Clothing security is sometimes overlooked when finding ways to increase profits. Not surprisingly, managers and business owners can forget the importance of a well-functioning clothing security program.

Working in the retail environment over these past several years, I have come to understand that clothing security is a very important part of the clothing retail business. Specifically, clothing security tags help prevent the merchandise, aka profits, from walking out the door. Acting as a physical and visible deterrent, clothing security tags provide the necessary piece to increasing store profits through protection of merchandise. Now security tags on clothes work only as well as they are executed. Have a poorly executed plan and you’ll be not only wasting your money on clothing security tags but you’ll be losing your profits.

Security tags on clothes have been around for a few years now, and the technology has gotten much better. Clothing security tags have become more appealing and are not as imposing as once were. I remember seeing security tags on clothes for the first time and thinking, what a horrible sight.  Cables, pins, and buttons sticking out everywhere from the merchandise, making it almost impossible to purchase and at times damaging the product, not the best when thinking of sales and customer service.

Look closely at your overall store performance when determining what types of clothing security you need. Will security tags on clothes work for you? If you are a clothing retailer, you need clothing security, and in my opinion, nothing works better than security tags on clothes to prevent theft and boost your profits.

The retailer I work for has a well-executed merchandise protection program and is seen daily when looking at sales and service records.

It is a very busy time for retailers, school is back in and the new merchandise has already arrived for fall.  Many retailers are finding that they have more apparel than they have racks to display them.  This means setting up aisle displays and displays near the entrances of their stores.  Retailers are also aware that this is the time of year when they lose a lot of clothing due to theft.  So, what do you do when you can’t nail it down?  You ensure that your clothing security practices are effective at protecting your merchandise.

Clothing security tags or a clothing alarm allow retailers to face this busy season more confidently.  Checkpoint tags are probably by far one of the most widely used tags when placing security tags on clothes.  Checkpoint tags have been around and are durable and effective at preventing shoplifting.  Checkpoint tags are consistently sought after for their style and adaptability to retailer needs.  Clothing security is important and having the right clothing security tags on your clothing is critical. A clothing alarm is equally important when trying to prevent shoplifting. A clothing alarm can be music to a retailer’s ear and a sour note to a perspective shoplifter.

Placing security tags on clothes located near exits or entrances is a must to prevent them from easing out the door. Clothing security tags send a clear message to a perspective shoplifter and that is, not at this store.  .  Retailers have so many things to worry about and focus on during this time of year, clothing security should not be on the list.  Take the necessary steps now and invest in clothing security tags.  These tags can mean the difference between a good year and a great year.  It is the goal of an organization to sell it goods, not to simply let them walk out the door. By placing security tags on clothes you are defending your merchandise. Use clothing security tags when you can’t afford to nail it down

Great customer service drives retail businesses. Without great service, customers won’t want to come back and continuing buying your merchandise. But how can you deliver great service if all of your focus is on shoplifters and potential thieves? Allow clothing security tags to deter the shoplifters and free you up to deliver the service that will drive customers to come back time and time again.

A few days ago at a store neighboring my work, a shoplifter ran out with several pairs of jeans that had no clothing security tags. The associates and managers were in a panic outside of the store calling the police and attempting to describe what the thief looked like as he ran down the street with their clothes. I couldn’t help but wonder how many potential customers could have received great customer service in the time the associates were busy with the thief. They could have sold hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise! If only they had clothing security.

Occurrences such as the one above could have easily been prevented had that store installed clothing alarms. Installing Checkpoint tags and clothing alarms throughout your store can free up your associates to fully focus on the customer. Not only can security tags on clothes deter shoplifters, they have minimal interference to the customer who can simply take them to the register to have the clothing security removed at the time of purchase.

Don’t be the store that is not protected. Install clothing security, such as Checkpoint tags, on your merchandise and allow your associates to focus on the customer.

In this economic environment it is important for retailers to defend their apparel profits as they can go a long way in determining the overall profitability of a retailer.  A solid clothing security program that includes clothing security tags and a clothing alarm system is critical in protecting profits from clothing sells.  It is not wise for a retailer to think that shoplifters want target their stores.  A great defense to theft is having a great offense in place.  Clothing security is an offensive strategy that has been proven effective at reducing loss due to theft.  Clothing security tags act as a visual deterrent to theft.  A clothing alarm is a visual and audible deterrent to theft.  A clothing alarm can send a shoplifter running for the exit.

