It is getting personal

Do you need a better way to protect your personal care items? I know that we have seen an influx of shoplifters trying to steal personal and beauty care items. I guess it is because the summer is here and everyone wants to look his or her best in their summer attire.

 That doesn’t mean that they should be able to get away with stealing, it just means that we have to find a way to tighten our retail security. Most anti shoplifting processes start with anti theft devices.

 If you have access to rolls of cheap labels, it is easy to add them on the fly. If you start to notice certain items disappearing from your shelves without corresponding sales, slap an EAS label on them.

 If the thieves move on to a different item or product assortment, then start tagging those also. It may not provide the permanent solution for your shrink, but it will buy you some time to figure out a better solution for those items.

 Anything you can do to make it harder for a shoplifter, the more results you will see.

The obvious solution

Have you seen the Value point and value point plus cheap labels yet? If not, definitely go and check them out. I just got my free samples of them and they are pretty amazing.

 I was showing the selection to one of my store managers, and he saw that one of the labels was already printed saying, “Security device enclosed”. He was unsure as to why an anti theft device would be so obvious. He thought they should be hidden and secretive.

 We talked about how retail security isn’t always about the “gotcha” aspect. It is often about prevention. By having a label state that it is in fact a security device designed specifically for anti shoplifting, it is trying to be a warning.

 It is obvious that the inventory is under surveillance and protection. If a potential criminal knows that this piece of merchandise, or this store is not an easy target, they area more likely to move onto the next target. Some of them won’t even steal at all.

 Sometimes it takes an obvious solution to an obvious problem.

I had a shoplifter come in over the weekend and tried on some shirts in the fitting room. I had started my surveillance on her because she came in and quickly selected the maximum amount of clothes you can try on in the fitting rooms.

 She didn’t really seem to care about what she picked up; she just started laying things over her arm and headed off to a fitting room stall.

 After she was done, she was obviously wearing one of our shirts. You didn’t need to work in clothing security to realize that the tag was hanging out of the collar of her shirt.

 The other tell tale sign was the anti theft device still attached at the bottom hem of the shirt. She tried to cover it up by clenching her arm tight against the tag, but it only made her seem more obvious, and more awkward as she walked to the door.

 When we stopped her, she desperately tried to convince us that the shirt she was wearing was indeed hers. After one of the employees came out with her old shirt, she knew it was best to give it up.

Simplified Retail Security…

I am often amazed at how complex we as business leaders tend to make things.  In an effort to always do more and do it better we sometimes just overcomplicate proven processes.  Take retail security for example.  I am amazed at how many different providers there are of anti-shoplifting tools.  Last I checked all EAS tags were created equally. 

 Think about it.  It is the same technology.  Whether you get name brand EAS tags or you get cheap tags you will still be preventing loss by protecting your product.  Anti-theft devices are unnerving for most shoplifters.  Most major studies show that the overwhelming offender is an amateur.  This type of shoplifter only knows one thing; anti-theft devices will get you caught.  If they don’t care whose name is on the tag then why do we?  Why pay for a name brand tag when cheap tags and cheap labels still deter theft.  When you consider switching to less expensive equipment you will still deter theft and save on expenses.  I think that’s called a win-win situation.

Unidentified Flying Object

Anti theft devices that we used to use for the clothing security on our store’s clothes were given the nickname of UFOs. We used to call them UFOs because the shape looked like a tiny flying saucer. The larger half that was attached to the pin was a hard plastic disk with a little sphere in the middle giving it the look of some sci fi miniature.

 Now there are so many different sizes and shapes that the UFO is almost a thing of the past. The traditional UFO shape, while still available, has given way to sleeker, more modern appearances in anti theft devices.

 While the alarm pedestals at the doors still easily detect the tags, they are generally much smaller in size. Both the overall width and thicknesses have decreased making it much more aesthetically pleasing for the shoppers.

 The smaller design also helps the customer try on clothes without the bulky tag getting in their way. This makes for one less customer complaint to arise when trying to make a sale.

Your time is your money

Do you really need to tag every piece of clothes that comes into your inventory? The reality is, probably not. Some things are just not a high theft item. Sure you can use anti theft devices on all of your merchandise to increase your clothing security. I doubt it will really help you reduce your shrink, though.

