It’s The Little Things- Retail Theft Prevention

October 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Sometimes it is the little things in life that matter. Sometimes it is also the little things that add up to big things, like shoplifting. The average shoplifter usually takes about fifty to one hundred dollars worth of product per each shoplifting incident. That’s not much. In fact, because these are only averages, many retailers have stopped wasting their time apprehending shoplifting incidents under twenty-five dollars.
What they have found is that the time and money spent to apprehend and prosecute these low dollar cases does not outweigh the losses from the crime. So it makes sense financially to let those small-dollar shoplifting incidents go.
The flip side is that when you have too many small dollar incidents, you still add up with a cumulatively large financial loss. For the big box stores that are large enough and financially secure enough to absorb such losses, this is not a big deal. 
What about for the smaller retailer? How much can you effectively absorb before it is too big to handle? 
You might want to focus on smaller dollar losses, so they do not become a bigger issue over time. It might make more sense to you to take care to these little things.

The Unsuspecting Face- Clothing Security

October 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When I mention organized crime, or organized retail crime, many of the people I am talking to start to picture scenes from The Godfather, or a roaring twenties mob boss. Because this image is so strongly embedded, many retailers think that because no one in a fedora and pin stripe suit is stealing from them they are immune to organized retail theft.
The sad reality is that organized criminals are stealing from these stores because the owners and employees are so oblivious to what is going on. The employees are simply looking the other way, or do not realize the full extent of the theft.
In fact, many organized retail theft cases that I have worked in the past revolve around a suspect that every one in the store has seen. That is because these thieves are in the store on multiple occasions and aren’t scared of employee interaction. When I show my employees pictures of my suspects so they can let me know if they see them, the employees often are surprised because they do recognize the suspect. They see them frequently, but never suspected a thing.
The days of mob bosses and pin striped suits are gone. The new face of organized crime is one of many nationalities, both males and females, and of all groups.

Don’t Discount Organized Retail Crime- Prevent Shoplifting

October 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
An old colleague recently sent me a news article about his city’s crackdown on repeat shoplifting offenders. In the article, the shoplifters had been stealing so much merchandise that they had enough to sell to local restaurants and corner stores.
As I read further into the article, I realized that I recognized one of the names. It was a habitual shoplifter that we had been trying to apprehend almost ten years ago. This particular shoplifter was stealing from several locations and would sometime return the items without receipt- using multiple aliases to get around our refund system.
Eventually we did apprehend her and ban her from our stores in addition to having her prosecuted. I guess that didn’t mean much to her, since she has continued with her life of crime all of these years.
What we didn’t understand at the time was that this shoplifter we had assumed was just a small time problem, was actually a major part of a local crime ring. Her entire life was dedicated to stealing product from retailers to later resell to other local businesses. She set herself up as a local distributor with lower than average pricing- making it an attractive low cost solution for these local businesses.

The New Application- Pre Employment Screening

October 15, 2014 by
Employee background checks are changing, just as new application and hiring practices are evolving. Many companies have rid themselves of the paper applications of yesteryear, and the ability to speak directly to the manager in charge of the hiring process. As such, applicants are wheedled down to a few generic statements in a standardized on line application.
The auto application eliminates the personal touch given by one on one interaction. Unfortunately, because the computerized applications don’t evaluate personalities, red flags and warning signs about an applicant are often overlooked. Employee background checks are needed to help fill in the blanks.
Since computerized applications request most of the needed information to complete employee background checks, it should be a simple process to have one done. By adding a sign line allowing a request to do pre employment screening, it is easy to get the potential employee’s approval before they are even brought in for an interview. 
For businesses that are still using paper applications instead of computerized or online applications, it is easier to do a quick pre employment screening at the time the application is handed in. Even if a manager does not do it, there are simple questions that any employee can ask.
Start with basic questions about the hours the candidate is available to work. Ask why they are leaving their old job, or looking for a second job. Ask if they have experience in the job they are applying for. Follow up with a brief description of the job responsibilities; include some of the less desirable tasks, and ask if they are still interested. Make sure any hesitation is noted on the pre employment screening form.

Profile of A Shoplifter

October 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment

shoplifting1It doesn’t matter if you make 20,000 thousand or a half million dollars a year.  It doesn’t matter if you are Caucasian, black, Hispanic or any other race.  Shoplifters come from all types of life. Some shoplifters have college degrees while some others did not finish high school.  Men, women and children shoplift from all types of stores, and the amounts they steal can vary dramatically. If you think you can spot a shoplifter right away, think again. For more news about shoplifting, follow the links below.

