How much security is too much security?

In truth, when you are out to prevent retail theft there is no such thing as TOO MUCH security.  However you need to look at your anti-shoplifting needs as a company looks at any of their other needs.  You have to ask yourself questions like “Does this system work for MY store?” or “Can we afford to pay for so many anti-theft devices?”  That last question is usually one that comes up the most for any retail store. 

Budgeting for your loss prevention needs can be tough, especially when so many companies are being forced to cut back in these hard times.  Of course you need to weigh the pros and cons of such decisions as you can afford them but never, EVER, underestimate the threat of theft in your store.  More to the point, you should never underestimate the deterrence factor of having a good suite of anti-theft devices in place in your store.  You may not be able to stop the tried and true ‘hard’ criminals, who make a living off of stealing from others, but you will certainly make all the other opportunists and first-timers think twice about stealing from you just by having your merchandise tagged with Cheap Labels or Cheap Tags.

Hidden in Plain Sight

A shoplifters best friend is anonymity. They thrive in situations where they can move about undetected with ease. Sometimes that is a result of inattentive store employees due to neglect. Other times, the sheer masses of customers in a store make spotting a shoplifter near impossible. Think of trying to spot a needle in a haystack.

 When you look forward to Memorial Day weekend shopping, you might be conflicted. While you want to anticipate and get excited about increased sales and customer counts, you might also be aware that there will be an increase of shoplifters and shoplifting incidents.

 Installing anti theft devices on your clothes now can help alleviate that nervousness regarding potential theft in your stores. You will have the confidence to know that your store’s inventory is protected even if you can’t keep an eye out for every potential shoplifter out there.

 Just because a shoplifter is trying to hide in plain sight doesn’t mean they should be able to carry out their plans. Put your EAS tags in plain sight to send them on their way.

Doesn’t Matter Which Side You Are On

In order to prevent retail theft, you need to first have a clear-cut strategy of how you want to accomplish your goal. Ask yourself if you are looking only at anti shoplifting methods, or did you remember to include internal, or employee, theft in the equation?

 Even though most anti theft devices are geared towards anti shoplifting, about 40% of shrink form retailers nationwide come from an internal source. That is a pretty significant percentage when the rest of the shrink occurs from operational breakdowns and errors.

 Some retailers only report around 20% of their losses as a result of external theft.

 Luckily, EAS tags are designed to reduce both internal and external theft. Statistically, the use of EAS tags and EAS labels have proven themselves effective in both areas of loss.

 It really doesn’t matter if you are trying to prevent internal or external theft. EAS tags and labels work for both, helping you reduce the costs involved in your efforts to prevent retail theft from happening inside of your stores.

Retail Security: Profit’s Best Friend

Retail security involves many different working parts with regards to anti-shoplifting, some of which are different kinds of anti-theft devices used to deter theft. Anti-theft devices can, and should be used where necessary. Also they are very inexpensive and you will see your gain in the long run. Cheap tags can be placed on almost anything. There are so many different types of cheap tags made specifically for different types of merchandise. You can have tags that pin to clothing (without damaging them of course) and tags that stick onto boxes.

Cheap labels work well to compliment anti-theft devices by providing further visual warning to potential shoplifters. Let’s say a security tag is placed on a piece of clothing but it was placed incorrectly, or the clothing was folded in a way where the tag was not visible. Having a label present will let the shoplifter know that that particular item is protected.

Retail security is essential in maximizing profits. Cheap tags and cheap labels are out there for you to use to scare off and deter those who want to steal from you. By having an anti-shoplifting mindset coupled with great customer service, your store will be a money maker, not a money breaker.

Take a pit stop

I do a fair amount of traveling in my free time. Whether I am in and out of airports, or travel stops on the highway, I see the same clothing security breakdowns time and time again.

 Often these retailers are in an open area where there is a significant amount of foot traffic. The majority of this foot traffic is also transient in nature, as in all the shoppers are travelers from another city, or state, maybe even another country.

 If the retailers have no anti theft devices on their clothes, it is very easy for someone to slip in to the store, take what they want and slip back into the passing crowds of people never to be seen from again.

