They should be. Not only are they an extra set of eyes to alert you to potential issues, but they will have a better sense of ownership if they are involved as a solution to the problem.

 Do you have retail anti-theft devices in use? There are reputable companies that do make affordable, cheap labels and cheap tags to use as deterrents in your stores. Make sure your associates are aware of how to properly respond to your EAS system going off. That awareness will help you reduce your shrink by sending a clear message to the criminal community that you and your associates are now aware.

Don’t cut Payroll, Cut Shrink instead!

It has long been said that payroll is the most controllable expense a store has. You have control over the wages spent, the hours worked, allowable overtime, and can increase and reduce as needed. Sounds sensible right?

 Well, I would have to disagree. When companies are reducing their work force to bare bones standards, some retailers are dangerously only having one employee in a store at any given point in time. I think that is just setting someone up to be hurt, or worse.

 Instead of cutting payroll, try cutting out your shrink. It is easier than you might think. Using cost efficient cheap labels and cheap tags for your retail security needs is almost guaranteed to reduce your inventory losses. Retail anti-theft devices are notoriously effective deterrents against theft.

 Since most stores do not have any way to financially allow for an inventory loss, that dollar comes right off the bottom line. A significant reduction in shrink can make a huge impact in bringing those bottom line profits back up to par. 

Don’t put your store and your employees at risk by reducing your payroll to the point where it is almost nonexistent. Reduce your shrink instead through retail security and retail anti-theft devices.

You can’t out-run shrink!

No matter how hard you try, I’ll bet you just can’t out run your shrink losses. Most stores think that as long as they keep exceeding their sales budgets, retail security can take a back burner.

 The days of stellar positive comps are over. Expenses are being cut left and right to make up for the difference in profits. Retail security is critical to bottom line profit increases. At some point, you can only cut out so much. So where do you turn?

 Retail anti-theft devices are designed to dissolve your shrink losses. If you use cheap labels and cheap tags for your go to retail anti-theft devices, you can avoid costly expenses to reduce your shrink.

 Not just for anti-shoplifting needs, these labels and tags will also keep your employees in check. Most companies report that around 40% of shrink is incurred by store employees. Why wouldn’t you want to make the right cost effective decision?

 Don’t keep cutting, and definitely don’t try to keep running. Put the focus back on retail security in your store.

Are your Anti-Shoplifting Devices worth what you pay?

In the land of retail security, retail anti-theft devices are a dime a dozen, sometimes literally. That doesn’t mean that every cheap tag and every cheap label is made up to the same standards.

 When it comes to retail anti-shoplifting devices and tactics, the implementation of an EAS system when paired with EAS tags and labels can potentially decrease shrink losses tenfold. That is one of the main reasons why it is so common for retailers to use EAS systems. It also makes sense that every company out there is going to try and cash in on the sale of cheap tags and cheap labels.

 Not every EAS device is created equally. Some labels are refurbished and do not have a high accuracy rate. Sometimes the labels may actually reactivate themselves if they sit too long, causing customer service issues. How much are you willing to pay for accurate results?

 Just because you can make and sell inexpensive products, doesn’t really mean you should. Go to a reliable source like RBC Retail Security Solutions and make your retail security investment efficient and effective.

Get SMART with your Anti-Shoplifting Plan

Retail security is a vast ever-expanding world of tips, tricks, gadgets and gizmos. Trying to determine where to start can be a completely overwhelming task. Even though there are a million ways to create an anti-shoplifting plan, try sticking to just one or two simple ways to begin with. Once you are comfortable with the scope, highlights and limitations of your plan it is much easier to move on to round two: execution.

 When you are starting to execute, think of it like any other action plan. One of the methods we used frequently was the ‘SMART’ Plan. Is your plan Specific, Measurable, Actions, Realistic, and Timely?

 When I train my managers, I always guide them through the SMART Plan way of thinking. All too often I would see elaborate action plans that sounded great on paper, but were far too complicated, time consuming or expensive to ever really work out, let alone work out quickly.

 Pick out something easy to institute into your daily routine. Retail Ant- theft devices like tags and labels are readily available and simple to use. You can also easily procure cheap tags and cheap labels to fit into your budget. It’s an all around SMART move!

Can Anti-Shoplifting Devices scare off customers?

