Preventing theft is easier with clothing security tags and a clothing alarm. Retailers worldwide know the true value of clothing security tags and work to ensure they have the latest technology.

I worked with a store manager that didn’t see the need for security tags on clothes. He was pretty certain he could stop theft simply by controlling the amounts of merchandise on the salesfloor. By his thought process, all he had to do was limit the high dollar merchandise on the sales floor, and theft would be stopped altogether. True to some extent, limiting stock on the sales floor does help; however, the merchandise is still out there and even less available to paying customers. Clothing security tags would help, but without the dedicated efforts of the manager, no program would be successful.

During my visits, I encourage all members of management and employees to execute the clothing security tags program available to them and follow through with any clothing security efforts. Security tags on clothes offer the ability to maximize merchandise exposure, yet reduce the risk of theft. Security tags on clothes, as part of a clothing security program will positively impact sales and reduce shrink. In a world where customer theft is on the rise, security tags on clothes are a vital part of the business.

Had my partner manager been receptive to security tags on clothes, he might not have had such a poor inventory nor had a shrink rate greater than 3%. Clothing security certainly would have made a dent in that shrink number but he was stubborn and determined not to have any clothing security. Ultimately, his way of thinking hurt his career.

As a recommendation to any clothing retailer, clothing security is the most effective way to protect you merchandise and boosts your profits. Don’t be like this store manager, take clothing security serious, protect your assets, increase your sales and be a responsible retailer.

Have you considered clothing security? It’s highly possible that since you haven’t been finding tags on the floor or in shelves that you don’t think you have a theft problem. Guess again! I have helped work several cases in which the shoplifter goes to a quiet corner of the business, and then pulls out their own shopping bags to stuff with unprotected clothing they have selected. The shoplifter then simply walks out of the doors of the business, having the appearance of having paid for the merchandise they are carrying.

This is becoming an increasingly common way to shoplift, especially with the popularity of reusable shopping bags that the customer can bring into the store. However, if your business uses security tags on clothes, this type of theft can be deterred.

A shoplifter wants to be able to grab what they want and get our of the store quickly without notice. By having clothing security tags, it’s possible for you to proactively combat not only this common shoplifting trend, but any type of theft trick a shoplifter may have up their sleeve.

Clothing security tags are small tough plastic tags that can not be removed without a special key. When security tags on clothes are accompanied by a clothing alarm at the front of the store. A shoplifter doesn’t stand a chance of getting out of your store without paying for their goods.

When a shoplifter knows that you have a clothing alarm for your business, he or she will move on to the next, unprotected business. That is exactly what you want to happen. Word then spreads that your business utilizes clothing security, therefore it is not the appealing target to shoplifters that other businesses may be. So the shoplifters go to the unprotected businesses, and the honest customers come to you.

No matter how a shoplifter chooses to steal what they desire clothing security tags are a great deterrent and a worthwhile investment. A shoplifter needs to opportunity to steal from you, and without that opportunity, the theft cannot happen. Clothing security gets rid of that opportunity, and protects your merchandise at the same time.

Shoplifters come in all shapes and sizes you never know what to expect with them so the only way to truly stop them is clothing security.  They work alone, in pairs, or in large groups.  And as I’ve discovered after working in the loss prevention field, they can be extremely skilled at what they do and will always try to stay one step ahead of being caught.

If you operate a business that sells clothing,  you need to consider clothing security in order to increase your bottom line and reduce losses due to theft.  Security tags on clothes can be an extremely useful tool in the fight to keep your clothing available for those who wish to purchase it, instead of allowing it to walk out your doors at the hands of a shoplifter.

Shoplifters may stuff clothing in their bags, inside of other items or under their own clothing.  They may also be bold enough to just grab a handful of clothing and walk out of your business.  However they choose to steal, using clothing security tags, will sound a clothing alarm if they try to go past your doors without paying for your merchandise.

When shoplifters are deciding whether or not to steal from you, they look for security measures such as clothing alarm s by the doors and security tags on clothes.  Unsecured clothing is much easier to steal than it is to worry about activating a clothing alarm.  Shoplifters rely on anonymity in order to get away with the crime, and activating a  loud clothing alarm will make anonymity difficult.  They do not want to get your attention – they just want to get your merchandise.

