Can’t Change Her Mind – Wardrobing Retail

June 19, 2014 by Leave a Comment
As a retailer, it is our job not to try and change the perception of these customers. It is our job to eliminate the opportunity within our own store for wardrobing retail to take place.
Two ladies were talking about the interview one of them had later. One of the ladies was expressing her disgust at the other coffee shop patrons who were walking to closely to her with their cups of coffee.
She talked about how mad she would be if someone spilt even a drop of coffee on her new outfit. At first I sympathized thinking that if I had bought a new outfit to impress a potential employer, I would not want to show up with coffee stains all over it.
Then I realized that the lady was upset because she needed to keep the outfit nice so she could return it to the store the next day. It actually made me so disgusted that I personally wanted to “accidentally” spill my coffee on her. Then I realized- what good would that do?
The lady was so open about her actions that this very clearly was not her first time doing so. Unfortunately, this also would not be her last.
Wardrobing is a part of her lifestyle. It probably is something she had done for so long, that she no longer sees anything wrong with it, if she ever even felt any remorse or hesitation about it.

Customer Embarrassment – Checkpoint Tags

June 17, 2014 by Leave a Comment
An online store is also a great way to reach a whole new customer base. Unless you are doing extremely well, you are probably not at a point where you need a separate and distinct shipping warehouse to fulfill your online orders. 
That means you are fulfilling orders out of your existing stock, from your existing brick and mortar locations making it even more important to make sure your employees are packaging orders correctly. 
They need to ensure the product’s size, color, brand and quantity are what have actually been ordered. Your employees also need to make sure that any security tags have been removed or deactivated.
Based upon the product being shipped can effect the potential for customer service fail when the customer receives the product. Soft tags are less likely than hard EAS tags to cause a major issue if they are not deactivated before shipping, but they may still cause some problems for the customer.
If you sell clothing that has a source tag embedded into the product (like some name brand running shoes are) it can cause problems for the customer later on. They might not realize there is a security tag in their shoes, and can potentially set off security systems as they wear these shoes out and about. This can lead to multiple embarrassing alarms, and ill will toward your store for putting them in that situation.

Cheaply Made, Cheaply Defeated- Security Tags On Clothes

June 15, 2014 by Leave a Comment
In order for security tags on clothes to be effective, you have to have a certain level of quality in your clothing security resources and tools. Some retailer’s use cheaply made and cheaply sold clothing security, instead of Checkpoint Tags.
If I was to look closely at these cheap clothing security tags, I would be able to see the actual seam in the middle of the hard shell. On some of them, the seams are actually breaking apart.
Any shoplifter with an ounce of persistence could easily pry the two sides apart with a screwdriver or other tool. Once the two sides are pried apart, the shoplifter has access to the inner locking mechanism, which is what holds the pin in place on your clothing. Once the pin is removed, these clothing security tags have effectively been rendered completely worthless.
Checkpoint tags have a guarantee of quality. They know that if you cannot rely on their product for your clothing security needs, you will spend your money elsewhere. That is why when they seal the clamshell section of their tags together, they do it so it is a permanent seal that will not come undone, or be easily pried apart. Just remember, if the tags are cheaply made, they will cheaply be defeated.

Pulling Double Duty- Anti Theft Devices

June 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Do you know that anti theft devices can help you eliminate or reduce employee theft in your business? It took me a long time to figure that out. It wasn’t until I had some actual training in loss prevention that I realized how truly multifunctional cheap tags and cheap labels could be for your retail security.
I knew that anti theft devices were primarily designed for anti shoplifting purposes. What I didn’t know was how these same devices are a theft deterrent for employees. You see when an employee looks to steal merchandise, they go through a very similar process that a shoplifter does. They look for a quiet moment when no one is watching to commit their act. They look to figure out how to get the merchandise out of the store. They also look to see how which merchandise would be best to take.
If the merchandise has no anti shoplifting alarms attached, then the merchandise is more desirable. It will be easier to get out the door undetected by other employees or management.

Are Your Profits Tied Up? – Clothing Security

June 12, 2014 by Leave a Comment
It is not uncommon for retailers to use bulky cable and chain locks to secure entire fixtures of expensive clothes, like jackets or coats. The problem is that these chain locks are often extremely sensitive and are prone to setting off the clothing alarm by very little movement of the product.
That means that an employee needs to be present at all times to detach an item for a customer. When an employee is not there, customers are often reluctant to try anything on, much less to take their time to track down an employee just to look at one on.
This is probably the most common area that retailers are challenged with finding a balance. They need to balance the use of clothing security with the shopping habits and needs of their customers.
When your merchandise is tied up to the point that it is unshoppable to the average customers then your profits on those items are tied up as well. Literally. It has been proven over and over that when you eliminate access to your merchandise, sales go down. When you give customers the ability to touch, feel, and try on clothes at their leisure, sales of those items increase. When the sales increase, so does the profit.

