Not Quite The Right Size- Alpha Spider Wrap

October 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment
On a recent consultation, I was talking to a small business owner who wanted to add colognes and fragrances to their product assortments. They thought it would be a great way to increase their ticket averages, and not needing significant retail space to merchandise the product effectively. The question was which of the Alpha Security products to use.
This particular group of stores was already using the Alpha Security Alpha Spider Wrap to secure several of their other boxed products. What they wanted to know was if they could use the same Alpha Spider Wrap to protect the boxes of fragrances. Since the wraps are designed for boxes, the business wanted to save some money by using the retail anti theft devices that they already had in stock.
Even though it sounds like it should work, I cautioned against it. The Alpha Spider Wraps are much bigger than what will work effectively for these small boxes.
I recommended using the Alpha Security Keeper Boxes. There are several styles to choose from, and the Keeper Boxes are designed specifically to prevent shoplifting of fragrances and cologne products.
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.

A Two Part System- Clothing Security Tags

October 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment
In order for clothing security to be effective, you have to have a certain level of quality in your security resources and tools. I had a camera system once that spent more time waiting for a service tech to come fix it, than I did actually using the system. I ended up not relying on those cameras because I didn’t want to have to need them and then find out they weren’t working. 
It was a cheap system that had been pieced together over the years. It wasn’t until we upgraded to a total camera system package did I truly feel I could rely on the cameras as part of my clothing security system.
The same thing goes with our clothing security tags. I have seen some retailers use cheaply made, and cheaply sold, clothing security tags. Boy, do these not work well for anything. If I was to look closely at the tags, I could see the actual seam in the middle of the hard shell. On some of them, the seam was actually breaking apart. 
Any shoplifter with an ounce of persistence could easily pry the two sides apart with a screwdriver or other tool. Once the two sides are pried apart, the shoplifter has access to the inner locking mechanism, which is what holds the pin in place on your clothing. Once the pin is removed, the clothing security tags are rendered completely ineffective.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase Checkpoint Tags, a Clothing Alarm, Clothing Security or Clothing Security Tags to put Security Tags on Clothes and an Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system.

This Is How It Starts- Employee Theft

October 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Most recruiters and hiring managers will tell you with an overwhelming response that the single biggest reason why employees come to them for a new position, or a new job altogether, is because they feel underappreciated. 
When employees are not appreciated they will look for somewhere else to go. If their efforts are not being rewarded through praise or a raise they begin to question why they should even bother putting in the effort.
This is where most employees look at one of two options. They will either eliminate the position they are in through a lateral transfer, promotion, or leave the company entirely, or they will develop their own compensation for their troubles and hard work.
When employees begin to feel like they have been robbed out of other compensations for their hard work, they may devise a plan to compensate themselves. 
Some employees begin to steal time. They may start taking longer lunch breaks, leaving early or coming in late. They do not have the same loyalty and drive to be the best and their hours worked can start to reflect that change.
Others will begin to take with them company supplies, whether they need them or not. Extra pens, paper, can eventually escalate into company computers, tablets or other electronics.
Even more employees will steal cash or steal merchandise. They might take it directly, or hand the products off to friends or family.

Move The Marker Forward- Retail Anti Theft Devices

October 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Many retailers, in an effort to reduce operational expenses, have started to employ fewer full time employees and more part time workers. While this move makes initial financial sense for many small businesses, it does not always move the marker forward in the challenge to prevent shoplifting.
Part time employees might make for a better financial situation, but this is generally a case of you get what you pay for. Because part time employees are less likely to have guaranteed hours or might not be eligible for benefits, they are also less likely to be truly engaged in your business.
Retail anti theft devices are more likely to be used inconsistently when the responsibility falls onto part time employees. It is a tedious task of applying them, and then removing the retail anti theft devices during the check out process. They simply do not care if a customer is inconvenienced by an alarm or if they actually contribute to prevent shoplifting incidents.
While I am a firm believer that all employees need to be held to the same accountability and responsibility standards, it is critical to your business that full time or more engaged part time employees need to gate keep the process to ensure its success.

A Long Talk Over Coffee- Wardrobing

October 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment

 

I was at a local coffee shop this morning when I overheard the conversation at the next table. Two ladies were talking about the interview one of them had later. Next thing I knew, the conversation turned to wardrobing.
One of the ladies was expressing her disgust at the other coffee shop patrons who were walking to closely to her with their cups of coffee. She talked about how mad she would be if someone spilt even a drop of coffee on her new outfit.
At first I sympathized thinking that if I had bought a new outfit to impress a potential employer, I would not want to show up with coffee stains all over it. Then I realized that the lady was upset because she needed to keep the outfit nice so she could return it to the store the next day.
It actually made me pretty disgusted, and I wanted to “accidentally” spill my coffee on her, but what good would that do? The lady was so open about her wardrobing decision that this very clearly was not her first time doing so. Unfortunately, this also would not be her last.
Wardrobing retail was part of her lifestyle. It was just something she had done for so long, that she really didn’t see anything wrong with it.
As a retailer, it is our job not to try and change the perception of these customers. It is our job to eliminate the opportunity within our own store for wardrobing to take place.

