The stand alone retail business really faces tough clothing security challenges. I’ve seen quite a few that have lost millions of dollars to theft as a result of poor clothing security (no security tags on clothes) and inefficient physical security.

One retail clothing chain of 5 stores had a standalone store in a tough part of the city. This store had all kinds of challenges. Multiple exits, multiple registers at only one side of the store, few associates available for customer service and no clothing security.

For retailers like these, I’ve found it imperative to the success of the business that clothing security tags are considered somewhere in the business plan. In the world of dollars and cents, a retailer trying to save dollars by not executing a clothing security tags strategy makes no sense.

Back to the standalone retailer, this store notified me each and every time they had witnessed or experienced a shoplifter. At the end of one day, I had received over 50 calls… from one store. Something dramatic had to be done to protect this store from closing forever. I made recommendations to the management and spoke with those in the position to make the decision to implement a clothing security program and put clothing security tags on much of the valuable merchandise in the store. My team and I showed the company the process for installing security tags on clothes and then merchandising the items their exact standard. Additionally, the managers were able to get hands on and experience the process of positioning the clothing security tags on the merchandise. They too agreed, the process was pretty simple and with the right management, could really benefit their business. Security tags on clothes; along with solid clothing security strategy is what this store has needed.

We recently dealt with a shoplifter that stole a bunch of merchandise, including clothing.  She decided, after already providing her identification and returning the stolen merchandise that she was not going to wait for the police.  So she ran from the loss prevention office, out into the parking lot, and hid under a semi truck parked there.  She waited patiently then until police arrived.

While this behavior was strange, it all worked out in the end.  The clothing was returned, and the shoplifter went to jail.  While this behavior after being apprehended might not be common when all shoplifters are caught, the fact that she was stealing clothing was very common.  With clothing security tags, however, this type of theft can be prevented.

Security tags on clothes act as a visual deterrent to the potential shoplifter.  A clothing alarm makes a statement that you take the security of your merchandise seriously, and that a shoplifter should not try to challenge your proactive approach to loss prevention.

Clothing without clothing security is asking to be stolen, but your business does not have to be a victim to these types of thefts.  It is extremely frustrating to realize the extent of loss due to theft.  With security tags on clothes you have an outlet to funnel that frustration into protective measures.

Whether they hide under a semi or jump into a Lexus with the clothing that you sell, that they just shoplifted, you can stop these shoplifters in their tracks with security tags on clothes.  Clothing security tags are up for the challenge and ready to get to work for you.

Security tags on clothes are an important part of the retail world. In a tough economy, shoplifting increases and so does the need for clothing security.

Clothing security has always been somewhat of a strategy used by many retail loss prevention and operations departments. Providing the necessary clothing security tools was another challenge. Many times, retailers failed to execute the necessary methods to ensure clothing security tags in their business remained effective. Today, the retailer is faced with the challenge of a lagging economy. Sales for many are not easy to come by. Protecting their assets has never been more important.

Security tags on clothes can seem like another item to worry about in the store. In reality, the focus of the management should be on clothing security tags and ensuring all necessary departments are outfitted with security tags on clothes.

Just the other day, I was visiting a store. The manager told me about the small clothing business next store frantically trying to recover merchandise from a shoplifter, with little luck. Apparently, the clothing store manager had witnessed a couple of thieves stuffing apparel into bags. After about 30 minutes, the thieves made their way to the front of the store where they exited. The manager followed. The thieves ran, and the manager gave chase, leaving his store unsupervised and putting himself in a dangerous situation.

This manager left his store to chase after a couple that had just demonstrated criminal activity. Earlier in the year, he refused to put security tags on clothes and felt that his store needed no clothing security. Upon his returning to the store, he was told by the lone cashier that another person had just run out of the store after they witnessed the manager leave.
Talk about chicken with their head cut off. A simple clothing security program involving putting security tags on clothes would have saved this manager a whole lot of frustration.

Ahhh, the world of a shoplifter.  Free merchandise, for personal use or perhaps for resale.  Grab and go, or conceal and casually walk out.  No matter how a person chooses to steal, shoplifting is out there, and it is a major problem for businesses.

Clothing is one of the most shoplifted items.  Everyone needs it, and it is reasonably easy to steal.  It can be bunched up inside of a purse, taken into a fitting room and then put on under the shoplifter’s own clothing, or bold thieves may just grab an armful of clothing and run out the nearest exit.

