Keep A Watchful Eye- Clothing Security

July 17, 2014 by Leave a Comment
During a recent loss prevention consultation with a local clothing store, we knew we needed to have some ways to identify what kinds of thefts were taking place, and what kinds of clothing protection would be effective to stop the inventory losses for happening.
We started by taking a look at the store’s sales reports. We broke the sales down by departments and compared them to last month’s sales and last year’s. We noticed which departments were behind on their sales goals for the year, and which ones did not increase compared to last year. 
I explained that if they did not have the right products to sell, then they would not have a chance at meeting or exceeding their sales goals.
Next we looked for signs of theft- specifically for torn of clothing tags. We found several caches of them behind the mirrors in the fitting rooms. We also found them under some shelves in an unattended corner of the store.
One of the most basic solutions was to start using electric article surveillance tags and devices to protect the inventory from theft. Next we put a seal of caulk around the fitting room mirrors, preventing the thieves from sticking price and clothing tags behind them.
Lastly, we moved the tables around to open up the back corner. Now, even when an employee can’t physically be back in that corner, they can still keep a watchful eye from the front of the store.
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.

Beyond The Criminal Element- Criminal Background Checks

July 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment
If you have hired a background check company to execute your pre employment screening, you are assuming that they will be able to track down every little tidbit of information that they can.
For the most part, you are right. If it is a rather egregious offense, the basic criminal background checks or common credit checks should discover them. However, there are lesser offenses that are just as criminal, but do not show up on criminal background checks.
No matter how thorough a background check company is, they can only discover so much, based on which reports they are searching.
You might assume, for example, that an employee that is caught stealing at their previous employer will automatically appear on criminal background checks. This is not always the case. An employee must be given the chance to prove their innocence in a court of law. If they are convicted and found guilty by those courts, then- and only then- will their crimes be committed to public record.
If a company does not prosecute- for whatever reason- an employee’s misdoings will not become public record, therefore not appearing on criminal background checks.
Background check companies must then do additional employment verifications or search agencies that document employee theft cases. They may charge an additional cost to potential employers to do these additional searches. Depending on the quality of the employees you hire on a regular basis, this may end up being money well spent- compared to hiring a known thief.

Using The Tools Wisely- Alpha Nano Gate

July 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Do you really need retail anti theft devices throughout your entire store? For some small businesses, the answer is no. They may be looped into the expense of trying to prevent shoplifting throughout the entire square footage because they are not aware that there are small effective and cost efficient alternatives.
The Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate is just such a retail anti theft device. Say you have a general merchandise store that has a small area built in for electronics like GPS or mobile phones. Since these are items that you do not want to have floating around on their own, you have made a type of store in store location for them.
By installing an Alpha Nano Gate on specifically for this in store location, you only have to use the Alpha 3 Alarm on these high theft items. If anyone passes by the Alpha Nano Gate with an Alpha 3 Alarm tagged product, the audible alarm will activate and the product’s location can be found.
This saves the money needed to purchase and maintain the big Checkpoint towers by the exit doors, and puts your retail anti theft devices only where they are needed.
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.
For more information on how you can use Alpha Security retail anti-theft devices and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system to prevent shoplifting contact us or call 1.770.426.0547

Is This A Joke- Alpha Shark Tags

July 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment
What is black and white and red all over? No, it is not a newspaper. It is clarity of your store’s return policy against consumer wardrobing when you use the red Alpha Shark Tags on your special occasion clothing.
One of the best ways to implement a change of policy is to make sure your intentions are clear- make them black and white. When you start to use wardrobing tags, you want to make sure your employees and your customers are clear form the start as to what they are and what they are used for.
Wardrobing tags are plastic clamps that affix to the front of a garment. There is usually a pin that clamps the two sides together securely. Because this is not an anti shoplifting device, the consumer can easily remove the tag with a pair of household scissors.
It is important that the consumer knows these tags are there for one reason only: to stop wardrobing. The consumer also needs to know that if the tag is removed, it will be unable to be reattached. If the tag is removed, the retailer can use its discretion to reject a return even if it is within the store’s receipted return policy.
The best way to ensure the consumer knows this policy is to verbally tell them at the point of sale. The Alpha Shark Tag can also attach a paper copy of the return and wardrobing policy to the garment to further ensure communication with the consumer.

How Much is Too Much? – Clothing Security

July 11, 2014 by Leave a Comment
How much is too much? When you are merchandising and stocking in your departments, traditionally you want to fill the shelves and the racks as much as you can. It is usually discouraged to have things in a back stockroom. How does this play into clothing security? Can there be too much product on the sales floor?
If you have theft issues, than yes, you can have too much product out. Thieves will take every opportunity you give them. If you put out every piece of high theft merchandise, do not be surprised if the thieves actually take every piece.
Clothing security actually goes beyond just putting clothing security tags on your merchandise. It involves taking a second look at the opportunities your store presents. Can you reduce your shelf quantities and not make a negative impact on your sales? If so, do it. Take those items and back stock them.
By giving your store a different approach to theft prevention than just using Checkpoint tags, you will be better off. Reducing your shelf quantity is just another enhancement to your clothing security.
The right way is to look at your current sales and make a determination if you can make the reductions. If you sell multiples of an item and need a large representation of this item, don’t sacrifice your sales through a shelf quantity reduction. However, those situations are generally more of an exception than a rule.
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.

