It’s Sew Easy! – Security Tags On Clothes

September 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment
For some retail boutiques, it is all about the brand image. That is a key selling point for your customers- their clothing came from the boutique, not some mass merchandise clothing store. In reality, how many boutiques have the resources to create and manufacture their own lines? Not very many, so the solution comes in re-branding existing clothing that may or may not have any clothing security attached.
When a boutique re-brands their clothing, they are usually taking other designer’s clothing and eliminating these logos and other identifying tags. The boutique will then sew in their own tags and logos; effectively creating their own in house brand of clothing and merchandise. 
Fortunately for these small boutiques, this re-branding process is a prefect time to add security tags to clothes. Checkpoint tags have a sew- in label that is the perfect clothing security.
These sew- in labels are highly efficient from a labor and payroll perspective. The labels are sewn into the garment at the same time the boutique’s labels and tags are sewn in, saving time and effort.
The labels are also customizable, which can further reinforce the boutiques brand and image.
Finally, the labels are harder for a shoplifter to find and remove. It really is a solution for clothing security tags that are sew easy!

Use Your Leverage- Checkpoint Labels

September 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When you have product stolen out of your inventory, who pays? Obviously, you do. You pay for the initial product that is lost and you will pay again to replace that same product to have more available for your customers to purchase. If you are installing the Checkpoint labels yourself to stop shoplifting, you might be loosing out on more profits than what you realize.
When you have product stolen, your vendors do not care. They might be sympathetic to your plight, but they are not out anything financially. In fact, your vendors are actually profiting by your losses. When you have to purchase inventory items twice, the vendor gets paid twice. When you have one of those two products stolen, you only get paid once- so who comes out ahead?
This is where you need to leverage your vendors into source tagging your Checkpoint labels. They should be paying their employees to take the time and effort to do the tagging for you, and save you money. If these vendors are resistant, you need to start looking at other suppliers who will source tag for you. There is no reason that your vendors can’t enhance your Checkpoint systems. Chances are they are already doing it for other businesses.

The Five Steps- Shoplifting

September 4, 2014 by
In the retail environment, there are five steps associates with stopping shoplifting in progress. While they may not correlate directly to a legal apprehension made by local law enforcement, these five steps are designed to keep a retail establishment in the clear from wrongful detainments.
If you are going to allow employees, whether it might be a manager, or a dedicated loss prevention employee (if you are so lucky to afford one), to make an apprehension, you need ensure these steps are followed to a T.
Loss prevention training is extremely important as the elimination of even one step can create a huge lawsuit and liability for your business.
The steps are as follows: First, you need to see the subject enter the store. The point is to see what they have, what they are wearing or carrying, so you can conversely know what merchandise they are stealing from you.
Next you need to see them enter the area where the merchandise is sold. You absolutely need to see them select (pick up) the merchandise in question. Again, this ensures you can verify the merchandise is absolutely your property and not theirs.
At this point you need to see them conceal the product or otherwise demonstrate that they are intending to steal.
Maintain constant observation of the merchandise. If you loose contact, can you be sure they did not discard the merchandise somewhere along the way? Some shoplifting suspects do get spooked and drop the product.
Finally they need to exit the store and pass the last point of sales. Loss prevention seminars are out there that can further expound on these steps, and explain the subtle nuances that can arise during an actual shoplifting stop.

Get On The Band Wagon- Retail Anti Theft Devices

September 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Alpha Security has just released their latest in retail anti theft devices. It is called the Banded Hard Tag. The tag’s functionality provides for the same features to prevent shoplifting that their other retail anti theft devices do. The difference is in the physical design of the Banded Hard Tag.
Instead of the conventional two part hard tag that consists of a pin and a “button”, the Alpha Security Banded Hard Tag is designed out of just one piece of molded plastic. By only having one piece to control instead of two, retailers will find a variety of benefits from using this new design.
The tags are small, measuring a mere 1.78”L x 0.637”W x 0.844”D. They prevent shoplifting of standard clothing items. Additionally, they provide protection for other merchandise that has historically been difficult to attach EAS hard tags to. Shoes, zippered bags (like comforters and sheet sets), and intimates can now benefit from shoplifting protection.
Even if the band is cut on the Banded Hard Tag, the pin will continue to protect the merchandise. Even better, there are replacement bands and pin to minimize long term costs associated with maintaining the EAS tags.
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.

They Just Start- Employee Theft Investigation

September 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Here’s a recent Huffington Post story of employee theft that made headlines. A 17-year-old boy was fired from his job at a chain retailer for stealing money. Not to be discouraged, the teen went to another store in a nearby town on Black Friday.
He told them he was there from a different store to help with Black Friday. They put him at a register. He worked for about six hours and took all the cash that he made. That haul totaled about $3,000.
When the manager realized (after the fact) what happened, he notified police and the company’s corporate headquarters. Local authorities launched a secondary employee theft investigation. 
While all of that was going on, managers at a third store were unaware of what was going on when the teen when he showed up there in December
He presented himself as a general manager and said he needed to run some audits on some of the registers and on the store. He was even able to convince one of the store’s managers to take him into the cash room.
While in the cash room, the manager was called to assist another employee. It was during that time that the teen stuffed his pants with around $36,000. Adding insult to injury, the teen allegedly hugged the manager on his way out of the office.
Sometimes it isn’t easier to have the resources of a big box store.

