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.

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.

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.

What Is In Your Bag – Employee Theft

October 10, 2014 by Leave a Comment
An employee bag check is an operational control designed to reduce and eliminate employee theft. Employees are required to have their personal belongings searched prior to their leaving on a lunch break or at the end of their shift. Depending on the specific process outlined, an employee bag check can require multiple steps or parts to it.
The most basic bag check is that all employees have someone look in their personal bags and purses any time the employee leaves the store. This should include everyone, including managers. A closing manager should have another employee look in their bag before they leave. It is both a deterrent for the managers and leading by example. Having a manager’s bag checked shows that no one is beyond the reach of this policy.
Some companies order a clear purse for employees to use while at work.  It is another way to deter employee theft. Everyone can see exactly what is inside the bag from any angle. This may or may not work for your store. Some employees may feel like their privacy is violated because everyone, not just a manger, can see the employee’s personal items. These bags are also an additional expense that may cost you more than they are worth.
Along with just having an employee’s bag checked, purchases should also be checked against the receipt. Employees may be tempted to add additional items to their purchase after the transaction is done, thinking no one will question a bag of merchandise that they saw the employees pay for earlier in the shift.

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.

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.

Part Time Increase- Employee Background Checks

October 8, 2014 by
For the last few years, many retailers and other businesses have started a new hiring trend. Instead of hiring a balance of full time and part time employees, these companies are hiring more part time employees. Because these companies are looking to make less of an investment in these employees, many of them are hired without pre employment screening.
Hiring part time employees has many benefits for both small businesses and larger companies. It is easier to schedule several part time hours in a day, instead of having full time employees with longer shifts that might overlap in unnecessary times.  With shorter time requirements, it is easier to schedule more employees for a few hours at a time, when they are actually needed.
Part time employees do not need a guarantee of hours, so when business is slow, you can easily decrease your payroll. Many companies also do not offer benefits to part time employees, another huge financial impact.
The downside is that with no hour guarantees, and few to no benefits, many part time employees only do the absolute minimum work necessary to keep their jobs. Because of this lack of engagement, part time employees are also more likely to cause theft issues, or ignore shoplifters.
If pre employment screening and other employee background checks are not completed, the likelihood of part time employees causing losses becomes even greater.
Employee background checks might indicate which part time employees are most likely to be disengaged, and potentially cause losses to your business.

Out Of Control- Prevent Shoplifting

October 7, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Do you feel like you are slowly (or quickly) loosing control of your business? If your stores were once profitable, but now you are having unexplained decreases in profit, or revenue, you might be having a shoplifting problem.
Shoplifting is an extremely common problem that affects every retailer and shop at some point. Depending on how bad the theft is, how rapidly or how high of a dollar loss per incident, makes a difference in how fast you can respond to preventing theft.
Sometimes, when losses are of a small dollar per incident, it makes it harder to track or identify where the problem is coming from. You end up racking your brain to find out why your inventory numbers are off, or why revenue is starting to take a slight decrease.
If you are experiencing minimal shortages, it could take several months, or even a year to determine that theft is taking place. In that amount of time, all of the small losses add up to a bigger financial decrease. Preventing theft takes a look at ways to prevent even the smallest of losses before they become a big problem.
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.

Why Do We Need Protection? – Clothing Security

October 7, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Why do we need protection for our clothing inventory? Who is going to take our merchandise? These two questions come up frequently when I consult for small businesses that are not convinced that they need clothing security.
The first question is why? What they are really asking is why they should spend money on clothing security, when they might not actually need it. I answer them by explaining that clothing security is there for two reasons. One is to deter shoplifters from taking clothing and other items from your stores. The next is to stop the theft that might be taking place already, that you are not aware of.
Next we talk about who is going after clothing. Depending on what kind of clothing you carry, the attraction is different for specific kinds of shoplifters.
Some shoplifters are specifically looking for designer brands that they can resell easily on ebay, or in a flea market. Others are looking for personal usage of the merchandise. Whether they can’t afford, or simply don’t want to pay for new clothes, shoplifters often steal so they have something new to wear. Same thing goes for employees.
In any case, clothing security tags have been proven to reduce inventory shrink numbers by as much as 85 percent- more than what the cost of a system would be in most stores.