Clothing security tags,  when displayed on your high theft merchandise, allow for increased sales instead of increased theft.  That is a minimal investment with a substantial return in profit.

A clothing alarm system consists of several components. This equipment all comes together to form a barrier to shoplifters. Good customers are not bothered and generally don’t notice that you have a clothing alarm system. Good customers are not thinking about shoplifting therefore they do not concern themselves with these issues.

The first part of the system is the antennas at the customer doors. Some companies also place antennas at the entrances to the restrooms. This denies shoplifters the privacy to try to remove the security tags on clothes. The antennas are placed in line with the doorframe on both sides of the door. Clothing alarm systems can generally be configured to work with any doorway. When a shoplifter attempts to steal your merchandise the clothing security tags cause the antennas to alarm.

The clothing security tags are placed on your merchandise by your staff. Security tags on clothes make that item unremovable from the store until your staff removes it at checkout. Clothing security tags come in more variations than you can imagine. However, there is a huge difference in quality. Lesser quality security tags on clothes have poor construction; edges that are not smooth and can snag the very fabric they are protecting. Many are very bulky and have poor performance. We see many types of clothing security tags that can simply be pried apart with a pocketknife or paper clip. This is why it is important to invest in the quality of the clothing security you choose.  Security tags on clothes are held in place with a pin. Pins come in various lengths depending on you needs. Some bulky clothing requires a longer pin.

Last but not least in the clothing security world is the detacher. Detachers are generally a key by your cash/wrap so the shoplifter cannot steal them. When a cashier wants to remove clothing security tags they simply hold the tag up to the detacher and the pin is released. Clothing security is a simple yet effective way to shut down the shoplifters in your store.

Recently I read about a theft in my city from several businesses in a mall. There is one common factor among the victim stores – they did not have security tags on clothes. The suspect, female, was caught and arrested after an alert store employee noticed the woman leaving with merchandise and coming back in the store for more. When police searched the woman’s car, however, they found it full of merchandise that the suspect had stolen and taken to her car before returning for more. She had, essentially, successfully stolen those items and would have been able to get away with the crime if she had not been greedy and gone back for more.

Much of the merchandise stolen was from clothing stores. There was no clothing alarm or clothing security to alert store employees that the thefts were occurring. Because of the these stores lack of clothing security they suffered thousands of dollars of loss that was fortunately recovered – this time. And if the crime hadn’t been discovered while in progress…those thousands would be lost.

Had these stores been utilizing clothing security tag, they may not have even been targeted by this individual. Additionally, had this thief entered the stores with the intent to steal, she may have changed her mind when she realized that there were plenty of clothing security precautions in place including security tags on clothes. Once she was able to get in and out of these businesses successfully one time without drawing attention, it was fair game. When a clothing alarm and clothing security tags are used this is no easy task.

This tale of theft has a happy ending since the bad gal went to jail. But for every shoplifter apprehended there are many more that are successfully stealing from businesses. By protecting the clothing that you sell using clothing security tags, you’re making a minimal investment that can have magnificent rewards.

The business I work for recently went through its yearly inventory, as this is quite an endeavor for such a large retail store, the results of which make our efforts to prevent shoplifting apparent. Needless to say, the clothing alarm and security tags on clothes were greatly appreciated.

Do you stress about your business’s inventory?  Inventory can show your actual loss on paper, down to the dollar, of what merchandise you sell that is unaccounted for.  There are multiple variables that affect these results, but shoplifting is definitely one component.

For businesses that sell clothing, inventory can be a wake-up call for one to really see what is walking out of the doors at the hands of shoplifters.  Clothing security tags are one tool that can be utilized to help reduce the shrink you are seeing when you look at your inventory results.

Clothing is high theft and easy to conceal.  Clothing security, such as security tags on clothes, help by being a visual deterrent to the would-be shoplifter.  Additionally, a clothing alarm will sound if the merchandise starts to go out of your doors, alerting your staff.

The numbers are right in front of you after you take an inventory of the clothing you sell.  Are those shrink numbers larger than you feel they need to be?  Are you a little frightened that so much of your merchandise is unaccounted for?  Clothing security tags can show real results when it comes to decreasing shrink and improving your in-stock.

