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.

That’s right, clothing security tags actually save the bottom line. Sure, the initial investment for a clothing security tags program is pricey, but your business is worth it. If you were planning to keep your doors open for only 5 years, I’d tell you “Why waste your money?” However, we both know your plan is to keep the doors open for many years to come and beyond. Clothing security tags help you keep those doors open.

Looking over the salesfloor of a recent apparel stores roll out of clothing security tags, I could almost feel the change in the air. The clothing security tags had finally been installed, and the employees and management were proud of their work. Clothing security had been somewhat nonexistent at this company and in fact they were losing thousands of dollars to theft and loss in the form of shrink each year. Employees and customer alike complained to the managers about the lack of clothing security, but their concerns fell on deaf ears. Security tags on clothes were too expensive, or there was no real value to having a clothing security program, according to them. In profitability meeting, it was pretty obvious the store was being cleaned out, whether by customers or employees; the absence of clothing security was showing its self on the P&L. The reaction, although delayed initially, was enacted and security tags on clothes were ordered throughout the store. Finally, clothing security program was here.

As word spread throughout the store and the local community of the stores security program and the fact security tags on clothes now made it more difficult to get out of the store unchallenged, the loss was significantly reduced. In the next P&L meeting, the management was able to show solid proof through inventory results, that security tags on clothes was the right choice and their proactive security strategy paid off.

Security tags on clothes make a great impression on your store. As a loss prevention manager, I enjoy walking into stores and seeing a well organized and executed clothing security program. Security tags on clothes give the impression of control and really showcase the stores management, sales team and organization. What customer wouldn’t want to shop in a store like that? Clothing security, when just thrown together, can really negatively impact a store. When you have clothing security programs which may have old, or home made features, it gives the store a sense of desperation. Considering your future profits, it’s important to keep up to date with clothing security and protect your merchandise appropriately.

One my favorite clothing security devices has to be the clothing alarm. As a manager, a clothing alarm is really cool. I enjoying watching for potential thieves and observing the look of surprise on their face as the clothing alarm activates, making an audible alarm. Immediately, the thief gets rid of the merchandise or tries to silence the clothing alarm by placing their hand over the tag. Extremely difficult, to defeat, the thief realizes this, drops the merchandise and flees the store. Security tags on clothes are a great way to protect your merchandise and a great way to secure your profits.

If a clothing alarm is something you’re not ready for, security tags on clothes are a must. You don’t want the attention unprotected retailers get from thieves. Besides the negative attention, the impression of control gives your profits the extra boost they need to maintain your business.

Placing security tags on clothes is my recommendation to you and to any retailer looking to protect their merchandise, boost their profits and keep up their stores appearance.

A common way for customers to steal clothing from businesses is to sack up the clothing and then walk out of the store.  They have the appearance of a customer that has paid, but they in fact either brought in their own sacks for the business or swiped some off of an unattended outlying register.  This type of theft is also more common as customers shift their focus to sustainability and reusable shopping bags become increasingly popular.

There is a very effective way to combat this type of shoplifter, however.  Security tags on clothes are a great deterrent to the shoplifter that tries to sack their unpaid merchandise and walk out of the business.  Clothing security tags are removed with a key by the cashier at the time of purchase, so by bypassing the purchasing, these tags remain on the clothes.  Additionally, when that thief does his or her casual walk out of the store, a clothing alarm will sound when the clothing is too close to the exit.  That happening is a worst nightmare for the shoplifter.

Clothing security is well worth the investment in order to help prevent these types of thefts.  Shoplifters are only successful if they do not have employees’ attention, and clothing security tags will bring that unwanted attention if they are not removed at the registers.  Shoplifters also need to be able to operate smoothly and quickly, not fighting for hours trying to figure out how to remove clothing security tags before stealing an item.

Security tags on clothes help prevent this type of shoplifting, as well as more traditional shoplifting techniques.  Investing in your profits with clothing security will boost your bottom line, decrease your loss due to theft, and send the shoplifters on to the next unprotected business.

After watching video of reported merchandise theft at a local clothing retailer, it was easy to see what would help. This stand alone store in a chain of 5 had never really felt the need to go with clothing security tags until recently. An inventory count was completed, and the store was missing lots of merchandise. They launched an investigation into dishonest employees and were able to successfully close out cases involving employee theft, yet 30% of their losses were unaccounted for. The reality was external theft. This store lacked the proper tools to prevent theft, including clothing security tags. Simply installing security tags on clothes could have made a bigger dent in their inventory loss, yet the store chose not to implement such a program.

Later, and after advice from their peers, this store ordered security tags on clothes and had their instore team install the devices. At the next inventory cycle, the store saw a large improvement from the loss the experienced just 12 months prior. The biggest contributor to this loss reduction, security tags on clothes.

I worked with a store manager years ago that believed clothing security was overrated. He believed the way around clothing security was to sell the merchandise before it was stolen.

Of course this was a great thought… assuming you could really stock and sell merchandise before a thief bent on profiting themselves could out steal your sales. Clothing security is always something to consider when selling this type of merchandise.

Some time ago, a discount clothing store I worked opened a new location in a high crime area. Talking with the surrounding retailers, the business was good but top levels of clothing security would be needed. Looking at comparable stores, business was also good. A competitor opened a store just a few blocks south, so I made my way over to investigate potential theft issues. Walking in, I was immediately confronted by the level of clothing security present in this store. If I were a thief walking into this store, I would instantly be discouraged. As a matter of fact, I would probably leave altogether and find some other retailer without security tags on clothes. On top of the visual security deterrence, I was immediately greeted by a store associate in a kind and professional manner. Couple this with clothing security tags; you have one heck of a security program. As I toured the store, clothing security tags were everywhere. I went through the youth’s section, clothing security tags. Headed for the men’s department, clothing security tags. Passed through the ladies apparel, clothing security tags. You honestly could not walk a section of the apparel departments without seeing security tags on clothes.

I introduced myself to the store manager and passed my business card over to her. I complimented her on the amount of security tags on clothes and asked her how she did it. She spoke of the need for security and recommendations from loss prevention pointed her to a solid security tags on clothes program.