Cash Is King- Clothing Security

October 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Does your small business keep tight controls on your cash? You probably do. You probably have register reports that tell you how much cash you should have at the end of the day. You probably also count the cash in your safe and any starting banks for your tills. You most likely have a bank deposit log for outgoing deposits, and balance that record against your account statements form the bank every quarter, if not every month. Needless to say, cash is king, and your treat it as such to avoid cash losses.
How about your merchandise? Do you keep the same level of control and ownership of the clothes you sell? Do you maintain inventory tracking and counting in addition to having clothing controls in place? You have a locking cash register, but do you secure you clothing in any way within the store?
Many clothiers do not. Merchandise and inventories are an extension of cash- your cash. Instead of taking the shape of bills and coins, this cash comes in the form of shirts, shoes and accessories. 
Because you spent your carefully managed and tracked cash on purchasing your inventory, would it not make sense that you should spend as much time and effort in protecting your clothing inventory from losses?

A Better Sell Through- Retail Anti Theft Devices

October 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Every time an item of inventory is broken, damaged or stolen, a new item has to be purchased to replace the unusable one. As a result, the products that are actually sold need to pull more clout to be able to compensate for the missing item.
Of those three losses, theft is the most common, and the most financially devastating to businesses. It is more likely that a thief would steal multiple of an item, than it is to have multiple of the same items damaged. Even if they are, those can typically be traced back to a shipping problem and either the carrier or the manufacturer can be charged back, mitigating some of the potential financial losses.
Shoplifters, on the other hand, are harder to get a financial recourse from. Even when a shoplifter is apprehended, it can be very hard to charge them with prior incidents. Unless you have evidence that cannot be contested, you will only be able to claim the loss that was incurred during current incident that the shoplifter was apprehended during. That means you may have stopped the cause of the losses, but are still out the inventory from those prior incidents.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store for Alpha 2Alarm, Alpha 3Alarm, Alpha Fashion2, Alpha Jewel Lok, Alpha Nano Gate,  Alpha Shark Tag, Alpha Spider Wrap and other retail anti-theft devices from Alpha Security to use in conjunction with your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can help you prevent shoplifting in your business.

Share and Share Alike- Checkpoint Systems

October 12, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Just like we learned in Kindergarten, we should always share. That means we should also share with the shoplifters coming into our stores. The best way to share is to share information like your store policy regarding shoplifters as well as the fact that your store is protected and monitored by Checkpoint Systems.
A large part of anti shoplifting actually comes in the form of education. That means educating your employees on why you use Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint labels. It also means educating them on what behaviors a shoplifter demonstrates, and also what they can do to deter the shoplifter from stealing.
Sharing this same information with potential shoplifters is equally as important as a deterrent. That doesn’t mean your employees shout across the store that they think a customer is a shoplifter and they are being watched. It means that Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint Labels are not hidden. They are placed strategically and obviously so shoplifters are aware that the store is being protected.
The same thing goes with signage stating things like “shoplifters will be prosecuted” and “the premises is under video surveillance”. These signs should be displayed prominently so the information can be readily shared with anyone thinking that they might come steal from your store.

The Time Of Their Life- Alpha Shark Tags

October 10, 2014 by Leave a Comment
For many schools, proms and graduations are over. The need for formal and special occasion wear has come and gone. Teenagers across the United States have had the time of their lives. For many of them, they have also completed their wardrobing of their formal attire too.
The hard part of combating wardrobing retail is that there are blurred lines within the process. Stores take returns of items that are not worn. Stores take returns of items that are worn multiple times, but are defective. So why would it be so bad that someone wears clothing once, for a few hours, and then returns it?
Just because you can justify it, doesn’t make it any better, or any more ethical to be wardrobing retail. Retailers however do not have the luxury of entering into a discussion with these customers to convince them that wardrobing is bad.
The end result is that retailers need a better way to consistently uphold their return policies, while accommodating the legitimate customer return, and declining the fraudulent ones.
Alpha Shark Tags are designed to help clear up any grey area that a liberal return policy might have. The Alpha Shark Tags have the ability to hold a copy of the store’s return policy. They also provide a visual identifier for store employees to differentiate between a real customer and a wardrobing one.

Make Your Money Count- Prevent Shoplifting

October 10, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Before you start to look at electronic article security systems and other inventory security, you need to have an idea of what you have and what you are missing.
When you guess at your inventory levels, stopping theft is actually only one part of your worries. You need to be concerned also with how your business capital is being spent and where that money is going.
Accurate inventory is about making sure you have the right products at the right time. I worked for a company once that only allowed bags to be purchased once a month. I am not talking about a woman’s accessory here; I am talking about the plastic bags used to by the customers when they make a purchase. It was embarrassing to run out, not be able to order more, and then tell customers they have to carry an arm full of items out without bags. It was poor customer service, at the very least.
What we later found out is that the company was spending too much money on inventory they thought they needed, but really didn’t. That tied up the funds that could have been spent on checkout bags, maintenance repairs, and inventory that was actually selling well.