Why is retail security so important to running a successful business? Retail anti-theft devices are often seen as a time consuming hindrance and bad PR instead of a valuable tool. The number one reason is customer satisfaction.

 It may seem like customers would be more likely to use the ignorance is bliss mantra when they shop. If there is no apparent sign of retail security, then they should assume they are perfectly safe, right? Not necessarily. If you do not have any visible theft in your store, it could really just be a matter of time before you become a target for shoplifters. Furthermore, this tells your customers that they are probably paying extra to make up for the unprotected merchandise that is walking out the door.

 Shoppers want to feel safe when they shop. A relaxed shopper will take their time and walk the aisles seeing what you have to sell. They are more likely to try on several items in a fitting room instead of just one. They are also in a better mood. That makes it easier on you and your staff to increase your ticket average and decrease your customer complaints. 

A customer that does not feel safe will not do any of those things. If they even decide to buy anything, it will be quick and to the point. Don’t allow petty criminals to scare off your good business.

Add Cheap Labels and Cheap Tags to your Anti-Shoplifting Regime

Retail security involves many different working parts with regards to being anti-shoplifting, some of which are different kinds of retail anti-theft devices used to deter theft. Retail anti-theft devices can, and should, be used where necessary. Also they are very inexpensive and easy to use. Cheap labels and cheap tags can be placed on almost anything. There are so many different types of cheap labels and cheap tags made specifically for different types of merchandise. You can have tags that pin to clothing (without damaging them of course) and labels that stick onto boxes.

 Cheap labels work well to compliment retail anti-theft devices by providing further visual warning to potential shoplifters. Let’s say a security tag is placed on a piece of clothing but it was placed incorrectly, or the clothing was folded in a way where the tag was not visible. Having a label present will let the shoplifter know that that particular item is protected.

 Retail security is essential in maximizing profits. Cheap labels and cheap tags are out there for you to use to scare off and deter those who want to steal from you. By having an anti-shoplifting mindset coupled with great customer service, your store will be a money maker, not a money breaker.

Preventing Return Fraud in 3 Visits or Less

Using retail anti-theft devices can be an effective tool in preventing return fraud in stores with return policies geared toward providing good customer service. Return fraud has been and continues to be a major problem in retail security. ORC (Organized Retail Crime) groups target merchandise that is valuable and easy to steal, which is typically merchandise lacking retail anti-shoplifting devices. The groups take non-tagged merchandise in order to appear legitimate when making a return of the merchandise they had previously stolen.

 Return fraud, when conducted in ORC situations, will usually occur in several visits to the store. When dealing with a chain of stores, these visits may occur one after another as they travel a central interstate or highway.

 The first visit may only involve a subject staging merchandise in a specific and secluded area of the store. The merchandise will probably be the highest valued, easiest to conceal, non-tagged merchandise that they can find. This subject may stage the merchandise in bags prior to leaving.

 The second visit will consist of the concealment and/or theft of the merchandise that was previously staged for them. This visit will probably take no longer than five minutes in the store and is difficult to detect.

 The third visit is where the fraudulent return takes place where the subject will return the merchandise that was previously stolen. These visits will often consist of several different subjects, and all three steps may happen simultaneously with several sets of merchandise. The easiest way to combat return fraud is to protect your merchandise with retail anti-theft devices.

Retail security when Resources are Limited

I was recently brought into a new store as a loss prevention supervisor and have found my resources extremely lacking and my workload practically back breaking.  The store has little in the way of available retail anti-theft devices, no retail security cameras to truly speak of, and the staff is made up of people who are either employee theft suspects or completely clueless in the way of shrink reduction practices.

I know that I am not the first loss prevention professional to encounter such a daunting situation while being assigned a store.  In fact it is not the first time that I, myself, have been put into such a situation.  However there are those among our ranks, usually the newer members of the profession, who might retreat when faced with such obstacles.  For those in the latter camp I have two pieces of advice that might make things easier to tackle. 

The first is common sense.  No matter how bad things in your store might be, don’t try to tackle every problem at once.  Take your issues one at a time in a priority of worst-case to easy-peasy and you’ll save yourself a ton of headaches.

 Secondly, don’t let a lack of resources stop you.  Rather, get inventive with what you have at your disposal.  No cameras?  Enforce a 100% tagging policy.  Not enough staff?  Let your cashiers be your eyes and ears.  Improvisation is the key to solving problems.
