Clothing Security Tags Prevent Shoplifting

The store associates placed clothing security tags on the merchandise as directed by their manager. Each of the clothing security tags were attached cleanly, neatly and positioned to be visible by customers.

The store was not yet open, and the manager was preparing for the day. As a seasoned professional working in a store in a tough area, she knew the importance of clothing security and determined to reduce shrink in her store and meet her sales numbers for the week and year. The manager spoke to other associates in the building and gave her routine morning speech. Touching on the topic of clothing security, the manager said clothing security tags helped protect merchandise in their store daily, and that it was very important for all associate to understand the need for clothing security and how it affects the overall performance of the store. She asked a couple of questions about clothing security tags, and got back the right answers. Her associates know clothing security is a big piece of the business.

The store opened for the day, the associates went to work and the manager got on with her administrative duties. Feeling comfortable about the associate awareness, she walked the sales floor and inspected the various areas requiring clothing security tags. She greeted customers, assisted others and help restock merchandise where needed.

Security tags on clothes combined with a solid manager, and receptive staff makes clothing security that much easier. Shoplifters like stores with no security, employees that are too busy to help customers and privacy. Security tags on clothes take away that privacy. If a thief can’t leave the store without a clothing alarm going off they will become too obvious for comfort.

As a loss prevention consultant, I always recommend security tags on clothes and a clothing alarm to any business selling clothing. I’ve never seen a benefit to any clothing retailer choosing to not use security tags on clothes. In fact, most retailers that went against security tags on clothes end up regretting their decision.

The Clothing Alarm versus No Clothing Alarm

Kind of an age old question, do I use a Clothing Alarm, or can I go with no Clothing alarm. If you’re a clothing retailer, I can give you some insight of the benefits of utilizing clothing security in your business.

Particularly for smaller clothing retailers, the benefits of using a clothing alarm far exceed the costs of the initial purchase. Sure it may sound like a lot of money, but you need to look at clothing security as a long term investment into your business.

I worked for a chain of stores, 6 stores in the entire chain. This private business was selling clothing and fast. However, growing just as fast as their business was shrink or inventory loss.  As most business owners and managers know, nothing kills sales and profitability faster than shrink. Hired as a consultant, I observed the operations of each store. I also monitored the customer traffic and crime statistics for each specific neighborhood. Reports from employees helped me build recommendations on clothing security that would be most beneficial.

As a demonstration, I showed the owners a clothing alarm, and attached it to merchandise. I recommended at least one store try on this clothing alarm on high risk/theft merchandise. Initially, the store was somewhat reluctant to spend any money for security tags on clothes and wondered if this was the right idea. Soon, their worries about clothing security tags went away. In one particular department and one line of high risk merchandise, in the 30 day trial period, the store had a 95% decrease in the merchandise lost or stolen. Look at this success, the owners gave the managers direction to put clothing security merchandise on items in other parts of the store. As time went on, the business owners were sold on security tags on clothes. Infact, they purchase enough of a supply to properly outfit each of their stores and each of their departments clothing security tags.

If you are a business owner or manager looking to enhance sales and boost profits, make clothing security a priority.

Security Tags on Clothes Offers Great Physical Deterrence

It’s true; security tags on clothes do offer physical deterrence. It interesting to me when I see new retailers selling clothing, yet have no form of clothing security.  I mean, really, security tags on clothes are cost effective, offer the visual deterrence needed to fend off the average thief and offer great protection against the pro’s with the tools. Why would you not use security tags on clothes?

The only rationale I can find is that some retailers are afraid of the initial cost of instituting a clothing security program. However, you have to look at the long term potential of a clothing security program. No one starts a clothing business expecting to close in just a few years. Just the same, you shouldn’t start a clothing business without clothing security.

In the many years I’ve worked loss prevention, I have seen only one business close. The closure was a direct result of merchandise loss. The owner ran a somewhat initially successful apparel retail chain of 4 stores. His model provided great merchandise and target low to moderate level incomes. In the areas he opened stores; crime rates were much higher than other areas. Yet, the owner felt it was unnecessary to implement clothing security. He felt a uniformed security guard would more benefit the store than security tags on clothes and a clothing alarm. Unfortunately, he could not see how security tags on clothes provide a visual and physical deterrence to thieves. Eventhough clothing security tags and a clothing alarm could offer a dramatic decrease in the amount of clothing loss he was experiencing, he refused to listen.

Had our efforts to provide his business with clothing security tags been successful, I’m certain his business would be thriving today. Now, understand, clothing security tags are not the “be all, end all”, but they do help prevent loss. In fact, one the biggest reasons, in my opinion, that large box clothing retailers have been successful in sales is a direct result of the merchandise protection they receive from clothing security tags.

Stay a step ahead of shoplifters with clothing security

Want to make a quick buck?  Some people do by stealing merchandise from businesses, then trying to return the merchandise for cash.  This type of theft can be deterred by requiring a receipt for refunds, but even then some thieves will just steal what they have on a receipt already, or even create a fake receipt.

It sometimes seems that the thieves are always one step ahead – but that does not have to be case.  If your business sells clothing, utilizing clothing security can be something that you can do to reduce your losses.  Clothing is simple to steal, and it is often targeted for those seeking to make a profit by committing return fraud.  By having security tags on clothes, you can reduce the appeal of your clothing to shoplifters without reducing its appeal to your honest and paying customers.

You will not find very many shoplifters that want to risk the clothing alarm sounding off in order to steal your merchandise.  Also, clothing security tags are a visual deterrent, which once seen scare some shoplifters enough to not even want to try to steal the clothing in your business.  That’s a good situation to create.