Nice Nails- Alpha Shark Tags

June 10, 2014 by Leave a Comment
At one time, we employed a door guard whose job it was to greet customers, answer alarm activations, and to validate returns coming into the store. One day he told me about a girl that came in to return some nail polish. As she showed my employee the receipt and the bottle she was returning, told her that the color was really pretty and almost like the color she was wearing on her nails. It was a classic case of wardrobing.
Now this girl quickly changed her story and backtracked saying that she wasn’t going to return the nail polish, but she knew she was caught.
Too bad it isn’t always that easy for a retailer to know if their product is used in wardrobing.
Even though it is rare to catch a customer actually wearing the clothes they are attempting to return, Alpha Shark Tags are the next best thing. These plastic red tags help to reinforce your store’s return policy. Because the red tags simply can not be removed or reattached without showing signs of tampering, it is a fool proof way for your employees to determine if the clothing can be returned or not.
Alpha Shark Tags may not be able to tell you what the customer did with the clothes after they left the store, but they can decrease the likelihood that they were worn and then returned.

What A Mess- Retail Security

June 10, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I recently went to a store to buy some new accessories for an upcoming event. Little did I know that this shopping trip would be a lesson in how the lack of anti theft devices makes a huge difference in how clean a store is.
Because this particular store had been completely ransacked in their jewelry department. It was almost impossible to find what I needed. There were earrings missing, or lying on the ground in complete disarray.
Eventually, I just ended up leaving without making a purchase. It was frustrating as a customer to have such rotten luck finding what I needed. It was even more frustrating having worked in retail security because I know that the simple addition of cheap labels and cheap tags could have prevented some of this mess.
This wasn’t so much an issue of employee engagement or merchandise recovery practices. This mess was because shoplifters had complete access to the merchandise. Without the threat of retail security, shoplifters were tearing the jewelry department up. They knew they could get away with whatever they wanted.

Early Warning System- Checkpoint Security System

June 8, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I worked at a major upscale department store. We had several entrance doors in our location, and I had gone to start locking them all up as we closed down for the night. As I was walking to lock up the last door, I heard the security alarms go off. I looked up and saw five guys with their arms loaded with expensive handbags running out the door. 
The security tags on the handbags set the alarm off notifying us of the problem. Unfortunately, these security tags did not deter these professional thieves. They knew they were going to be fast getting in and out, and would set the alarm off as they went.
What they didn’t count on was the camera system we had documenting their every move. Even though they disregarded the tags, the alarm let us know what was happening. 
We were able to use this information to build a case with the police department, which led to their arrest. Had we not had the tags on to set the alarm off, we would not have noticed that night that the handbags had been stolen.
That would have given the criminals ample time to get away. If we had not known what time (or day) the loss took place, we might not have been able to track down the video, which is what the police needed to make their arrest.

The Height of Fashion- Alpha Shark Tags

June 7, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When someone is wardrobing retail pieces of merchandise, they are buying an item to wear one time and then return to get their money back. This is all to frequent with special occasion items (for example) where the wearer can’t justify spending the money on the item, but still wants the latest fashion, or at the very least a better item than what they can afford.
They keep the price tags on, being careful not to spill on or otherwise soil the merchandise, and return the item soon after the event. The justification comes from feeling like they gave back an item that is as good as new, so the retailer could not possibly be out anything.
Since they have taken such good care of the item, they feel like they are free to continue this practice of wardrobing to stay at the height of fashion. Yes, in some circles, it is still taboo to wear the same thing one more than one occasion. There is a social pressure to have the latest looks, or at least a different one than what was worn to the last soiree.
By using the alpha shark tags, you can stop this cycle of wardrobing. It is extremely difficult to stay at the height of fashion when you have a large and unsightly security tag affixed to the center of your blouse or special occasion outfit.

Implications Beyond Your Store –Wardrobing

June 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Wardrobing is not just about the customers who are in your store. It is also about customers who do any kind of online or mail order shopping. I never thought about those ramifications until I was presented with an unfortunate situation as a customer.
I recently bought a dress. Since I made the purchase online I never worried that the dress may have been involved in any wardrobing before I bought it. I didn’t realize that some companies send merchandise straight from a store, instead of out of a warehouse.
Once I received the dress in the mail, I went to try it on and there was a huge smudge of makeup all inside the dress. Ugh. After calling customer service, I was given two options, return the dress or keep the dress with an extra ten percent discount. Since I really wanted the dress and the discount would cover dry cleaning, I went with option number two.
One of two things had happened. The make up came from a customer trying the dress on, oblivious to the damage she did, or it came from a customer who was wardrobing.
Either way, the company lost out. They were shorted the discount that they gave me. Additionally, they lost me as a customer (and all the money I am spending elsewhere) because it was not worth the potential hassle to order anything from them again.