Business owners do not have to live in this world of theft and mayhem, however.  Clothing security, such as security tags on clothes, is a great way to fight this type of crime.  Clothing security tags are visible to the shoplifter, and offer a deterrent to those thinking about stealing from you.  Also, if clothing security tags go past your doors, an alarm sounds.  That is attention that most shoplifters do not want to experience.

Shoplifters tend to target higher priced and sought after clothing that they would like to have but do not wish to pay for.  By having a clothing alarm, you as a business owner can feel confident in the clothing security that you have invested in for your business.  Clothing security tags are most definitely a worthwhile investment for your business.

Adding to your bottom line, increasing profits, decreasing losses, and creating better in-stock for your customers are all good goals to have.  These goals can be met with an investment in clothing security and security tags on clothes for your business.

Security tags on clothes are a great investment for many retailers. Offering a wide selection of styles and benefits suiting the needs of the retailers, security tags on clothes are a recommended solution.

Let’s talk a little about “after the fact”. Particularly inventory. Let’s say you’ve just conducted an inventory. The numbers comeback, not so good and looking back over the year of business, what could you have done to better boost your profits and protect your assets? If you haven’t invested in a clothing security program, you’re fighting a losing battle.

Creating an action plan for your store is your next step. This plan should include what your business is gonna do over this next inventory cycle to impact the negative shrink. When preparing your plan, execute each step as you go along. For example, your store lost a large amount in women’s or young women’s jeans. You action plan should include “implementing clothing security program.” You sales associates and managers cannot provide the necessary clothing security alone. They need help, or your business will suffer the same fate, or get worse.

Clothing security, basically, requires your staff to simply attached security tags on clothes. Attaching these security tags on clothes will most certainly provide your business with the strategic initiatives to fight shrink. It’s interesting to me, seeing the large numbers o retailers that still do not provide any sort of clothing security. Just the other day, I walked into a smaller retailer, specialty shop. Although I knew nothing of this store, I could immediately tell they were in over their heads. They were trying to fight loss by over staffing and not utilizing the tools they obviously had. Security tags on clothes were obviously present, but the program was not being executed.

Shoplifting has been around since there were stores to steal from.  And from as early on as when Adam and Eve wore leaves, people needed clothing.  Some people just do not like to pay for their clothing, preferring instead to steal it.

Clothing security is a worthwhile investment for those businesses that would like to scale back the levels of loss they are experiencing due to shoplifting.  Shoplifters steal clothing in a variety of ways, and some are difficult to prevent.  Shoplifters may take items into your fitting rooms and then put them on under their own clothes.  They also may place clothing into their purses or pockets. The shoplifter may just grab an armful of clothes off of the rack and run out of the door.

Security tags on clothes can help prevent all of these types of thefts.  Shoplifters will be reluctant to take clothes with a clothing alarm into a fitting room and put it on, for fear of sounding an alarm when they leave the store.  Clothing security tags are also meant only to be removed with a special key when the item is purchased, so the potential shoplifter knows he or she is probably not going to be able to get the tag off of the clothing in order to steal it.  Additionally, even a grab and go shoplifter is leery of clothing security if there is a risk that an alarm will sound when he or she is making their quick get-away.

We would like to be able to stop every possible type of theft that our businesses can experience.  An effective step in that direction is by investing in clothing security.  Having security tags on clothes allows for your business to prosper and profit, not suffer extreme losses due to theft.

When a business invests in clothing security tags, they are not just trying to reduce theft.  That business is taking a vested interest in reducing their losses so that they can offer their products at lower prices.

Some customers may or may not realize that when a business suffers a loss due to theft, that loss has to be recouped somewhere.  The end result of shoplifting, unfortunately, is higher prices for honest, paying customers.  All consumers end up paying the price for those who choose to shoplift.

Clothing is considered a high theft item, whether it is higher end clothing or more moderately priced items.  It is easy to steal, easy to conceal, and everyone needs it.  It can be stolen then returned for cash or store credit, or sold on online auction sites for 100% profit.  No matter what the reason shoplifters choose to steal clothing, this loss exists and can be huge for businesses.

Clothing security is an effective deterrent when businesses decide that they have suffered enough loss from thieves.  Clothing security tags can be added to the clothing that you sell, which tells the shoplifter that it is going to be more difficult to steal these items.