 It is a matter of evaluating your individual company or store needs. When I was working in high-end fashion, basics (like socks and underwear) were not high theft items.

 When I worked at the farther end of the spectrum in general merchandise, packaged socks and underwear, in name brands, were high theft items.

 Here I spent time adding in EAS labels to increase the clothing security. It paid off in the end because we did see a reduction in shrink losses in that product group after the labels had been added.

 Spend your time wisely because time is money. The time you spend tagging unnecessary items is money lost.

Change it up

How cool is it to be able to change things on a whim. Any time the seasons change, we can change clothes. If we want to go with a new hairstyle, go for it! The power of choice gives us the power to adapt as needed.

Retail security in the form of anti theft devices also gives us the power of change. Any time our products change, we can either start a new tagging process, or stop an existing one. Seeing a spike in shrink losses in a different area? That’s an easy fix too. 

Anti shoplifting devices are designed to be adaptable. That is why hard tags are easy to attach as needed, and soft tags or labels can be applied to almost any surface or material. 

Because the soft tags or labels can be run through a thermal printer, they can even be disguised as bar codes or price labels to fit your specific range of products.

 There is no need to let your retail security grow stagnate. Just change it up as you change out your products.

Try It Before You Buy It

I don’t know why, but I hate fitting rooms. Even after all these years of working in retail and knowing what a pain it is to have to take back a refund, I would still rather try on clothes in the privacy of my own home.

 The downside is that I have to be very careful of which stores I shop at because some do not accept refunds, and some only give back merchandise credit on returns. If I am returning something that I didn’t like after I tried it on, I would rather not be stuck with that item.

 That is one of the biggest draws I had to being able to request a free sample of anti theft devices from RBC. I can check them out in the privacy of my office without some pushy salesman popping their head in on me every five seconds.

 It gives me that time to think and inspect the product so I know that I made the right decision with getting my cheap tags and cheap labels from RBC for my clothes.

Two Sides To Every Story

Just like there are two sides to every story, there are also two sides to every EAS tag. These anti theft devices, designed to enhance your retail security, come with two separate and distinct sides.

 There is the pin side of the EAS tag. It looks and acts just like it sounds like it should. It is a metal pin attached to a plastic end. The pin pierces the item to be tagged, and is fitted into the hole in the larger, plastic tag side.

 This piece is actually two separate pieces fused together. Inside is the actual EAS tag component that sets the alarms off if it is not deactivated prior to leaving the store.

 Even in the cheap tags you want to make sure you have a relatively seamless construction within this side of the anti theft device.

 If you don’t shoplifters, can easily pry that piece apart to eliminate the tag within. This would allow them to escape with the merchandise undetected and then removing the rest of the pin at their convenience.

Help Put the Shoe on the Other Foot with Anti-Theft Devices

While working as a Loss Prevention agent for a clothing retailer, our shoes were literally walking out the door…on the feet of shoplifters. Our daily routine included visits to our office by associates from the shoe department who found a box containing dirty and worn footwear that someone decided to swap out with our merchandise. We tried to watch the cameras for the shoe aisles as often as we could to try to detect if any customers were displaying indicators that revealed their intention to make off with our shoes. Alas, it turned out that there were too many footwear thieves and too little LP employees for detainments to tighten up our retail security in the shoe department.

 The loss to the department and store was so devastating that my employer realized the need to invest in anti-shoplifting tags to prevent this problem from getting the best of us. Immediately the efficacy of the anti-theft devices became apparent, when at first the amount of shoe swap outs halted completely. 

However, within a week certain shoplifters came prepared with cutting tools to defeat the tags. On the other hand, the time it took to try to remove the sensor prolonged the thief’s time in the store and it was a pretty noticeable activity. In addition, when we arrested these equipped individuals the police often charged them with burglary because of the instrument in their possession.

 Best of all, the utilization of these tags helped us keep retail security in my store under control and the number of shoe swap outs was decreased by more than seventy-five percent. The anti-theft devices helped us stop dishonest customers from effortlessly walking countless miles in our shoes for free.
