Only sometimes

For plenty of retailers, sales are driven by special buys. These deep discount, one-time purchase items drive in customer traffic to encourage shopping in other areas of the store.

 Sometimes these special buys are a consumable. Sometimes, they are a one of a kind specialty item. Sometimes you need to have access to cheap tags and cheap labels to make sure your retail security is up to speed with these one-time displays of product.

 Because the draw a buyer has for a special buy piece of merchandise is the extremely low cost of goods, it may not make sense for the vendor to put in extra time or money into equipping them with anti theft devices.

 By not having these items EAS tagged, it can lead to more than just an inventory loss.  You can loose major sales and reputation by not having an advertised product available.

 There will surely be upset customers who made the trip into the store just for that item. To send them away empty handed will actually send them away with a bad taste in their mouths for your store. They will be less likely to make a trip again for any other sales.

Clothing Security, How does it look?

I’ve been in loss prevention for 10+ years so I know the purpose of having anti-theft devices on merchandise, but most of the general public think differently.  I think we’ve all been in a fitting room, trying to hide clothing security tags while looking in the mirror.  For that reason, most of my friends ask repeatedly why it’s necessary to go to such lengths to protect clothes. 

 As a retailer, it’s an easy choice; loose merchandise or tag it.  I’ve dealt with a variety of anti-theft devices such as Ultramax, RF, Cheap labels, Ink tags, Cheap tags, etc.  As loss prevention I want something that is going to keep clothes in the store, as a customer I want clothing security that doesn’t hinder the shopping experience.

 I swear by small anti-theft devices.  They are harder for shoplifters to defeat, easier for associates to remove at point of sale and not such an eye sore.  It’s all about finding that balance between keeping your clothes secure and keeping your customers happy.

Smoke and Mirrors

My teenage son and I went to our favorite BBQ joint for lunch. As we were walking in, he noticed the sign that had their slogan on it “All smoke and no mirrors”. He was a bit confused and couldn’t figure out why someone would cook BBQ with a mirror.

 I realized that he had grown up in the convincingly “real” world of computer animation and digital effects. He had no clue that magicians used smoke and mirrors to create the illusions for them to pull off their magic tricks.

 The last thing you want in your retail security is for the thieves to think your anti theft devices are all smoke and mirrors. Many stores used to have dummy domes and cameras to give the illusion of retail security.

 That only works for so long. Once the word gets out that they are just fakes, the shrink losses start to increase. Better to spend your time and energy with the real thing from the start. If you are using cheap tags and cheap labels, get the ones that are reliable and work properly every time.

The constant alarm

Does your clothing alarm go off constantly? Your employees are probably so numb to the sound that they don’t even realize that it is going off. Even worse, they may hear it and completely disregard it, telling everyone around them that it is broken. Either way, those actions can wreak havoc on your clothing security.

 For starters, most false alarms are not because of a broken tower or pedestal. More than likely there is a tag in the area, or clothes that are too close to the sensors with anti theft devices on it.

 Another option is that you are using cheap tags and labels that are foreign made imitations. They may not always be reliable. Soft tags can reactivate if they are not of good quality. Did you ever think that if one of your employees purchases your clothes that have these cheap labels sewn in, that as they wear the item, they may be setting off an alarm? How embarrassing for both you and for them.

 If you are using reliable cheap tags and cheap labels, you can at least throw out that as a list of reasons why your alarm might go off.

Your brand merchandise strategy

Everyone in the retail industry has a brand. It is how you and your stores look, think, act and convey you to the consumer. Billions of dollars are spent on company branding every year. These brands transcend beyond the company logo, right down to the very detail of displays of clothes and other accessories.

 Clothing security should be just as much of an integral part of your company’s brand strategy. Your brand should show how to use anti theft devices and where they will be put on the products.

 Your brand should also place emphasis on the fact that you do use anti theft devices to reduce your shrink. You can easily put up a sign on the doors or near fitting rooms that you electronically monitor your merchandise.

 The placement of your devices can also play a role in letting your customers know that you are reducing your shrink risk through EAS. You can place these tags as prominently as you like or as discreetly as you want based on your marketing and brand strategy.

What can we do?