Your paying customers will not mind your using clothing security tags.  The security tags on clothes don’t take away from the visual appeal of your merchandise, and your customers can still handle the clothing and try it on as they would if it was unsecured.  What using clothing security will allow for is peace of mind for you, the business owner.

Using clothing security is going to make your business one step ahead of the shoplifters, instead of the other way around.

Return fraud can be stopped with Clothing Security

One scenario that I have seen in the retail theft prevention world is a “buy one get one free” type of scam. The customer comes into the business and buys items that he or she wants. Then the customer leaves and later returns to your business. He or she steals the exact items that they had previously purchased. Assuming that the shoplifter gets out of the store without being caught, the shoplifter can then return again with the stolen merchandise and return it for cash, since they have a “receipt.”

Businesses using clothing security can make this type of fraud more difficult for shoplifters. Clothing security tags, a great deterrent for thieves, and this type of scam is no exception. A shoplifter that is considering this return fraud is not going to want to have to figure out how to get around security tags on clothes just to return the stolen merchandise.

Return fraud of clothing is an easy way to earn some quick money. Clothing is easy to steal, especially if the business does not use clothing security. Returning the clothing to the business for cash, the shoplifter gets 100% profit with no monetary investment. Shoplifters can receive a pretty hefty payout for only a few minutes of work, so no wonder this type of scam is tempting.

You do not have to allow this to happen in your store. Security tags on clothes will be a worthwhile investment against shoplifters wanting to profit off of your loss. Shoplifters know that they cannot return merchandise that has these clothing security tags, also most do not want to even attempt the theft, knowing the risk of activating the clothing alarm. A quick buck isn’t worth the risk if you use clothing security. And when the thief can move on to the next unprotected business, why risk it?.

A Focus on Clothing Security Pays Off

It is a fact that the world we live in has shoplifting and theft and because of this clothing security is absolutely necessary.  No one business is exempt from these crimes, especially those that sell clothing.  It would be nice to only focus on driving our business, to make a profit while providing quality products.  However, in order to have that profit, a business owner must protect the assets that create the business in the first place.  In the clothing retail world, security tags on clothes are an option that can produce real results.

Clothing security tags are applied to your high theft clothing in your business.  These are removed at the time of purchase by employees at the register.  Many shoplifters are immediately deterred just by seeing the clothing alarm on your merchandise.  Security tags on clothes also make a shoplifter stop and think about the risks of either stealing merchandise with clothing security tags, or trying to remove the tag before leaving your business.

Shoplifters are only successful as long as they do not get caught.  Risking a clothing alarm sounding should they steal merchandise is often a risk many are not willing to take.  Shoplifters also thrive on not having any attention while they are in your business.  By having clothing security tags, the customer considering shoplifting may worry that if they mess with the security tags on clothes, they will get that attention that they are trying so desperately to avoid.

By focusing on clothing security business owners can, essentially, focus more on improving business without as much worry about what is being stolen.  The clothing security tags do the work of many employees by protecting your merchandise and deterring theft, while you can enjoy the rewards of decreased shrink and increased profitability.

Is your inventory telling you that there is supposed to be merchandise on your shelves that cannot be found? All of these can suggest that you are losing merchandise to shoplifters and thieves.

If you own or manage a business that sells clothing, there are types of clothing security available to help protect this highly sought after merchandise. In the retail environment I work in, we see clothing shoplifted on an almost daily basis. It is easy to conceal, therefore easier to steal. The use of Clothing security tags with a clothing alarm are some ways to help stop this downward spiral of profit loss.

Arming your store with a visible clothing alarm system at your entrance and exit, while using clothing security tagswill keep your clothing in your store for your customers to purchase.

By having visual deterrents like security tags on clothes and a clothing alarm, you can have a profound impact on your profitability by retaining the merchandise you wish to sell.

Professional shoplifters, also called boosters, are out there and target businesses that sell clothing.

Throw them off with a clothing alarm and clothing security tags, let them know you take the protection of your merchandise seriously.

If you aren’t utilizing clothing security tags you might as well say “Steal me” on the tag, next to the price that the shoplifter will not look at. But by using security tags on clothes you sell, you can send a different message to the shoplifter: “Plan to pay, or go away.”

Clothing Retailers Love the Clothing Alarm

Do clothing retailers really love the clothing alarm? I can’t say for sure, but I can tell you that since clothing security tags have been available for the clothing retailer, they have been a leader in clothing security standards.

The clothing alarm was a unique item the first time I saw one. I was fascinated at how little the clothing alarm was and affects it had at providing clothing security. Shoplifters look for the quick and easy way to get in and out of a store without being noticed. Outside of getting the merchandise, privacy is the key to a successful shoplift. The security tags on clothes take away that privacy. I will never forget the look on the face of the first shoplifter I saw attempt to defeat a clothing alarm. As I sat and watched on CCTV, a two man team entered the clothing department, jeans. They noticed the clothing security on the product but were unaware of the fact these guards were alarms. As one of the thieves worked on the device with pliers, the alarm activated. REEEEEK!!! The alarm sounded. Instantly the two shoplifters looked like keystone cops, running into each other attempting to get away from the merchandise as quickly as possible. Still as funny today as it was then.

If you are a new or existing clothing retailer, I encourage you to do your homework on clothing security. In fact, security tags on clothes are a great idea if you plan to stock large amounts of merchandise on the salesfloor. Clothing security tags are an obvious presence and may provide the visual deterrence your store may need. Security tags on clothes have been around for many years and will benefit your business. If you are in the market for clothing security, trust me… use clothing security tags.
