The other day I was walking through a certain retail sporting goods store when I came across a display of football jerseys. I had to stop and consider the display, not because I liked the team, or the colors, or even the price offered, but because of how ridiculous the jerseys looked while being festooned with four retail anti-theft devices A PIECE.
You did not read that last sentence wrong. Each piece of clothing had an Alpha 2 Alarm, an Alpha 3 Alarm, an Alpha Shark Tag, and an Alpha Fashion2 attached at various points of the garment. Just by looking at them I could tell it would be near impossible for any customer to try on any of the jerseys without being bludgeoned into a coma by the amount of devices.
I believe that if you have that many retail anti-theft devices on a piece of clothing you might have a few issues in your company. First of all, you need to look at moving your store out of that neighborhood if the need to prevent shoplifting is THAT severe. Secondly, your Loss Prevention or merchandising team has no idea how to properly attach devices to product. Or, finally, you just have too many excess devices and no reasonable idea what to do with them.
Here’s some advice; research each anti-theft device BEFORE ordering it. That way you will know what can fit your company needs so your customers can try on the clothing and find out what fits them.
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.