Small Business Approved- Employee Background Checks

October 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
The Small Business Administration is an organization designed with the specific intention of assisting and guiding small businesses towards better longevity and profitability. They have many programs on a wide range of topics, including pre employment screening and employee background checks.
Employee background checks are highly recommended by the Small Business Administration. They realize that one of the most important factors in a small business’s success is its ability to hire and retain quality employees.
If a small business hires improperly, their chance of success are drastically reduce. A “bad” employee can do unending damage to a business. When customer service is lacking, the company’s image is hurt. Customer’s stop coming in, and word of mouth takes care of any remaining customers who may have contemplated shopping with you.
A step up from bad customer service is bad employee morale. Ever heard the phrase “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch”? It rings very true in retail. An employee that shows up late to work, doesn’t pull their weight, or disregards policy and procedure brings everyone down. Time is spent correcting their actions and playing damage control with the rest of the “good apples”.
These employee infractions can pale in comparison to the damage an employee can do if they are stealing from you. These employees can still turn away customers and fellow employees, in addition to causing financial disaster from cash theft, credit card fraud or inventory theft.
For these reasons, the Small Business Administration strongly encourages pre employment screening and employee background checks to reduce the likelihood of hiring a bad employee.
To purchase Pre-Employment Screening Services or for more information on background check experts, background checks, criminal background checks, employee background checks or pre employment screening contact us at the background check company or call 1.770.426.0547

Eliminate The Nest- Retail Anti Theft Devices

September 29, 2014 by Leave a Comment
We have all seen the signs of shoplifting safe havens. When you look under shelves, or tables you can find a mass of torn of price tags, or sometimes locate hoards of merchandise that a shoplifter is ferreting away to steal later on when they think the coast is clear. To prevent shoplifting from these back corners, you have to find a way to eliminate these kinds of shoplifter nests.
While the obvious solution is to open up these back corners and areas, it is not always practical (or physically possible) to try and remerchandise the entire store to eliminate them. Another, more practical solution is to use the Alpha Nano Gate. This retail anti theft device is designed to fit into small spaces, or back areas of a store that lend themselves to shoplifting nests.
Many shoplifters will seek out back areas like a bathroom or storage closet that they can sneak in and out of to conceal their intent to steal. It is there that they will create their nests of merchandise and attempt to defeat retail anti theft devices like soft and hard tags.
The Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate is a miniature EAS tower that attaches onto a wall or other stable spot. As a customer or shoplifter enters these back areas with tagged merchandise, an alarm will go off alerting staff to a potential theft issue in progress.
The Alpha Nano Gate also has a back up battery that will alarm if the tower is tampered with, to further prevent shoplifting in these corners.

Look The Other Direction- Internal Theft

September 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Internal theft, by ways of refund fraud, is hard to pinpoint because an employee theft investigation starts out as inventory losses, not as cash losses.
Here’s how it works: an employee who has access to conduct refunds selects items of merchandise for a fraudulent refund. The merchandise might be an item that is in the area because a customer refunded it earlier in the day. 
During employee theft investigations, we have also seen employees write down item numbers from merchandise that they want to refund for a specific reason. 
Maybe they know the item is below a certain dollar amount that won’t be researched. Perhaps it is an item that is shoplifted frequently, so the employee thinks any losses they create will be lumped in with the rest of the shoplifting losses.
However they pick the items to refund, the next step is the same. They will refund the item, forge any signatures that are required, and take the money that was refunded. 
It could be cash or a store credit, or even a refund back to his or her own credit card- depending upon what the POS system will allow them to do. Because the refund is processed through the POS, there will not be a drawer shortage to alert you to the fraud. Instead, you will see inventory losses as a direct result of the refund.
By researching internal theft from inventory losses, you might be able to follow the path back to their refunds.

A Different Back, A Different Lock- Alpha Jewel Lok

September 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Alpha Security Alpha Jewel Lok are hard to defeat locks that secure earrings onto the jewelry cards, preventing a shoplifter from easily stealing the merchandise. The three kinds of locks are for hoop earrings, stud earrings and French wire earrings. Each lock designed with the specific characteristics of each earring in mind.
The stud earring locks not only attach the earring to the jewelry card by securing the post on the back, but they also incorporate a “parking” area for the backs to be kept. As anyone who wears a stud earring knows, the back is just as essential as the actual earring is when you are wearing them.
The French wires attach onto the wire with a low profile design that cannot be seen from the front. This helps keep a better visual appearance for these often flashy or highly decorative earrings. Hoop earrings also need their own style of Alpha Jewel Loks. Just like the other two styles, the hoop posts are secured to the card from the back providing a secure deterrent from shoplifters.
Retail anti theft devices designed by Alpha Security to prevent shoplifting are very well thought out creating a simple and effective solution.
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.
