System Failure- Checkpoint Systems

April 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Nothing is more frustrating than listening to anti-shoplifting pedestals continually going off throughout the day. I take that back, one thing even more frustrating is when the alarms are false alarms. Not only are false alarms an irritant for both your customers and your store’s employees, but also it proves to be an ineffective way to stop shoplifting.

I have had many experiences with Checkpoint systems failures that are a direct result of damage done to the EAS pedestals. Sometimes the damages were deliberate as someone tried to disengage our retail theft prevention. Other times it was much more benign, a direct result of countless shopping carts banging into the pedestals on their way out the door during a busy weekend.

Sometimes it was the water from the floor cleaner that would seep into the base and disrupt the electronic components. Regardless of method, the retail theft prevention we had would be rendered null and void due to these damages interfering with the system.

Technology has improved over time. Now the Checkpoint systems are much more durable. The bases are more resistant to water or to intentional tampering. The pedestals are also now constructed from impact resistant thermoplastics. All of which helps keep the systems running when they should and eliminating more of the false alarms that were a result from system failures and damages.

Drill Down the Reports- Clothing Security

April 3, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I was recently talking to a national company who was incurring losses due to theft at the hands of major organized crime rings. They wanted to know how to reduce the losses and increase their clothing security.
I spoke with them about some of their basic operations to get a better feel for what we could do for them. As it turned out, some most of the issues had nothing to do with clothing alarms or clothing security tags. The biggest complications came from their inventory ordering and management.
Their inventory relied heavily on special buys. These were big purchases of designer clothing that were either a second run or otherwise greatly reduced item. Once these items sold out, there was no rebuy of the merchandise. Inventory was taken once a year so it was potentially twelve months before a loss was identified. Needless to say tracking their losses was a difficult task.
I suggested that they start by drilling down the sales reports. It is there that they would be able to see what was there but also what was not. If they were not selling in a particular area they might be experiencing theft issues, If you don’t have the product to sell, your sales suffer. Next is to evaluate the clothing security on those items and increase their usage accordingly.

The Name Game- Clothing Security Tags

April 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I don’t recall there ever being a time when it was not important to wear a name brand. Even though the names might change, having a designer label or the right name brand is always important- especially to teenagers. Since these teens are often under serious pressure to have the right look, or to fit in with the “right crowd”, they often resort to making attempts to defeat clothing security to steal their coveted attire.
One of the redeeming factors for retailers is that teenagers are not hardened career criminals. This means that clothing security tags make a greater impact on thwarting those types of theft.
Teenagers do not have the same level of experience or determination needed to defeat security tags on clothes. In some ways, they have more driving factors to convince them not to steal. Having Checkpoint tags increases the risk of a teenage getting caught stealing. If they are caught, they know that their parents will find out, maybe even their friends or their school. As much as they are pressured to wear these name brand clothes, there is equal pressure not to get caught.
By increasing their risk of getting caught, you can tip the teen’s decision-making scales in your favor. Clothing security on name brand clothes will keep your merchandise in stock and keep your popular with the “right crowd”.

Fit The Shoes- Clothing Security

March 31, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Using the Alpha Security Mini CableLok instead of checkpoint tags offers more range for your clothing security. The Mini CableLok is a small 3” aircraft grade cable with an isolated sound chamber. The cable can be looped through straps or decorations that would secure the lock. By increasing the range of merchandise that can now be secured, to makes it harder for a shoplifter or an employee to sneak out the door.
Shoes always pose a problem for clothing security tags. The two biggest losses in the shoe department are inventory shrink losses from shoplifters or employees.
These theft losses are pretty straightforward. Often a shoplifter will come into the store with an old pair of shoes and try on a new pair. They put their old pair in the box and walk out with the new pair.
An employee might do the same, or they will be more likely to pass off the shoes at the point of sale to a friend or relative.
Using clothing security only partially solves each of these problems. Since the pin system only works when there is an eye to thread the stickpin through, many shoes cannot be tagged.
Strappy heels, dress shoes and sandals are prime examples. Without clothing security, it is just that much easier for a shoplifter to walk out the door unnoticed.

