An Easy Way To Wardrobe- Alpha Shark Tag

Alpha Security is very acutely aware of the problems that customers who are into wardrobing can cause. Wardrobing is when a customer buys merchandise –primarily clothing- and returns it after being worn. To prevent the majority of wardrobing, Alpha Security designed the Alpha Shark Tag.

The Alpha Shark Tag is a small red plastic tag that is attached to the front of a garment in a very conspicuous place. It is to be removed by the customer after they purchase the item. Once the tag is removed, the retailer will decline the refund of that item.

This work wonderfully with clothing, as it is intended to. Shoes, on the other hand are different. The tags are not designed to fit onto shoes. This means that in order for your employees to discern a legitimate return versus a return involving wardrobing, you have to look for other clues.

The two primary places to look are at the foot bed and the sole. If you look inside the shoe, a worn shoe will start to show imprints of toes. Because this is not always reliable, look also to the sole for evidence of wear. When a shoe is worn outside of a house, you can see scuffs on the soles. You will also see tiny bits of dirt and gravel imbedded in it.
