Sometimes it seems as if the shoplifters are one step ahead of our efforts to deter them.  At the business I work for, I am always learning about new ways that shoplifters steal, ways that I would have never even considered.  I often wonder what kind of world we would live in if those who chose to steal in these creative ways would simply put their efforts into something beneficial instead of illegal.

Shoplifters target merchandise that they desire, or merchandise in which they can make a profit.  Clothing is no exception, so clothing security needs to be considered if your business sells it.  Clothing is needed by everyone, and is relatively easy to conceal.  Clothing security tags are an option to consider when shopping around for clothing security options.

A clothing alarm can be attached to your high theft clothing and will alert your store staff should it leave your business without being paid for.  Clothing security tags are a visual deterrent to the would-be thief also, so the shoplifter may simply choose not to steal from you.

A shoplifter deciding whether or not to steal from you is a decision that you can sway by having security tags on clothes.  For minimal investment you can protect your merchandise and be able to stay a step ahead of the shoplifters, for a change, instead of vice versa.  Being one step ahead of theft does wonders for your profitability and your ability to serve your honest, paying customers.

In a world of poor choices that shoplifters make, the decision not to steal from you is an excellent choice that is influenced by your decision to have clothing security.

Those new to the world of security tags on clothes might not understand how security tags on clothes work and what they do to keep profits in stores. One management team I worked with was very familiar with the profitability of security tags on clothes and made sure they stayed profitable.

Downtown was never an easy market for this retailer in this big city. A newer chain of clothing stores, the managers wanted clothing security to be the highlight of their business. They knew clothing security was an important part of the business and ensured each new store was outfitted with security tags on clothes. Walking the store prior to its soft opening, the management team walked the sales floor looking at the shopability of the store and security tags on clothes. The managers considered clothing security as an integral part of the business and understood that by providing clothing security, they kept merchandise ready and available for customers, ultimately boosting profits.

The opening came. Sure enough in the first week, the store experienced several shoplifting attempts. Thieves seemed to flock to new openings, surely because they assume these retailers weren’t staffed as they should be and might not have the best clothing security.

Clothing security tags were all over merchandise. The would-be thieves were deterred, stopped and apprehended all week. Looking over the various sections of the store, the managers were happy with the business decisions they had made regarding clothing security tags. In reality, the visibility of the clothing security tags probably stopped even more shoplifters than the store had realized. Feeling positive with the results of the clothing security tags, the managers spoke with the store encouraging them to keep up with the clothing security tags program and to provide excellent customer service.

Clothing security tags offer a sense of control not only to the store management, but the store team as well. Merchandise protection standards that include clothing security tags offer the associates a chance to productively protect, their merchandise. I say “their” because the associates should have a vested interest in protecting merchandise in the store and helping boost profits while using clothing security tags.

Allowing associates to actively participate in applying clothing security tags is a positive position to take. Placing security tags on clothes, the associates feel more part of the team, and truly take pride in their work. In the event a shoplifter enters the store and attempts to steal merchandise, the associate will provide excellent customer service, deterring the thief, because their work is being challenged.

OK, Ok, security tags on clothes ideally work to protect the merchandise on which they are placed. However, employees do like being active and feeling like part of the team. Having employees place security tags on clothes, or assigning them this task, they become vested. The take a valued interest in ensuring the merchandise is available for customer, and even more, provide better customer service.

Security tags on clothes have been around for quite awhile, and are the most recognized approach to clothing security. Retailers throughout the world rely on this form of clothing security because it is simple, straight forward technology that works. Clothing security issues arising out of the lack of security tags on clothes can easily be fixed by adding the additional tools or making more clothing security tags available to the store itself.

All in all, having a well executed clothing security program and associates that take an active role ensuring the program is functioning 100%, the outcome, profits will be positive.

Hello, my name is Shoplifter.  I enjoy stealing clothing.  It is easy to steal, easy to conceal.  When there is no clothing security, all I have to do is fold it up, slip it into my purse, and walk out of the store.  It is sooooo easy.  Sometimes I steal clothing I want, or sometimes I steal for friends.  Sometimes, I even steal to resell the clothing online.  Why pay for what I can get for free?

When I scope out a store, I look for clothing security.  Security tags on clothes are no fun!  The last thing I want to do is steal and then have to fight to get the clothing security tags off.  Worse yet, I do not want to steal and then have a clothing alarm go off, telling the store employees that I am stealing.  Forget that, I will just go elsewhere to do my shoplifting.

Shoplifters do not come into your businesses and introduce themselves, so businesses have to be proactive about their security measures.  If you own or manage a business that sells clothing, you understand that they are extremely high theft items.  Clothing security options are available so that you do not have to be victim to customers that choose to steal from you.

Clothing security tags are placed on clothing to offer a visual deterrent to the potential shoplifter.  Also, if they get to close to your exits, they will sound an alarm, alerting store employees to the possible theft.  Security tags on clothes are removed by your store employees when the items are purchased, and they are able to be reused.

When shoplifters see security tags on clothes, they know what they are up against.  By showing the shoplifters you have clothing security, you telling them to move on to the next unprotected business.

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.