 It is an opportunistic nightmare. Most of those shoplifters probably aren’t on their holiday with the intention of finding a place to steal. They saw an opportunity present itself and get the better of them. The key rational is that they will never be back, so no one will notice them.

 Keep your eyes peeled for the traveler. They may be trying to take your merchandise on a vacation too.

Anti-Theft Devices: A Shoplifter’s Enemy

Clothing security is important in any retail establishment if that establishment wants to make profit. If you go into any major retailer out there I can guarantee you that Loss Prevention has a list of the top shrink/loss departments. I can also guarantee you that on a list of five departments, three will be clothes.

            Clothes are easy to steal and that is the reason that they appear on top shrink lists. Investing in anti-theft devices including various forms of security tags will greatly lower your shrink. It’s a safe investment but best of all it is an inexpensive one as well. There are plenty different kinds of cheap tags available to fit your business needs. In order to compliment these tags are very cheap labels which serve a shrink reducing purpose.

            Let’s say anti-theft devices were placed on jeans. The device was placed on it incorrectly on a pair and it was not visible to a shoplifter, the tag failed in its purpose. But like a good partner, a cheap label was there visibly stating that merchandise from that specific rack were all protected. The shoplifter changes his mind and leaves the store, and you just saved some clothes.

Preventing retail theft in a ‘big box store’

If you have never worked Loss Prevention in a ‘big box store’ you may find yourself wondering why exactly they would need such things like anti-theft devices in the first place.  Most stores that are of the ‘big box’ model require memberships to shop there and the vast majority of their products are massive in size or quantity making the possibility of theft difficult.  In a way such store models seem to prevent retail theft just by design.

The truth of the matter is that just because you may need a membership to shop somewhere doesn’t mean you need a membership to steal from the same place.  ‘Big box’ stores need to think about anti-shoplifting measures just as much as any department or specialty store does.  In fact, because of their business model it actually means there are a great deal more items in their inventories that require suites of anti-theft devices to protect them as such places are often the targets of ORC groups or ‘grab and dash’ criminals.  Don’t ever think there is some perfect business model that absolutely protects your store from theft without the need for anti-shoplifting measures.  You can never be too sure who might come walking through your store entrance and running out with an unsecured television.

Retail security with limited resources

I have been brought into a new store recently as a loss prevention supervisor and have found my resources extremely lacking and my workload practically back breaking.  The store has little in the way of available anti theft devices, no retail security cameras to truly speak of, and the staff is made up of people who are either internal theft suspects or completely clueless in the ways of shrink reduction practices. 

I know that I am not the first loss prevention professional to encounter such a daunting situation upon being assigned a store.  In fact it is not the first time that I, myself, have been put in such a situation.  However there are those among our ranks, usually the newer members of the profession, who might balk or retreat when faced with such obstacles.  For those in the latter camp I have two pieces of advice that might make things easier to tackle.

The first is common sense.  No matter how bad things in your store might be, don’t try to tackle every problem at once.  Take your issues one at a time in a priority of worst-case to easy-peasy and you’ll save yourself a ton of headaches.

Secondly, don’t let a lack of resources stop you.  Rather, get inventive with what you have at your disposal.  No cameras?  Enforce a 100% tagging policy.  Not enough staff?  Let your cashiers be your eyes and ears.  Improvisation is key to solving problems.

Get A Fresh Start

Spring is in the air. Everywhere I turn, I see signs of new life. It is an invigorating feeling to think of all of the new and exciting possibilities. It’s not just from the trees getting their new leaves, or the flowers blooming along the streets. It is also inside the stores.

 The new fiscal year is well underway, and several stores have already begun their annual inventories. Once the tedious task of counting and auditing the inventory reports have passed, I find I have the same sense of renewal.

 It’s a chance to start over with your retail security programs. Out with the old and in with the new. This is when you get to see what worked and what didn’t. Scrap those programs that didn’t make an impact. Start looking at adding in new programs like incorporating anti theft devices.

 Use this time as an opportunity to start fresh. There are cheap tags and cheap labels that can protect your merchandise. They are a financially plausible anti shoplifting solution.

 Give your old worn out plans the boot. Bring in new ideas and new anti theft devices to solve your shrink reduction needs.
