Let The Tides Roll In- Alpha Security

August 25, 2014 by Leave a Comment
High Efficiency laundry detergent is a high theft item in almost any store, in any market that carries it. The soap is expensive compared to its non-efficiency counterparts, but more importantly, it is used in making drugs. Because of its necessity in this illegal activity, dealers generally are more likely to steal it than to pay for it. So how do you prevent shoplifting such an irregular product?
Laundry bottles are hard plastic, curved and relatively heavy. EAS labels can be peeled off the outside, and would damage the contents if affixed to the inside. Straight pin EAS tags have nowhere to go, and puncturing the bottle would cause it to leak- spoiling the soap inside.
There are Alpha Security retail anti theft devices that are designed more for clothing security than detergent, but work surprisingly well. The Alpha 2 Alarm and Alpha 3 Alarm Cable Loks have a secured loop that wraps around the bottle’s handle. The Alpha 2 Alarm functionality will sound when the Cable Lok is tampered with, and the Alpha 3 Alarm version sounds directly from the Cable Lok, and not just the EAS door towers.
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 Good Start- Criminal Background Checks

August 25, 2014 by
A majority of employees who are caught stealing confess to their first theft incident within the first year of their employment. These employees can be discouraged because they feel trapped in a job they thought would be better than what it actually is. They can feel like they were misled in the interview process about how great the business is. Without pre employment screening to evaluate an employee’s potential for on the job performance other issues like theft are more apt to occur.
Employees can feel slighted over job promotions they do not get, or working harder than more tenured employees. Sometimes employees apply for jobs at businesses they know they can steal from, and start their thefts on day one. All of which are justifications for an employee to steal from their employer.
All of those situations are more avoidable by using pre employment screening criminal background checks. The checks are designed to show work history, previous theft issues, criminal arrests, and validations of educational backgrounds.
Coincidentally, for many small businesses, the average length of employment for their non-management positions is also about one year. When there are only a few short months between an employee’s hire date and their first incident of theft, having the right people in place from day one becomes increasingly critical. There is not an extended amount of time that you can hire someone and then find out what a criminal background check will uncover.
In those twelve short months, many things can happen – both good and bad. Since that length of time is so short, conducting pre employment screening and criminal background checks is absolutely essential.

A High Rate Of Return- Wardrobing Retail

August 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Having products like wardrobing tags gives a better determining factor between a customer who is returning multiple items legitimately, and one who is wardrobing retail. In other words, they are purchasing clothing items and have no intention of keeping them after they have worn them.
More research is showing that a larger majority of loyal customers actually have a higher return velocity or rate of return. For a retailer to primarily rely on return velocity as a basis to accept or deny a return/ refund puts that retailer at risk for offending one of their best, and most legitimate customers.
This is due in part to the level of comfort a customer has in spending their money with a particular retailer. If they know they can take the time to find exactly what they want, they will come back. 
Sometimes customers want to try on items in their own home. Mother’s of young or multiple children find it difficult to wrestle everyone into a fitting room and keep them calm long enough to actually try on and evaluate a clothing purchase. It is easier to buy several items that look like they might work out and try them on at home where they have the space and the time to do so. 
Maybe they need to compare clothing styles and colors to items already in their wardrobe. It can be difficult to remember exactly what you have in your closet and then try to find an exact fit for a new piece. Both scenarios happen frequently and can contribute to a high return rate. 
Both scenarios however will benefit from using wardrobing tags to show an employee that these frequent or large returns are indeed legitimate and should be honored appropriately with their refunds.

Pin It On- Alpha Jewel Lok

August 22, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Alpha Security has a new addition to their Alpha Jewel Lok line of retail anti theft devices. This new lock is designed specifically for collectable or high priced pins. 
Just as with other kinds of jewelry, collectable pins are not immune to theft. Up until Alpha Security developed and released the Alpha Jewel Lok to prevent shoplifting, there were very minimal security solutions. Most of them involved an EAS label affixed to the jewelry card that was relatively easy to peel off and defeat.
The Alpha Jewel Lok is a successful solution, not just because the locks give maximum product and benefit denial, but because they are a great merchandising solution.  The low profile of the lock has a minimal impact on merchandising space. The cards will still fit on the existing spinner racks or peg hooks without reducing the inventory count within the space.
The lock also can’t be seen from the front of the card. That makes customers happy because they can look and feel every detail of the pins, and the vendor’s branding is not negatively impacted. The EAS components are still active within these small design retail anti theft devices.

You Can’t Take It With You- Alpha 3 Alarm

August 19, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Shoplifters are continually trying to beat the system. Retailers are continually trying to beat the shoplifters, and so the cycle goes. Each time a shoplifter develops a new plan, there are new retail anti theft devices to thwart them.  Unfortunately, every time there are new tools to prevent shoplifting, shoplifters begin to find ways to defeat them.
As a result of this cycle, Alpha Security has come up with a different approach to prevent shoplifting. They developed the Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices. This is an EAS tag with an extra deterrent for shoplifting.
A 1 alarm EAS tag will create an audible alarm from the door pedestals, if a tag passes through the doors without being deactivated first. Shoplifters can tamper with the tags to defeat them, or they might risk setting off the alarm and leaving with the merchandise anyway.
An Alpha 2 Alarm takes care of half the problem. The second part of the alarm is an audible directly from the EAS tag if the tag is tampered with.
The Alpha 3 Alarm takes the first two parts and adds an audible alarm directly from the EAS tag if the tag passes through the doors without being deactivated.
No longer can shoplifters take their stolen product with them without being heard everywhere they go.