Even if your customers do not realize it, you can be comforted by knowing that you are doing what you can to reduce your losses in order to keep your prices reasonable.

Security tags on clothes do not take away from the look of your displayed clothing, yet they sound an alarm if they are being stolen.  Additionally, they offer a visual deterrent to those shoplifters that are scoping out your business.  Shoplifters do not want to draw attention, and the thought of having to try to remove clothing security tags, or risking sounding a clothing alarm, is not worth the effort.

Over the years, clothing security has proven much less of a challenge than what was previously thought. Clothing security sounds like a daunting, or even scary task. The name alone can invoke a sense of uneasiness, “Clothing Security”. What does that mean?

As I observed the salesfloor from the “catwalk” of one way mirrors at a national clothing store, clothing security was the last thing I was interested in. I wanted to catch shoplifters. In my young mind, I thought “Take what you think you’ll get away with, I’ll catch you.” A point I didn’t really understand until a couple of years later as I grew in loss prevention. Catching shoplifters is a big part of security, but it is impossible to catch every single dirtbag that steals from you.

Later, the realities of clothing security included attaching security tags on clothes. Security tags on clothes; significantly, helps deter the shoplifters I couldn’t catch. I’ve always thought of security tags on clothes as my loss prevention partner. Working clothing stores as a loss prevention agent, I found I could count on security tags on clothes to assist me in preventing theft and loss and watched the areas of merchandise I couldn’t.

A few years ago I read a book written from the shoplifter’s point of view. The writer gave detailed instructions on how to steal, what to do when confronted by security and what to avoid when shoplifting. The writer, an experienced thieve in my opinion, mentioned security tags on clothes and the hassle they provide if your intent as a shoplifter includes getting out of the store unnoticed. He goes on more specifically telling his followers to “case” stores with no clothing security tags. He actually tells these people to wander from store to store looking for clothing stores with no clothing security tags. Are there really stores out there without clothing security tags?

I searched on the internet for “clothing security tags” and found a website in which shoplifters posted their tips for shoplifting clothing.  The amusing thing was that some of the posts lamented the fact that when there are security tags on clothes, it is much more difficult to shoplift.  Several also posted that they would not try to steal from businesses that had this type of clothing security.

Professionals can argue all day long about the benefits of clothing security tags, and how they will save you money by decreasing your losses due to clothing theft.  It was inspiring, however, to read that the shoplifters feel the same way.  That offers some credibility to your clothing security when shoplifters are openly posting that they are leery of the measures chosen to prevent clothing theft.

Security tags on clothes truly are a benefit to businesses.  They offer a physical deterrent by being visible to the potential shoplifter.  Clothing security tags also serve as a clothing alarm, alerting management that clothing is leaving your business without being purchased.  Clothing security tags can prevent the theft of clothing in your business and reduce the losses associated with this type of theft.  Just ask the shoplifters – some tend to agree.

We all want our businesses to generate a profit, which can be especially challenging in today’s market.  When searching for ways to prevent the theft of clothing, consider clothing security tags.   Even the shoplifters recognize that theft is much more difficult when there are security tags on clothes.

I was recently involved in researching on video a customer that we believed was stealing clothing in order to return it for money.  She had multiple returns she had conducted without a receipt, going to several different stores and using more than one identification.  She was finally apprehended for shoplifting clothing, but not before returning some of what she had already stolen and receiving cash.

There are ways that thefts like this can be prevented.  Clothing security tags are a great deterrent to this type of stealing for profit scheme.  Clothing security not only provides a visual deterrent, but an audible one should the shoplifter attempt to leave your business without purchasing the items with a clothing alarm.

Security tags on clothes are well worth the investment, when you consider what a thief like the one mentioned above could cost a company.  If shoplifters are able to make such an easy profit stealing, there is nothing stopping them from stealing over and over again, until they are caught.  Most jobs don’t pay as well as what these shoplifters can make if they steal clothing for resale or return.

Do not allow yourself to be a victim.  Investing in security tags on clothes is a way to protect the merchandise that you would like to offer for sale to your honest customers.  No matter what the reason a shoplifter may have for why he or she would like to steal the clothing that you sell, it is much more difficult when there are clothing security tags.  We would all like to make a shoplifter’s life a little more difficult, wouldn’t we?

Remember the key to a clothing security program is a clothing alarm .
