What’s in Your Bag?

One of the tricks of the trade is using a bolster or booster bag to shoplift. These are devices made to help shoplifters go about your store undetected. Some states do have legislation making it a crime to be in possession of or to use a bolster or booster. That doesn’t mean it stops shoplifters from stealing though. Remember, shoplifting is also illegal, and they ignore that one too.

 In the most simple terms, bolsters and booster bags may be anything from harnesses, to secret pockets sewn into clothes, to foil lined bags. Each one is designed to attempt to circumvent any anti theft devices you may have in place.

 A trained Loss Prevention professional will know how to spot those shoplifting tools, and make sure that the shoplifters are in fact apprehended and prosecuted. These tools can wind up being a thief’s downfall, as they further prove their intent to steal.

 Keep your clothing security programs in place and even the most innovative shoplifter who thinks they have a fool proof tool will be thwarted in the end.

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.

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.

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.

Methodology in clothing security

If you have a retail store that focuses on selling clothes you should be made aware that clothing security is much more than simply picking out a few anti-theft devices and thinking you are all set.  In truth you have to do everything from picking the anti-theft devices to ensuring the clothes are placed in an area of the store that makes them less desirable targets for potential shoplifters. 

Store layouts are key in protecting your assets.  For starters; placing the clothes as far from the entrance as possible ensures they are less likely to be the target of ‘grab-and-dash’ types of theft.  Then, ensuring that there are very visible cameras or other forms of surveillance devices helps make the thieves think twice when targeting said items.  Finally, the biggest issue in clothing security is protecting items going into a fitting room.  Not all places can afford to add it to the payroll, but I cannot proclaim the value of a continuous fitting room attendant enough.  A physical presence of a store employee is an almost surefire way to keep someone from pulling something in the fitting rooms.
