Grab What You Can- Clothing Security

A grab and run theft is a pretty basic, and yet highly effective form of theft that affects many clothing retailers. The thieves come into a store, pick up a large quantity of the same merchandise, and run out the door into the waiting get away car.
Sometimes the thieves will load their own arms up as with as much as what they can hold, sometimes they will use the store’s shopping bags or carts to hold the massive quantity of merchandise on their way out the door.
Because these thefts are so big and obvious, the shoplifter will come in and out in as little time as possible- sometimes less than a minute total. All of that is contributed to some detailed planning ahead of the actual theft.
They will have scoped out the store ahead of time to find out where items are kept. They will figure out the best place to park the escape vehicle, and they will know when your employees are most and least likely to notice them.
Because the theft happens so fast, it is basically over before it begins. Your employees probably won’t notice anything until the EAS/ security alarm goes off as the thieves are running out the door with your merchandise. The losses are astronomical due to the large quantity of product being taken at one time.

No More Pin Stripes- Clothing Security

The days of mob bosses and pin striped suits are gone. The new face of organized crime is one of many nationalities, both males and females, and of all groups. The sad reality is that organized criminals are stealing from these stores because the owners and employees are so oblivious to what is going on. The employees are simply looking the other way, or do not realize the full extent of the theft.
What ends up becoming a reality is that many retailers think because no one in a fedora and pin stripe suit is stealing from them they are immune to organized retail theft.
In fact, many organized retail theft cases that I have worked in the past revolve around a suspect that every one in the store has seen. That is because these thieves are in the store on multiple occasions and aren’t scared of employee interaction. 
When I show my employees pictures of my suspects so they can let me know if they see them, the employees often are surprised because they do recognize the suspect. They see them frequently, but never suspected a thing. This familiarity only makes it easier for these organized retail criminals to get away with multiple thefts and major financial losses for the unassuming stores.

How Much Is Not Enough? – Retail Theft Prevention

Many retailers have stopped wasting their time apprehending shoplifting incidents under twenty-five dollars. What they have found is that the time and money spent to apprehend and prosecute these low dollar cases does not outweigh the losses from the crime. So it makes sense, financially, to let those small-dollar shoplifting incidents go.
Unfortunately, when you have too many small dollar incidents, you still risk these losses adding up to a cumulatively large financial loss. 
For the big box stores that are large enough and financially secure enough to absorb such losses, this is not a big deal. What about for the smaller retailer? How much can you effectively absorb before it is too big to handle? 
You might want to focus on smaller dollar losses, so they do not become a bigger issue over time. It might make more sense to you to take care to these little things.
You have to take the time to evaluate your own financial situation to determine how much is still not enough to prosecute? Maybe your store can set a limit at ten dollars; maybe you don’t want to waste your resources unless the crime is over fifty dollars.
Whatever the mark is, understanding both the short term and the long term valuations will determine what makes sense to you.

Keep A Watchful Eye- Clothing Security

During a recent loss prevention consultation with a local clothing store, we knew we needed to have some ways to identify what kinds of thefts were taking place, and what kinds of clothing protection would be effective to stop the inventory losses for happening.
We started by taking a look at the store’s sales reports. We broke the sales down by departments and compared them to last month’s sales and last year’s. We noticed which departments were behind on their sales goals for the year, and which ones did not increase compared to last year. 
I explained that if they did not have the right products to sell, then they would not have a chance at meeting or exceeding their sales goals.
Next we looked for signs of theft- specifically for torn of clothing tags. We found several caches of them behind the mirrors in the fitting rooms. We also found them under some shelves in an unattended corner of the store.
One of the most basic solutions was to start using electric article surveillance tags and devices to protect the inventory from theft. Next we put a seal of caulk around the fitting room mirrors, preventing the thieves from sticking price and clothing tags behind them.
Lastly, we moved the tables around to open up the back corner. Now, even when an employee can’t physically be back in that corner, they can still keep a watchful eye from the front of the store.

No Need To Make It Any Worse- Retail Theft Prevention

Many retailers who sell electronics are faced with a multitude of problems as they cling onto as much of their profits as what they can. Retail theft prevention is just the start of their inventory woes. Along with show rooming, merchandise theft has one of the biggest impacts on profitability.
Show rooming is becoming more frequent as more shoppers are turning to online ordering and price comparisons. These savvy shoppers scour the internet sites for the best price of a particular electronic device they want. Rather than buying this item sight unseen, they drive to the closest brick and mortar store to visually inspect and understand the device. They are able to use the knowledgeable sales staff to answer any particular questions they might have.
Inside the store, retailers need to provide displays so they have a fighting chance of securing the sale, instead of driving the already scarce customers elsewhere to make their purchases. In doing so, these electronic devices need to be accessible to the customer, but also need to be retail theft prevention conscious.
The Alpha Security Atlas Display is a great solution for both problems. It will secure the device while allowing a wider range of accessibility for the customer.