You cannot earn a profit without having merchandise to sell.  Clothing security can help keep your merchandise around for your honest customers to purchase.  Clothing security tags can also tell those thinking about shoplifting to move on to a store with unprotected merchandise.

Head off those shrink dollars with a minimal investment in clothing security tags.

Once you have decided to purchase a clothing security system for your store, there are a few things that you should know about the functionality of your system. The clothing alarm system creates a RF (radio frequency) field around your entryway to detect the clothing security tags that you have placed on the merchandise. The security tags on clothes are tuned to 8.2 MHz, which although it is a unique frequency, does not mean that they are the only items in your store that can be giving off an 8.2 MHz signal.

When your clothing security system was installed by a Checkpoint certified technician, they took the time to look for and correct any “interference” that might have been present at the time. As time goes on, some clothing alarm systems could experience false alarms or what we like to call “phantoms”. There are many reasons that this could occur but it is doubtful that it is something broken with the system itself. If your system is alarming, it is detecting 8.2 MHz. The most common causes for false alarms are due to changes in the environment, whether clothing security tags are placed too close to the antenna or a door that has settled or warped due to age and use. This is why it is important to have a preventative maintenance plan for your clothing security system. As the merchandise and the building itself changes, so will your clothing alarm system.

You will want to ensure that your staff is trained on how to attach and properly detach the security tags on clothes. Insufficiently trained staff can cause both yourself and your customer a lot of headaches. It is very important to keep your clothing security system functioning properly because if there is a problem where false alarms start happening employees will all too often start to ignore any alarms. Clothing alarm systems are most effective when they are incorporated with knowledgeable employees and a quick response.

I’m certain clothing alarm developers had a wide vision of stopping loss when they created this little piece of clothing security history. A clothing alarm is an excellent way to keep the thieves at bay and give your profits that extra boost.

The first time I had seen a clothing alarm was at a discount clothing retailer. Speaking with my business partner, he showed me just how this new form of clothing security worked. Once a clothing security tag is affixed to the article, it cannot be removed without a key from the register. If the clothing security tags are tampered with, or if someone attempts to remove the device without the proper removal key, the clothing alarm activates. What a step up in clothing security. At first, I thought the security tags on clothes might be ineffective, but when I heard the alarm, it was certainly loud enough to take away the thief’s privacy and notify any available employee to the area.

This retailer was very well protected. It was no wonder this store was always busy and very profitable. They had all aspects of the business right, including clothing security.

Looking at this business, the store also had a well-executed clothing security tags program. Many times, I have seen a new business with a large and proper supply of clothing security tags, yet they sat in the receiving room unused. Security tags on clothes can only assist your business and boost your profits if they’re used. It’s pointless and somewhat irresponsible for a business owner or manager to invest in security tags on clothes and not ensure compliance. As a matter of fact, clothing security tags get damaged, lost, misused, abused and trashed by sitting around in backrooms. Not to mention, it kills your stores profitability. Invest in a clothing security program and FOLLOW THROUGH!

Here are a few thoughts that might pass through a potential shoplifter’s mind when you have a clothing security system.

Just the fact that you have a clothing alarm system will visually deter a high percentage of shoplifters. When a casual shoplifter walks into your store and notices that you have a clothing security system, they probably won’t even attempt to steal from you. They will go to a store that does not have an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) system or security tags on clothes.

For the savvier thief, they might test to see if the clothing alarm system will alarm if an item that has not been purchased presented to the system. These people will take an item that they are potentially going to steal and walk by the system without trying to leave, to see if the system will alarm. If you were to have a “dummy” system at your front door to only visually deter people, this is where it would fail you. Once one person knows that your system does not work properly, then you might as well put a sign up saying that it doesn’t. Thieves will tell their friends and the word will spread through the underbelly of society quicker than you can imagine.

When the clothing security system passes the test and goes into alarm the shoplifter will realize that they have brought attention to themselves and probably return the item to the nearest shelf and leave. The only option that the shoplifter would have left is to try and remove the clothing security tags. Security tags on clothes are not easily removed and can draw attention to the illegal act that they are trying to perform.

This is why clothing alarm systems, combined with an attentive and knowledgeable staff will allow you to watch your retail loss shrink in front of your very eyes.