Change Your Hiring Practices- Employee Background Checks

August 18, 2014 by
Many companies are successfully reducing the number of unwanted applications they need to sort through to hire for an open position within their company. An unwanted application is one that the applicant is embellishing their experience or education, padding their resume, or flat out declining (or denying) to disclose pertinent information like a criminal history.
In order to decrease these unwanted applications, companies, both large and small are starting change their hiring practices, starting by rewording their applications.
Somewhere on the application, whether it is computerized or on paper, there is wording stating that the job requires a through check to be conducted before final approval to be hired. Next is a signature line for the applicant to authorize the check to be completed.
What major hiring companies and managers are finding is that significant quantities of questionable applicants are declining to turn in their applications.
They know that they have potential red flags in their history that they do not want to come up. Instead of completing the application, they move on to the next business that does not require a background check.
In the meantime, you are left with fewer overall applications to sort through. Of those remaining applications, you are left with better overall applicants. 
They are more honest about any previous criminal activity, previous work history, and can actually validate their education and degrees earned. They are not afraid of any background or criminal screenings because they have nothing to hide.

Discard the Merchandise – Alpha 3 Alarm

August 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When a shoplifter feels like they have been caught, they can do a number of things, from running away, fighting, or even discarding the merchandise. When we look for solutions to prevent shoplifting, we look for ways to let the shoplifter feel like they have been caught.
Ultimately, we are trying to get the shoplifter to discard our merchandise without further incident. Trying to make a detention can be problematic, and can end up costing more money and resources if the case is pushed through the court system for prosecution.
When we employ Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices as part of our strategy, we are creating a situation where the shoplifters benefit by discarding the product on their own. 
When the shoplifter leaves the store with an Alpha Security Alpha 3 Alarm protected product, the exit doors alarm, so do the actual retail anti theft devices attached to the merchandise. Even if the shoplifter continues to leave with the merchandise, there is an audible alarm on the product- making it impossible for the shoplifter not to be noticed.
They will discard the product, which allows the retailer to follow the sound until they find and retrieve the merchandise. All without further incident or risk of conflict.

Looking Ahead- Clothing Security

August 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Confronting a shoplifter takes more than just responding to a clothing alarm and throwing out a wild accusation. It takes actual knowledge of the crime being committed. An accusation that has no truth to it can result in a wrongful detainment lawsuit from the accused, costing an enormous sum of money and time.
Confronting or detaining a shoplifter takes an intimate knowledge of the crime. That means you have to personally witness the event. You have to know one hundred percent, undeniably, that the clothing the person has is yours, and they intended to steal it.
One of the parts of recovering the merchandise during the initial detainment is to make sure the shoplifter knows you have complete knowledge of their actions. That usually includes you stating “ I know you have Item A hidden in your bag (pocket, purse, coat, etc)”. By stating the exact item and the exact location the item was concealed, you have proven your knowledge of their theft attempt.
While some of the larger companies have access to RFID tags as a part of their clothing security, smaller business still have to rely on being an actual eyewitness to determine which specific pieces of merchandise have been concealed.
If dedicating that kind of time to reduce shoplifting losses just isn’t plausible for you, security tags on clothes are an effective deterrent. They stop losses before they even begin.

Rise In The Cost of Goods- Internal Theft

August 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I had an internal theft situation where the employee was taking cash at the end of her shift almost every night. She would search through the journal tape to find cash transactions that had happened earlier in the day. Then she would refund a few of those transactions, and keep the cash. 
It wasn’t until we noticed an increase in our cost of goods that we started to see all of the refunds for cash. She had become so comfortable, that she would refund a few hundred dollars every shift that she worked causing thousands of dollars in losses.
When employees devise complex or elaborate schemes to cover their tracks, it makes it far more difficult to pinpoint the exact losses that are occurring. There is rarely a shortage in the cash till that shows up as a red flag. Sometimes the cash theft actually leaves an overage in the drawer.
These internal theft cases are ones that eventually get caught but only after they have become so comfortable in their theft that their methods begin to show up on our radar screens.
If you suspect that an employee is stealing cash from you, an employee theft investigation should be started as soon as possible. Cash theft can quickly escalate if it is not detected and resolved as soon as possible.

Make Your Employee’s Lives Easier- Retail Anti Theft Devices

August 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment
As business owners and managers, we understand the correlation between an employee’s productivity and their overall work- life happiness. As an employer, we often find ourselves going out of our way to make their lives easier to make them happier- hopefully making them more engaged and loyal employees. It doesn’t cross our minds that an employee’s happiness can also prevent shoplifting.
Even one of the world’s premier developers of retail anti theft devices, Alpha Security, will readily admit that their products are only as good as the employees who use them. 
If you are going to use retail anti theft devices as a shoplifting deterrent, they will only be effective if the devices actually make it onto the merchandise. They will do no good left in a box in the stockroom. It takes employees to attach the devices onto the merchandise.
When an employee is happy and engaged in their job, they are more likely to commit their time to seemingly mundane tasks like EAS tagging and compliance. A happy employee will go above and beyond to ensure the tagging is done correctly, and to the completion level you are looking for.