How do you decide what brand of clothing security rags to use? When placing security tags on clothes it is important to make sure the clothing security tags will be reliable and not prone to defect. Checkpoint tags provide that reliability the reliability that you’re looking for.  Checkpoint tags are used throughout the retail industry.  Checkpoint tags come in an array of sizes, shapes and colors.  When placing these security tags on clothes you can be confident that they will be effective at deterring theft. The placement of these security tags on clothes is easy and fast. Clothing security tags usually have two pieces which snap together.  Clothing security tags are as simple to detach as they are to attach to clothes.  Having security tags on clothes means a better defended product.

Clothing security is a total team effort associates must be willing to place security tags on clothes.  Let them know that in doing so they are helping the store to be profitable.  In my experience as a loss prevention manger I have found associates are more than willing to do their part to defend the store from theft.

Retailers use Checkpoint tags to ensure they have the best brand in clothing security.  Clothing security tags should be durable and should not be easily removed without the appropriate detacher or deactivator for a clothing alarm.  When placing security tags on clothes the retailer should be comfortable that they will stay on the clothing until the clothing security tags are removed with a detacher found at the POS register.  In my past experience I have seen shoplifters come into the store with wire cutters and try and cut clothing security tags off the clothing.  Criminals are intent on taking what they want.  It is important that retailers be intent on keeping what they have.

This makes it even more important for a retailer’s clothing security to include Checkpoint tags that affix tightly to the clothing and do not allow for easy removal by wire cutters or pliers.  Shoplifters will try to remove the security tags on clothes if they think they can do it easily.  Checkpoint tags provide no easy way to improperly remove them from the clothing.  I have seen shoplifters try for hours to distract the cashier long enough to try and remove a security all with no luck.  I know if the merchandise would have not been protected by a security tag the merchandise would have been taken and the shoplifters would have probably visited the store again.

Clothing security tags or a clothing alarm can provide the protection needed to prevent shoplifters from stealing valuable merchandise from any retailer.  Shoplifters are entering stores daily to scope out the theft prevention practices in place for that location.  When they see security tags on clothes or a clothing alarm in use at a store, they will check that store off their shoplifter list.  Let Checkpoint tags provide the clothing security you need at your retail location.

There are very few things more important for a clothing retailer than clothing security.  It is paramount for clothing retailers to ensure they are putting security tags on clothes.  Retailers have seen significant losses over the years due to an increase in retail theft.  One way retailers are combating this growing problem is by being proactive in the area of clothing security.  Retailers are placing security tags on clothes and using a clothing alarm.  A clothing alarm in conjunction with clothing security tags enhances a retailer’s ability to protect its assets.

A clothing alarm gives an audible alert anytime clothing may be being tampered with or about to be taken from the store without being purchased.  As the economy continues to look dim for many people, shoplifters are finding an increased demand for their stolen clothes.  If shoplifters feel that they are able to steal clothing with little resistance they will wipe a store out.  This is why it is imperative that retailers invest in clothing security tags.

Checkpoint tags are time tested and reliable clothing security tags.  Checkpoint tags can create the necessary obstacle to shoplifting a clothing store needs.  I have seen the durability of the Checkpoint tags; they are unable to simply be improperly removed from clothing.  This is one of the most important qualities of a dependable security tag.  When the Checkpoint tags are firmly affixed to the clothing perspective shoplifters will have their work cut out trying to remove them without damaging the item they are trying to steal.  Shoplifters know that damaging the item they are shoplifting will mean they will be unable to sell them.  It is important for retailers to stay ahead of the shoplifters.  Utilizing Checkpoint tags when placing security tags on clothes as part of an overall clothing security strategy is simply smart business.

Retailers have lost billions of dollars over the years as a result of retail theft.  Clothing retailers have been hit especially hard.  There is currently no reason to believe that trend is changing.  Every year retailers stand to lose needed profit from a preventable problem.  Clothing retailers have found a remedy to aid in their fight against retail theft within their stores.  Clothing retailers are utilizing Checkpoint tags.  Checkpoint tags are some of the highest quality clothing security tags on the market.  Clothing retailers know that clothing security has to be a priority.