Online or Mail Order Returns- Alpha Shark Tag

July 11, 2014 by Leave a Comment
The wave of the future used to be plastics. Now the wave of the future is in online presence. Even if you haven’t started a website yet, it might not be long before you start to explore the options of being an online retailer. Alpha Shark Tag will help with the transition.
The biggest benefit to being an online retailer is the labor hours involved. Your customers are not in the store, there is minimal employee interaction, and a greater transaction dollar amount due to the 100% credit card usage (versus cash).
The down side, in particular with clothing, is that it is harder to determine if a customer has worn the clothing they purchased before they returned it. Obviously, the customer will have to try the item on for fit once they receive it, but did they wear it out on the town?
By using the Alpha Security Alpha Shark Tag on your mail order/ online orders, you allow the customer to try the product on, but have a better answer for whether the item was used before it was returned, or if it was simply tried on for size.
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.

Business Success Through Good Advice- Loss Prevention Workshop

July 9, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Everyone has that one person in their lives that they look up to and frequent for insight and advice. This person is usually experienced, wizened and has seen enough of the world to have a different, and useful perspective on any given situation. 
These are the mentors we rely on for advice in our love lives, financial matters, and other personal questions. We also need to have a mentor for our business to be successful. A mentor like this is particularly important when it comes to loss prevention and store security. 
The business acumen needed for these areas can’t easily be learned simply from reading up on the topics. 
Having a mentor, especially one that has personally encountered many of the potential security situations, helps you become that much more knowledgeable. This is because an experienced mentor can more fully explain the nuances and pros and cons of certain actions to further improve store security and reduce shoplifting losses. 
This will be far better than anything you can get from a manual computer based learning scenario alone. Sometimes there are just two many exceptions that can arise to give a simple textbook, black and white answer. An experienced mentor can help work through many of those exceptions to get you the right answers.

Not A Replacement- Prevent Shoplifting

July 8, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Alpha Shark Tags are frequently lumped into the category of retail anti theft devices. This is mostly due to being made by Alpha Security who specializes in solutions to prevent shoplifting. The other is because there is a very limited niche that they belong in. The end result is that they are considered a form of retail anti theft devices.
It is important for the actual retailers to understand their role in the process and also that they are not an actual retail anti theft device in the traditional sense of the term.
 What the Alpha Shark Tags do is to prevent a form of return fraud called wardrobing. Compared to EAS tags, which are designed to be removed by the cashier at the point of sale, these tags do the exact opposite.
They are meant to be left on after the point of purchase and the customer is instructed how to remove them at home. Only after a customer is sure that they want to keep the items should they remove the tags. They may be rejected for a return if the tag removed.

A Personal Touch- Employee Background Checks

July 8, 2014 by
The computer application process eliminates the personal touch given by one on one interaction. Unfortunately, because these computerized applications don’t evaluate personalities, red flags and warning signs about an applicant are often overlooked. Pre employment screening is needed to help fill in the blanks.
If you are using an online process, computerized applications request most of the needed information to complete pre employment screening; it should be a simple process to have one done. 
By adding a sign line allowing a request authorization to do the 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 easy to do quick employee background checks at the time the application is handed in. 
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. 
The best ways to do these kinds of informal employee background checks are to create forms with these kinds of questions. Have the form available for all employees to use. It should be kept with the applications. That way as an application is handed in; someone can go through the questionnaire, giving a personal account of the applicant before they are brought in for the next step in the hiring process.

Leaving Soon -Internal Theft

July 7, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Internal theft cases are much harder to prosecute and recover money from if the employee has left the company. Many judges will view this sort of employee theft investigation as a form of retaliation due to the employees notice to leave the company. The question arises as to why it took so long to resolve the employee theft investigation, and why the owners waited so long to get one started, even when they had suspicions for a length of time before the employee was to leave.
Take, for example, the small business owner that was talking to me about his concerns with one of his employees. There were major discrepancies with his store bank accounts and his accounts receivable never seemed to balance out. 
He suspected that something wasn’t right, and there was only one employee who was responsible for those accounts. Even though he didn’t outright say the words, he hinted that he was concerned about internal theft.
This employee was leaving the company and then moving across the country. They had been planning this move for about six or seven months at this point, and had just a few short weeks left. 
Even though this owner had suspected for a while that internal theft was going on, he just now wanted to do something about it. I let him know that whatever he decided to do, he needed to do it quickly. Not only is it harder to prosecute, but the employee (if they were stealing) had not been stopped sooner, reducing the amount of loss the company was incurring.