When you want to stop shoplifting in your stores, the easiest thing to do is to start using anti theft devices for retail security. They will help deter a large majority of people who would consider shoplifting. If it is no longer easy to do, this percentage will simply stop and go somewhere else that is an easy target.

 Unfortunately, that leaves you with a different element of shoplifter, ones that are a little bit more seasoned, or desperate. Either way, anti theft devices are not going to dissuade them from stealing your goods.

 These are the people who must be caught in order for them to stop. You have the right to detain a shoplifter. You have a right to recover your merchandise and prevent a loss.

 You cannot just stop anyone because you felt like it, or you think they did something. You need to be sure. You need to know exactly which item they have, and where they concealed or hid it on their person.

 You also need to either call local law enforcement or let them go within a timely manner (think less than an hour). Check your local jurisdiction for exact information.

Prosecuting a minor

I hate it when kids steal. There is no good scenario for anyone under the age of 18 to be caught shoplifting. To start with, I firmly believe in the innocence of a child, even if that child is ready to graduate from high school and is almost an adult. Shoplifting turns into much more serious issues if undetected.

 Retail security is primarily designed for adults who knowingly violate the laws and understand the gravity of their consequences. Retail anti theft devices work best with adults because they know what these anti shoplifting tools are for.

 For small children, EAS tags don’t work because they don’t know what they do. Most children, up to a certain age, may know that it is wrong to take something that doesn’t belong to them, but aren’t fully aware of the meaning of shoplifting.

 Some small children (under five) may not even know that it is wrong.

 It’s the older, teenage crowd that shoplifts out of a dare, peer pressure, or for fun. They may think it is all a joke because they think they have the get out of jail free card until they turn 18. The good thing about anti shoplifting devices, however, is that it only takes one time of trying to take something that doesn’t belong to them for them to learn what these devices do.

The Bathroom Scam

When you catch someone stealing clothes, they always try to talk their way out of it. I have found over the years that one of the more popular ways is to claim a need to use a restroom.

 On occasion, it might be a real excuse, and it’s one that shouldn’t be ignored completely. If a shoplifter asks to use a bathroom, be accommodating, but also try to stall until the local authorities arrive (if you are prosecuting). They are much more knowledgeable about handling such situations. 

When a shoplifter tries to steal items and isn’t able to get the anti theft devices off, they might try to conceal them on their person. If the shoplifter goes into the privacy of a restroom stall, they will try to ditch those items and claim that you are wrong in apprehending them.

 Clothing security does not take into consideration the human element, so be careful, and be observant. Recover the merchandise first, and then allow use of a bathroom. After they are out of the stall (no need to violate their privacy inside the stall), make a quick check to ensure no other clothes were discarded.

Value Point Plus

Soft EAS tags (EAS Labels) are great. They are simple to use, versatile in their applications, and easy to apply right where you need them. As far as anti theft devices go, these are pretty top notch. The only thing better than a good label is a cheap label.

 The value point plus line of cheap labels provides that same versatility and quality that you want out of a name brand anti theft device, while keeping their prices low. Another great point is that they are compatible with your existing Checkpoint system.

 The value point plus soft labels work with your thermal printer to help mesh these labels into your stores visual standards. You can print on them bar codes, or pricing, company logos, or you can just leave them blank.

 The labels will adhere to a wide range of textures and materials, or they can be left on their backing if you wanted to slide them into a pocket of a purse or wallet, for example.

 Value point plus means that you get the VALUE of an inexpensive label PLUS the rest of the features to provide retail security for your products.

The response

Do you know how to respond to an alarm going off in your store? If you are using a Checkpoint system for your clothing security, you probably already do. The next question is do your employees know?

 Chances are, they may not. There is an element of confrontation involved when you respond to an alarm. It is not the same type confrontation that a salesperson selling clothes is using to approach a customer.

 You might find that one of the reasons your alarms are going off unattended, is that your employees simply are not comfortable with that confrontation. They are probably unsure of what to say, and unsure of how the customer is going to react.

 The best way to handle this is to take a copy f your company policies and run through the response script with your employees. Give them a chance to approach you acting as a customer. Give them some real life examples of what to expect. I’ll bet your alarm responses start to go up after this training.