Clothing security starts when the retailer places security tags on clothes.  The clothing security tags in conjunction with a clothing alarm will alert a retailer of any customer that is attempting to steal their clothing.  A clothing alarm will give an audible alert that will inform any sales associate and customer in the area that something is not right.  When a clothing alarm is triggered it creates an embarrassing situation for a shoplifter and usually leads to them exiting the store.

Checkpoint tags have long been the standard in clothing security tags.  Retailers are aware that placing security tags on clothes should be done.  Retailers know that the ramifications for not placing security tags on clothes can be extensive.  A loss of valuable inventory due to theft can mean thousands in lost revenue.  The inability to keep your shelves stocked with the latest fashion because shoplifters are taking them as fast as you place them on the sales rack can lead to lost customers.  Customer loyalty can be pushed to the limit when they are simply unable to find what they want at your store.  These are some of the ramifications of not placing security tags on clothes. The benefits of increasing clothing security far outweigh the modest investment in clothing security tags.

We are frequently asked what the difference between Alpha High Theft Solution devices that have 1 Alarm, 2 Alarm and 3 Alarm features. In the clothing security world we can use those devices in conjunction with a clothing alarm and regular security tags. These devices are used for merchandise that we have a more serious problem with or that shoplifters have targeted that may not be able to utilize traditional security tags on clothes.

Alpha Security 1 Alarm – These types of clothing security tags or devices will only trigger the antennas at the doors. A regular hard tag or label will do this. However, Alpha also has Spider Wraps, Cable Loks and other items that will cause an alarm.

Alpha Security 2 Alarm – A 2 alarm device will do what a 1 alarm device does plus it will “self-alarm”. Self-alarm means that if a shoplifter tries to remove the device, cut the cables, pry the device off or damage it the device itself will go into alarm. These 2 alarm devices have a built in sounder that produces about 90 dB of sound. That will immediately draw attention to the shoplifter. Normal repeated use by customers and store personnel will not cause an alarm. These devices are very robust.

Alpha Security 3 Alarm – These devices do everything that a 1 and 2 alarm device does plus when the shoplifter tries to leave the property the 3 alarm devices built in sounder, again about 90 dB goes off. The shoplifter then has a choice they can run down the street or mall with this sounder going off, attracting attention to themselves or they can drop the merchandise. The sounder will last up to 10 minutes once the shoplifter passes through the antennas.

These clothing security tags are as robust as any Checkpoint tags or Alpha clothing security device. They have excellent construction, solid plastic welds and high quality electronic components. Of course the added benefit is that they are reusable over and over saving you money and labor. Alpha High Theft Solutions are not intended to be for all merchandise. It is clearly more cost effective to use Checkpoint tags for the bulk of your merchandise. But remember your clothing alarm is only as good as the security tags on clothes.

Checkpoint tags make protecting your clothing an easy task.  No longer is clothing security a tedious undertaking.  Checkpoint tags provide retailers with a reliable product to use when placing security tags on clothes.  The use of clothing security tags makes it easy to present a visible deterrent to anyone thinking of stealing a store’s merchandise.  Checkpoint tags are easily attached to clothing.

Clothing security tags have two components, the tag itself, which is highly visible on the clothing and the pin, which locks it in place on the clothing.  When this simple two step process is followed when placing security tags on clothes, your clothing security improves instantly.  A clothing alarm can also be used in this fashion.  Usually a clothing alarm is used to give an audible alert when merchandise is tampered with or being removed from the store without being purchased.  I have seen great results with both clothing security tags and a clothing alarm.

While working as a loss prevention associate I remember when I had to push for more protection for our high dollar product line.  The clothing security in the store needed to be upgraded to include clothing alarms and all the clothes needed clothing security tags. I had store associates place security tags on clothes that did not previously have security tags on them.

About a week after  the store had implemented the changes, a shoplifter attempted to do a grab and run, however when he grab an expensive jacket and ran for the door the alarm sounded and security responded immediately, this cause the shoplifter to drop the merchandise and run for the car, which was waiting outside.  Unfortunately when the person in the waiting car heard the clothing alarm they pulled off and left the suspect behind.  This simple act of improving clothing security paid off almost immediately.