Give Them The Liability- Employee Background Checks

September 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When you conduct employee background checks, your business can be held liable for the information that you find. In particular, if a potential candidate is declined employment based off of those findings.
If this candidate feels like they were wrongfully declined, they have the option to contest the check, and bring potential litigation against your business if the employee background checks were proven to contain misinformation.
When you hire a background check company, you push this liability back to them. They are now responsible for providing you accurate and timely pre employment screening. If for some reason there is determined to be erroneous information, the liability is with the background check company and not with you.
As a responsible business, obviously you would want to work with both your potential candidate and the background check company to fully resolve the issue. The common goal would then be to correct the errors and move forward before the situation gets to a point where litigation would be necessary.
When you contract with a reputable and experience background check company, this concern should be part of their standard operating procedures. They need to stand behind their work and the pre employment screenings that they generate for you. If for some reason, they will not back their work, or push the liability back to you, you need to go elsewhere.  That should be an enormous red flag that they may not be in the business of providing accurate reports.

A Bigger Problem- Liquor Bottle Security

September 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment
One of the fun things about working in a liquor store is seeing the massive array of liquor bottle designs and shapes. Some are sleek and modern. Others are rustic and strangely shaped. Some bottles rely on a shocking color palette to be seen in the crowd. All of them need to have liquor bottle security to prevent them from being stolen or misused.
I must say, Alpha Security does an outstanding job of designing bottle locks to individually suit the diverse assortment of liquor bottles. One such lock that I have recently been using in my stores are the Magna Guarde bottle locks. It has features that I can’t find on other locks that work for my two highest theft products- Patron and 1800.
The extra large size better accommodates the unusual cap sizes found in many tequila brands. To better secure a proper fit, the Magna Guarde has a clamshell design, providing additional benefit denial protection. The clamshell’s internal hinge makes it virtually impossible to defeat.  A button on the bottom of the base adjusts to further create a secure fit; specific to the bottle you are using it on. 
Like all of Alpha Security bottle locks, easy application and removal are key to customer satisfaction and employee compliance rates. The clear cap makes it easy to read bottle label and tax information.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase EASy Bottle bottle locks by Alpha Security and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system.

Cable Lok Vs. Mini Cable Lok- Clothing Security Tags

September 2, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Getting the right product for your clothing security can be just as easy as comparing to very similar clothing security tags. Two such products are the Alpha Security Cable Lok and the Alpha Security Mini Cable Lok.
Both of these clothing security tags have the following features:
• 7×7 strand aircraft grade cable 
• 95 dBA alarm 
• Flashing LED light 
• Isolated sound chamber 
• Easy to apply and remove 
• Tough, secure and reusable 
The 3 Alarm clothing alarm version partners perfectly with NanoGate® in addition to providing the following features:
EAS Protection: Activates EAS alarm if a breach occurs 
Early Detection: Alarms when merchandise is tampered with in store 
Extended Range: Self alarms if merchandise is removed from store
The difference between the two really comes down to size: the size of the lanyard and the size of the housing.
The Cable Lok has three sizes of lanyards- 6”, 48” and 72”. The Housing – 3.53”L x 1.62”W x 0.74”D 25 (8.97 cmL x 4.11 cmW x 1.88 cmD)
The Mini Cable Lok also has three sizes of lanyards, but they start at 3”, and then 48” and 72”. The Housing is slightly smaller as well – 2.60”L x 1.16”W x 0.80”D 25 (6.60 cmL x 2.95 cmW x 2.03 cmD) which works great for smaller items like shoes.

Don’t Hang Yourself- Anti Shoplifting

September 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When I worked security for a major home improvement retailer, we frequently had expensive saw blades stolen. These blades came with the absolute minimal plastic packaging possible. They were designed to merchandise the blades on a pegboard with the maximum shelf quantity. The only retail theft prevention came from a small EAS label that was easy to peel off the plastic packaging.
Our thieves knew that we had limited resources to stop shoplifting these saw blades. The end result was that we lost them both frequently and in large quantities. Shoplifters would clear an entire peg worth of blades in just one swift motion. That could be anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand dollar loss all at once.
It wasn’t until recently that there was a better anti shoplifting product that could help us with this particular problem. The Alpha Security Alpha Spider Web’s unique multi-strand steel cable mesh bag presents an excellent visual deterrent.  The Alpha Spider Web still allows for open merchandising while providing anti shoplifting. Spider Webs provide breakthrough security for even the most irregular-shaped packages.
Had we had access to the Alpha Spider Web anti shoplifting devices, we never would have lost the thousands of dollars annually to shoplifters stealing our saw blades.

Mark It Down- Retail Anti Theft Devices

September 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
A common retail practice when selling just about anything is to mark down merchandise for a quicker sale. By marking down merchandise, it helps the retailer recoup at least minimal margin dollars on these items while clearing inventory for new products. The exception is for miss- mates caused by a lack of retail anti theft devices.
Earrings, and similar jewelry sold in pairs, are faced with a specific problem of being separated from its mate. It is actually pretty easy for an earring to get lost in a store setting. Customers can get pairs of earring tangled trying to take one off of a rounder or peg hook. They can take them off the jewelry cards and accidentally drop one. Sometimes someone who has an uneven number of piercing and doesn’t want to pay for a full set can steal them.
Regardless of how it happened, retailers are left with the same problem of what to do with the remaining earring. Since the half a set can’t be sold at full price, a markdown is generally taken. These marked down earrings are rarely successful in being sold. It is a last chance effort on recovering some money instead of taking it as a total loss.
The Alpha Security Alpha Jewel Lok is a locking mechanism that protects the merchandise, not the packaging. These locks affix to the posts of the earrings, preventing removal from the jewelry card. The Alpha Jewel Lok keeps the pairs together, preventing the need to prematurely mark down pairs of earrings. 
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.
