Two Sides To Every Story

Just like there are two sides to every story, there are also two sides to every EAS tag. These anti theft devices, designed to enhance your retail security, come with two separate and distinct sides.

 There is the pin side of the EAS tag. It looks and acts just like it sounds like it should. It is a metal pin attached to a plastic end. The pin pierces the item to be tagged, and is fitted into the hole in the larger, plastic tag side.

 This piece is actually two separate pieces fused together. Inside is the actual EAS tag component that sets the alarms off if it is not deactivated prior to leaving the store.

 Even in the cheap tags you want to make sure you have a relatively seamless construction within this side of the anti theft device.

 If you don’t shoplifters, can easily pry that piece apart to eliminate the tag within. This would allow them to escape with the merchandise undetected and then removing the rest of the pin at their convenience.

Help Put the Shoe on the Other Foot with Anti-Theft Devices

While working as a Loss Prevention agent for a clothing retailer, our shoes were literally walking out the door…on the feet of shoplifters. Our daily routine included visits to our office by associates from the shoe department who found a box containing dirty and worn footwear that someone decided to swap out with our merchandise. We tried to watch the cameras for the shoe aisles as often as we could to try to detect if any customers were displaying indicators that revealed their intention to make off with our shoes. Alas, it turned out that there were too many footwear thieves and too little LP employees for detainments to tighten up our retail security in the shoe department.

 The loss to the department and store was so devastating that my employer realized the need to invest in anti-shoplifting tags to prevent this problem from getting the best of us. Immediately the efficacy of the anti-theft devices became apparent, when at first the amount of shoe swap outs halted completely. 

However, within a week certain shoplifters came prepared with cutting tools to defeat the tags. On the other hand, the time it took to try to remove the sensor prolonged the thief’s time in the store and it was a pretty noticeable activity. In addition, when we arrested these equipped individuals the police often charged them with burglary because of the instrument in their possession.

 Best of all, the utilization of these tags helped us keep retail security in my store under control and the number of shoe swap outs was decreased by more than seventy-five percent. The anti-theft devices helped us stop dishonest customers from effortlessly walking countless miles in our shoes for free.

Doing your part

Retail security goes beyond anti theft devices. It is about creating a comprehensive anti shoplifting strategy for your store. You have to know how to use the EAS tags and labels to your advantage. You also have to know what else to do to protect your inventory.

 Having the tools and resources available to do your job makes things a lot easier. Knowing how to use them to your advantage makes an even bigger impact.

 Do your employees know to look for and deactivate every tag on every item that they ring up? Is it more widespread practice that your employees try to guess and consequently pick and choose which items they attempt to deactivate?

 When EAS tags and labels are not properly deactivated, false alarms result. If your employees don’t take the time to remove the EAS devices, why do we think they would take to time to respond to an alarm?

 Shoplifters watch for unanswered alarms. That’s one of the reasons they target a store over another one. Setting the standard for 100% deactivation will further the overall effectiveness of your anti theft devices.

Buying Online

I do a lot of online shopping, more than what I realize sometimes. It is so much easier to find what I want at the price I am willing to pay. Not every brick and mortar store can carry the variety of products I need for my home and my business. My husband and I even ordered our wedding rings on line.

 One thing we realized in that process is there are still some things you don’t want to buy sight unseen. The diamond for my band was one of them. It was one thing to risk being potentially scammed out of a band, thousands of dollars on a diamond is completely different.

 This is why I like the ability to order a free sample of anti theft devices. I don’t want my retail security to be scammed. My inventory needs protection, and these are the anti shoplifting tools I want to use.

 When I look at the samples, I can gage first hand the quality of product that will be protecting the thousands of dollars worth of inventory for my store. I know I will be making the right choice and can buy on line without regret.

Anti-theft devices and your store’s restrooms

Among the more perfidious methods of theft in retail environments, is a shoplifter taking their selected items into store restrooms.  Just as with fitting room theft there are very exacting requirements to adhere to before executing any shoplifting apprehension involving a restroom concealment and it creates a great deal of pressure and stress for us within the Loss Prevention community; so much so that nine times out of ten we tend to avoid going after such suspects as the risk of making a bad stop is too high. 

The way around this is to create a problem for the shoplifters before they even get to the ‘safe zone’ of the restrooms.  Since the vast majority of items taken into restrooms already have anti-theft devices in place it is simply a matter of establishing a compatible retail security gate just before the restroom entrance.  That way, should anyone try to get a tagged item into said restroom alarms would sound just as if they tried to exit the store with the same items. 

