Add Some Clarity – Alpha Shark Tags

May 26, 2014 by Leave a Comment
 When you clarify your return policy, customers have a better chance of understanding what they can and cannot do even before a purchase is made. It is easier to retain your customer base when they understand what the ground rules are. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to make a legitimate return, only to find out that the store will not allow it because they are more concerned about wardrobing than taking care of their customer.
That means you need to make sure your return policy is clear and concise, while still deterring wardrobing retail. A few examples are to start with posting your return policy in writing where the customer can see it. You can reinforce this by printing it on the back of the receipt, or adding a second attachment that has the return policy on it.
Secondly educate your employees to educate your customers. Have them verbally explain the policy as the customer is making their purchase. This is especially crucial if they are buying something that has special return considerations like a shortened time frame or all items must be in their original packaging. This is also the best time to describe what the Alpha Shark Tags are, why they are on the clothing, and how it affects the customer’s ability to return the item later on.

Protect Your Glasses With Eyewear Tags- Security Tags on Clothes

May 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Eyewear Tags are small attachments that fit on the earpieces of prescription glasses and sunglasses. The Eyewear Tag provides durable construction with a protective cushion that securely holds and protects eyewear. Having this innovation in clothing security is a huge win for any business that carries these glasses.
Training your employees on how to use and reuse them will be a breeze. They are easy to apply and remove, and easily reused for the next pair of glasses that comes into your inventory.
They come in two sizes in RF technology and three sizes in AM technology, both of which are common industry standard forms of clothing alarms. This makes it even easier for this new clothing security to seamlessly incorporate with existing clothing alarm found in your store.
Even better for you and your customers is how small and unobtrusive the Eyewear Tags really are. As with any other security tags on clothes, you wouldn’t want to inconvenience your customers in the name of theft prevention. The tags are fitted so the flat side is inward- eliminating bulk for when a customer is trying the glasses on.
As with many accessories, glasses have always been problematic in trying to protect form shoplifters. Now you can, as they say, protect this year’s hottest sunglasses and prescription eyewear with the Eyewear Tag.

An Uncomfortable Silence- Checkpoint Tags

May 22, 2014 by Leave a Comment
If you walked out the exit door triggering the alarm because you had active Checkpoint tags on some merchandise with you, what would your employees do? Would they come over to deactivate the tags? Would they validate the receipt?
Would they simply ignore the alarm and continue on with what they are doing? That uncomfortable silence emanating from your employees can do more harm than you may realize.
What we often forget about is how to train our employees in responding to clothing alarms generated by security tags on clothes. Any alarm that is not responded to is a signal to potential thieves that no one cares about the alarm activations. If no one cares, than it is easier for a thief to steal and not worry about the consequences of getting caught.
That is where training your employees on the expectations are critical. It doesn’t matter how many times an alarm goes off, if no one responds, all of your time and effort to tag the merchandise is rendered useless.
More often than not, the reason why employees disregard the alarms is because they do not feel comfortable with how to respond. By properly training them and showing them your own example of how to respond, your alarm activations will be much more productive.

The Necessity Of Strategic Placement- Wardrobing Tags

May 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment
One of the more common items that men will buy, wear and then return (referred to in the industry as wardrobing) is a necktie. Just as a woman wants to have a new dress for each occasion she goes to, men want to update their looks to. A quality tie can sometimes run you just as much as a women’s special occasion dress can.
Wardrobing Tags are a great solution. The attachment pins are delicate enough to not snag even fine silk.
If the tag is properly attached to the upper end of the lower third of the tie, the Alpha Shark Tags will not be hidden even when the tie is tied around the purchaser’s neck.
This strategic placement is key to success. If the wardrobing tags are to low, or on the wrong end, the tag can be hidden from view, rendering it ineffective against wardrobing retail. In most cases, it would be extremely easy for a man to hide the tags through some strategic knot tying on their part. Similarly, they could be sandwiched between the two ends of the tie, and sealed with a tie clip if they are placed on the wrong (skinny back side) of the necktie.
Once you figure out the sweet spot of the tag placement, you will have no problems maintaining this deterrent against wardrobing.

Brand, Save, Eliminate – Clothing Security Tags

May 17, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When a boutique re-brands their clothing, they are usually taking other designer’s clothing and eliminating these logos and other identifying tags. The boutique will then sew in their own tags and logos; effectively creating their own in house brand of clothing and merchandise. Fortunately for these small boutiques, this re-branding process is a prefect time to add clothing security tags.
There are clothing security tags (Checkpoint Tags) that are sew in labels. These tags are a soft, paper label that is embedded inside a taffeta pouch. The labels are also customizable, which can further reinforce the boutiques brand and image. Since the tags are paper that can be seen through the taffeta pouch, any logo or other branding is easily printed onto the face of the tag.
The tags are highly efficient from a labor and payroll perspective as the labels are sewn into the garment at the same time the boutique’s labels and tags are sewn in. Thus they are saving time and effort.
Finally, the labels are harder for a shoplifter to find and remove. Most shoplifters are looking for a hard plastic tag on a sleeve or the bottom of a garment. These labels are placed on the inside of the garment, on the back with the brand label.

