Not All Clothing Security Tags Are Equal, But They Are Necessary. Get Informed!

It is truly amazing what you can find on the internet. It seems like you can find a how-to-video on anything you want to learn to do or fix on the internet. My husband and I are not very handy when it comes to fixing things or diagnosing problems, but I will tell you I have found some good information by doing a web search. We have managed to fix our television, our washer, our garbage disposal and various other things. I have learned how to do small home projects, make crafts, sewing Halloween costumes and even new dinner recipes. Anything you want to know is literally at your fingertips. Although, having technology and information readily available isn’t always a positive thing. I have learned that you can find out how to do a lot of bad things on the internet as well. Being in loss prevention and law enforcement, I tend to look for things on the internet that can assist people with circumventing the law, or personal stories on how to get around security or other loss prevention protections. I think it is important to understand how people are managing to get around certain protections so you can better protect your interests. For example, when I search clothing theft several how-to-videos come up that show you how to remove hard tags from clothing, to help people steal property from retailers. I think with anything, there are always going to be people out there that will go to great lengths to try and get something for nothing, which is why clothing security is so important. I wonder what these people could truly do if they put their minds to something productive. Reviewing this type of information and tutorials has helped me realize how important it is to equip my stores with quality clothing security tags, to prevent these types of breaches in our security program.  

If you are in the clothing industry, you know how important it is to have security tags on clothes. Clothing has become a lucrative market, due to increases in clothing production and transportation costs, making clothing security a priority. Designer clothes are a high pilferage item, which makes it imperative to protect these items from theft. Quality clothing security tags provide a deterrent to shoplifters and should be used on your high valued items. These tags are equipped with EAS technology, which sounds an alarm when someone attempts to remove the tag in the store, alerting associates to the attempted theft. This prevents someone from removing the items with a magnet or other device without detection. The EAS system also prevents the shoplifter from removing the clothing from the store. Clothing security tags are deactivated by the cashier at the time of sale, thus preventing breaches in security, and can be re-used multiple times. This allows for a secure, cost-efficient means to protect your property, without detracting from the shopping experience. When you use quality security tags on clothes, you can sleep well knowing you will not be a victim of theft.

Clothing security is a top priority in my stores, due to high theft rates. I have learned through experience and failures that you get what you pay for. That’s why I always choose quality clothing security tags that offer electronic article surveillance, so I can ensure that my property is properly protected, and that a simple how-to-video does not offer a means to circumvent my security efforts. If you are not protecting yourself, by placing security tags on clothes in your store, you are setting yourself up for failure. Be sure to choose a quality tag to ensure you are getting a product that will truly protect your interests, decrease overhead, and increase profits.