 Furthermore, in some jurisdictions the attempt to take unpaid product into a store restroom is akin to walking out the front doors with it and a stop can be made (with cause) when the alarm sounds.  Of course you need to verify with your state and company retail security policies but if you have the ability, use it.

How to prepare for the unexpected

Retail security involves developing and executing plans to prepare for just about every conceivable situation to protect the safety of your employees, your customers and to secure the profitability of your store and its assets.

 On the very forefront of inventory protection are anti theft devices. They are retail security’s permanent eyes and ears.

  As a manager, I can’t stand guard over my high theft merchandise every single hour the store is open. I also can’t realistically expect to have the store employees standing in shifts over that same product.

 This is where anti theft devices are useful. Once the EAS devices are attached, they are permanent. I know that if I leave for the day, that hard tag I put on a pair of jeans will still be there when I get in the next morning.

 I know that if someone does try to steal an item, the EAS tag will set an audible alarm off notifying every one in the area to be on alert.

  In retail security you do your best to prevent the unexpected from happening. Anti theft devices help eliminate the unexpected in the way of a shoplifting loss.

Is your stores lack of security cooking up trouble?

Many stores offer a department dedicated to cookware. Some of the items are small and easy to conceal; knives, kitchen utensils, etc. But other larger items, like blenders, specialty coffee machines and cookware sets, are harder to hide on your person. Unfortunately, some stores do not offer bags large enough to place these sizable items in. Allowing customers to walk out with these high-priced items without a bag only opens the door for shoplifters to do the same.

 Working as an LP agent, I once experienced a reoccurring shoplifter who would come into my store, select a high-priced cookware set, and walk out to his car. This happened every few weeks for several months.  Eventually, we caught him red handed at the exit with an unpaid for set. When we asked him why he chose to steal this particular item over and over, he told us it was easy for him. Walking out of the store, unquestioned, with one high-valued item that could be returned later for store credit was easier than concealing multiple items.   

 An easy way to deter shoplifters is by attaching Anti-theft Devices to these larger items. Cheap Tags and Cheap Labels are an inexpensive fix to this problem. Also, having an associate or Retail Security personnel ensure these un-bagged items are paid for by checking receipts at the door can help prevent retail theft from happening in your store.

Thermal Images

Do you currently use a thermal printer in your store to print out bar codes, new labels, shelf tags, etc? If you do, then you are completely in luck! One of the best anti theft devices are cheap labels that work directly with your thermal printer.

 These labels are blank which allows you to customize them for all of your retail security needs. These labels are soft EAS labels that can be disguised as other bar codes, price labels, even company logos. Because they work with your thermal printers, you don’t need to go out and buy another expensive piece of equipment. You also don’t need to pay someone else a premium to customize them for you.

 The adhesion is pretty good too. These aren’t stickers like my daughter gets at the grocery store. These are real labels that are designed to stick to the products you want them to without running the risk of them falling off. There is also a thickness to them, so they won’t be ripped off the packages without putting up a good fight.

Right then and there

Having EAS tags and labels is a very important step. It really should be the first step. These anti theft devices are visual deterrents to a shoplifter. They tend to work even better than cameras and domes. The reason is the immediacy of an EAS tag.

 If a shoplifter steals an item with an active tag, the alarm will sound, and they will be noticed. If they steal something under a camera, or dome, there is no guarantee that someone is not only watching at the exact moment, but is specifically watching them.

 Cameras are useful, don’t get me wrong, I have made many successful apprehensions because of them. I also had the liberty to spend my days watching cameras. Many small businesses do not have that luxury of time or payroll. 

The EAS gives that immediate response to really protect your inventory from theft. It is the first step in a great retail security strategy and process. Don’t rely on a camera to do the job. Get something up front to show a shoplifter you mean business.

Anti-theft devices aren’t just anti-shoplifting tools

One of the things that happen to plague most retail companies is employees “accidentally” going home with a piece of equipment in their pockets.  The items range in size and scope from pens and memo pads to pricing guns, mag-keys, and walkie-talkies.  The truth is that a lot of the time, it is simply a matter of an employee forgetting to turn in their gear at the end of their shift but what it does is creates issues when too much equipment has walked out the door leaving a handful or no usable equipment left in the store to conduct necessary business. 

By managing a log of who is assigned certain pieces of equipment a store can certainly lessen the impact of these disappearing items.  But to be certain the more important pieces don’t go for a stroll you should look into attaching an anti-theft device that will sound the alarm when something crosses the threshold that shouldn’t.  A set of Cheap Labels can cover most walkie-talkie units without lessening their effectiveness.  Same goes for mag-keys (as long as they are applied to the correct side).  As for price guns a Cheap Tag attached via a loop or around a part of the handle works just fine.