Wardrobing Vs. Return Fraud- Wardrobing Retail

May 14, 2014 by Leave a Comment
All wardrobing is a form of return fraud. That does not mean that all return fraud equates to wardrobing. Even though the use of Alpha Shark Tags is proven to reduce wardrobing retail, they should not be confused as a blanket solution to prevent all return fraud.
I had an employee who was secretly getting ready to start a new job with a different company. She needed business attire but didn’t have the money to completely replace her entire wardrobe. So she came up with a plan to save money and have the clothes she needed.
She started to buy the clothes from our store with her employee discount. They had the regular EAS tags and the wardrobing tags. At the purchase, the EAS tags came off, and the wardrobing tags stayed on.
She would then come back to the store with the empty shopping bag. She would walk around the store and put identical items of the clothes she purchased into the bag and then return them with her receipt.
The returns employee never thought otherwise because she had a receipt and the Alpha Shark tags were still attached. It wasn’t after we noticed that she was returning 100% of her purchases that we started to investigate. If we continued to assume the returns were legitimate only because of the tags we would have continued to loose thousands of dollars from these fraudulent returns.

Who Does That Kind of Thing? – Wardrobing Retail

May 12, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Special occasion merchandise, like prom or cocktail dresses, is one of the biggest wardrobing targets. Next in line come accessories. You can’t have a gorgeous dress without being properly accessorized, you know. Finally comes work outfits and suiting. Job prospects will purchase a high quality suit for a job interview to impress the potential employer. Guess what happens if they don’t get the job?
You have the fashionista that is desperately trying to keep up with the latest trends, the high school prom go-er who wants a beautiful dress, but can’t afford it, and the ladies of society who wouldn’t be caught dead wearing the same thing twice.
Whether through society’s pressure or simply an internal desire to be better than the next, wardrobing is a way to stay ahead of the curb. In fact one in six women admit that they have done this before. One in eleven of those women do this on repeated occasions.
Many of these women will go to great lengths just to keep the merchandise in pristine condition so they can be assured of getting their full refund later. Since so few retailers use Alpha Shark Tags as a deterrent, it is easy to get away with. That just adds to these women’s ability to rationalize what they are doing and disregard that this is another form of refund fraud.

More Than One Holiday- Wardrobing

May 10, 2014 by Leave a Comment
 Wardrobing is a strong focus throughout the November/ December holiday season. Because of the strong presence of holiday parties, events and gatherings, an unfortunate number of consumers will attempt wardrobing their purchases. It is a way fro them to offset their gift buying or need for multiple outfits for multiple events.
What we are not focusing on is the lesser holidays that occur almost every month throughout the year.
Do you carry a special line of green for St. Patrick’s Day? How about fireworks themed or red, white and blue apparel for the Fourth of July? I would bet that you do.
Unfortunately, buyer’s remorse can often settle in with these holiday themed clothing items. Once the excitement of the day is passed, many shoppers realize the limits of the item they purchased. They know they would feel silly with a St. Pats shirt on in the middle of August, or a Halloween outfit in April. Even something as universal as a heart for Valentine’s day might seem out of place a month later.
It is then that these shoppers start to think about returning their purchase to get a refund. Since these holiday items are generally sold within a short span of time, the buyer would be within even a 30-day refund policy.
Using Alpha Shark Tags will help eliminate wardrobing holiday specific returns to your store.

On- line Ordering- Clothing Security

May 8, 2014 by Leave a Comment
As on line orders become increasingly popular, brick and mortar stores are scrambling to adapt to these new consumer shopping habits. One of the current trends is to allow customers to place their orders on line, and then pick up the merchandise in the store. With this change to shopping habits come changes to our clothing security.
The “old fashioned” way of shopping was a customer actually had to come into the store, select their items and carry them to the register to be rung up. Any clothing security tags were removed at this point of sale.
Now, the customer has already paid for their items, and the employees are the ones to gather the merchandise and take it to a central check out location/ customer service area. Here is where a decision needs to be made regarding the security tags on clothes.
Do you remove the Checkpoint tags now, in an effort to expedite the customers wait (a big part of why they shopped on line to begin with)? If so, you run the risk of shoplifting or employee theft of readily accessible items that have the clothing security already removed.
Or, you can leave the tags on, protecting your merchandise from this easy access, and run the risk of irritating the customer who is expecting a smooth and quick pick-up process?

Sticky Fingers- Checkpoint tags

May 5, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Checkpoint tags are proven to be effective clothing security when fighting against shoplifters. What we don’t always think about is how these clothing security tags are effective against the sticky fingers of our employees.
It might seem like it would be the opposite- an anti deterrent, if you will. Employees know all of our secrets; they hold the bag of tricks. They have a full awareness of how the clothing alarm works, where the security tags on clothes are, and how to deactivate them.
Our employees are the ones who have access to the deactivator pads and hand held devices.
So how would these checkpoint tags work against employee theft when they know everything about them?
The answer is that ALL of the employees have this same knowledge. That means for an employee to go up to a register to deactivate a tag and there are no customers around, or they don’t deactivate a tag and set the alarm off- employees will notice.
Trust me, your employees see more than what they often admit to. They take note when employees are late to work or take longer/ too many breaks. They know when someone is slacking and when someone is pulling their weight. They will know when an employee is doing something they shouldn’t.
While these employees may not recognize that it is employee theft, they will recognize something as wrong. They may not tell you, but they will call out the other employee themselves if they have to.