Is This A Joke- Alpha Shark Tags

What is black and white and red all over? No, it is not a newspaper. It is clarity of your store’s return policy against consumer wardrobing when you use the red Alpha Shark Tags on your special occasion clothing.
One of the best ways to implement a change of policy is to make sure your intentions are clear- make them black and white. When you start to use wardrobing tags, you want to make sure your employees and your customers are clear form the start as to what they are and what they are used for.
Wardrobing tags are plastic clamps that affix to the front of a garment. There is usually a pin that clamps the two sides together securely. Because this is not an anti shoplifting device, the consumer can easily remove the tag with a pair of household scissors.
It is important that the consumer knows these tags are there for one reason only: to stop wardrobing. The consumer also needs to know that if the tag is removed, it will be unable to be reattached. If the tag is removed, the retailer can use its discretion to reject a return even if it is within the store’s receipted return policy.
The best way to ensure the consumer knows this policy is to verbally tell them at the point of sale. The Alpha Shark Tag can also attach a paper copy of the return and wardrobing policy to the garment to further ensure communication with the consumer.

Fully Immersed and Hands On- Retail Theft Prevention

One important piece to selling electronics is the ability to demonstrate them. When a customer is looking to buy a new tablet or phone, they want to be able to push the keys, turn it on and see how it is going to work for them. When they can use it, the customer is better informed and more likely to buy it. When retail theft prevention locks those items up and prevents demonstrations, a customer is more likely to pass on that purchase.
There are retail theft prevention devices that work wonderfully to stop shoplifting electronics when they are in the packages. To allow a customer to be fully immersed and hands on with the product, other anti shoplifting tools need to be used to secure a working display from theft.
The Atlas system is a fully contained system that allows customers to use the display and still keep it secured. Because the Atlas display stand incorporates all of the components in its base, there is no need to drill into existing counters, or can be used on a glass display case. The Atlas is appropriate for use with electronics like tablets, GPS, cameras, mobile phones and MP3 players.

How Much is Too Much? – Clothing Security

How much is too much? When you are merchandising and stocking in your departments, traditionally you want to fill the shelves and the racks as much as you can. It is usually discouraged to have things in a back stockroom. How does this play into clothing security? Can there be too much product on the sales floor?
If you have theft issues, than yes, you can have too much product out. Thieves will take every opportunity you give them. If you put out every piece of high theft merchandise, do not be surprised if the thieves actually take every piece.
Clothing security actually goes beyond just putting clothing security tags on your merchandise. It involves taking a second look at the opportunities your store presents. Can you reduce your shelf quantities and not make a negative impact on your sales? If so, do it. Take those items and back stock them.
By giving your store a different approach to theft prevention than just using Checkpoint tags, you will be better off. Reducing your shelf quantity is just another enhancement to your clothing security.
The right way is to look at your current sales and make a determination if you can make the reductions. If you sell multiples of an item and need a large representation of this item, don’t sacrifice your sales through a shelf quantity reduction. However, those situations are generally more of an exception than a rule.

Open Source Shopping- Retail Theft Prevention

 In addition to the traditional retail theft prevention that is provided by Checkpoint systems, Alpha Security Atlas Displays create an open and inviting experience e for your customers.

That does not mean that you can’t stop shoplifting while your customers are trying out a display model.
The Atlas display allows for such a marriage of retail theft prevention and customer access through these well thought out features:
Works with tablets, mobile phones, cameras, GPS devices and MP3 players. System provides power to merchandise so shoppers have the full experience. Security is monitored through multiple trigger points. Internal alarm and flashing LED indicates if product is tampered with. Back-up battery maintains constant security if power is lost or power supply is interrupted. Adhesive on the base mounts securely to any flat surface without drilling holes. Programmable security key will arm or disarm system — up to 20 keys can be programmed for each stand. Backed by a global service and support network. Compliments Alpha Security’s line of S3 solutions.

Top Of Their Game- Checkpoint Tags

Checkpoint tags are to a certain extent efficient in preventing shoplifting. When it comes to shoes, these clothing security tags may not be at the top of their game. If it is a case of straight theft from a grab and run, or concealment then the tags can be useful. When it comes to miss matched shoes, it is not an effective deterrent.
Miss matched shoes are two different sized shoes in the same shoebox. Obviously it didn’t come in that way from the vendor. A customer with two different sized feet (which is very common) get two pairs of shoes in two different sizes. They take one shoe from each pair leaving you with a pair of dissimilar sized shoes. Since it is very rare that you can find another customer with the exact need for this mixed size pair of shoes, you now have a loss on your hands.
Mini CableLoks by Alpha Security can actually help with both kinds of losses. They are an alarm based clothing security tag. They are secured using aircraft grade cables instead of pins, which gives some protection against miss match shoes. When you use the 6” cable, you can actually attach both pair of shoes together with some room for the customer to still try them on and take a step or two. If both shoes stay physically connected, they can’t be separated causing the loss.