It Only Takes One- Checkpoint Systems

March 30, 2014 by Leave a Comment
We had an employee theft interview last night. It was a shock because this employee was always pointing out other theft issues in the store. Had it not been for our Checkpoint Systems, we might never have caught him.
He was smart enough to understand that if he simply bagged up merchandise, the EAS alarm would sound when the anti shoplifting tags passed through the exit doors. So he made sure that he went to the register to deactivate all of the tags.
He also realized that if he was deactivating tags at the register, he needed it to look like he was helping a real customer. So he had friends come in to “check out”. We never suspected that if a customer was standing at the checkout with merchandise, and a cashier was ringing them up that we needed to be looking to stop shoplifting.
One day, he must have missed a tag because the alarm went off when the customer/ friend left. Later on when I reviewed the alarms and the receipts I realized that no actual sale took place. I researched more and found out just how many time he had been faking sales.
He admitted to doing the pass offs because he needed the money. His friends would come in and give him cash for the merchandise. He would ring them up and charge them half of the total and pocket the money. He then voided out the transaction to avoid a drawer shortage.

In Good Conscience – Wardrobing Tags

March 29, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When a customer buys an item of clothing that they have every intention of wearing to an event and then return it, it is called wardrobing.
This is a different action (and intention) than a customer who buys an item and tries it on at home, instead of in a dressing room at the store. The customer might still return the item, but they have not worn it to an event or for an extended period of time.
In the first scenario, the retailer is left with used product and cannot, in good conscience, sell the item for full price. To counteract this practice, retailers are more frequently using Alpha Shark Tags or a similar type of wardrobing tags.
The Alpha Shark Tag specifically is a red plastic tag that is attached with a pin closure. The pin clamps onto the merchandise. To be truly effective, the tags should be someplace conspicuous, such as the middle of the neckline on a dress or shirt. The tags are able to hold a small card or slip of paper that describes the return policy and the recommended removal method of these wardrobing tags.
The tags are easily removed with household scissors. However, they should only be removed once the customer is sure they are going to keep the item. This is how the retailer safeguards that this item has not been worn and can therefore be returned per company policies without having to question or second-guess the customer.

Get It Clean- Anti Theft Devices

March 27, 2014 by Leave a Comment
On a recent shopping trip, I ended up leaving a store without making a purchase. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to spend money; it was because I couldn’t find anything in their messy store. This wasn’t so much an issue of employee engagement or merchandise recovery practices. It was about anti shoplifting practices being nonexistent.
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. Without the threat of anti theft devices, shoplifters were tearing the jewelry department up. They knew they could get away with whatever they wanted.
It was frustrating as a customer to not be able to find what I needed quickly. It was even more frustrating having worked with anti theft devices before. I know that the simple addition of cheap tags and cheap labels could have prevented some of this mess.
When shoplifters are not intimidated in a store, they will ransack whatever they feel like. This is why there was such a mess. It was the aftermath of multiple shoplifters. Having anti shoplifting tools will reduce the scope of the shoplifters mess and will leave the area easier to shop by actual paying customers.

Return to Sender- Checkpoint Systems

March 25, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Our store uses Checkpoint systems for anti shoplifting. This helps to alleviate most of the criminal element from coming into the store to start with. Next, these same tools that we use to stop shoplifting help clue us in when someone tries a fraudulent refund. They come to the cashier and try to refund merchandise that still has the Checkpoint systems tags still attached, and no receipt.
Other stores that I know of do not use retail theft prevention devices for anti shoplifting. Since the theft of the merchandise was so easy, the store was viewed as an easy refund target within the community. They also did not have any sort of policy in place regarding refunds that did not have a receipt. As a result, refunders on almost a daily basis targeted them.
We started a policy of allowing customers three no receipted refunds within a six-month period before we declined the return. That gave the legitimate shopper an opportunity to return items that a receipt was lost, or they received the items as a gift.
The end result was that we were able to make accommodations to satisfy (instead of alienating) our customer base (usually the ones who did not return merchandise with retail theft prevention tags). For those that abused the refunds, we were able to capture data on who was doing the returns (asking for a picture ID) and track their movements and develop shoplifting cases accordingly on those suspects.

Clothes Make The Man – Clothing Alarm

March 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment

If your store really does have great customer service, you might not need clothing security tags. The service level will discourage shoplifters from attempting to steal inside your place of business. That being said, it really won’t matter if you have security tags on your clothes, if your employees decide not to give everyone that superior service level.

Take a shoplifting incident we had. A well-dressed man came into the store. He greeted and waved hello to all of the employees he came across. Because he was so outgoing and friendly, the employees completely disregarded him and ultimately did not provide any customer service.

When the clothing alarm went off the employees saw this man walking out the door with his arms piled full of clothes that had not been paid for. Can you imagine their shock and disbelief at what happened? It was in their hesitation that this man made a clean get-away.

Had the merchandise not had clothing security tags, they never would have even noticed. There would not have been a clothing alarm that made them look up to see what was going on. This is a situation where the perpetrator was going to steal regardless of how much clothing security there was. The only thing that would have stopped him was an employee actually giving excellent customer service.
