How do you educate your customers so they know what they can and cannot do when they see the Alpha Shark Tag? The customers won’t have any idea what the tag is designed for. If they do not have any education, you can create customer issues. 

Legitimate customers may automatically take the tag off when they get home, not knowing that it needs to stay on. If they later change their mind and return the item, you wouldn’t want a declined return from a customer who honestly had not worn the item.

 The easiest solution is to attach a hangtag to the pin that holds the tag to the garment. The Alpha Shark Tag should now have a copy of the store’s return policy and the removal instructions attached to it. If you are looking for examples, Alpha Security has made one to be used.

 Now, in addition to the cashier or salesperson verbally explaining the Alpha Shark Tag at the point of purchase, there is a written instruction physically attached to the tag. When used together, there should not be any confusion as to what the tag does, as well as how and when to remove it. 

 It may not prevent shoplifting, but it will prevent undo customer complaints.

If there are two things I have always felt that don’t mix, it has to be shoes and retail anti-theft devices. I completely understand that shoe departments are traditionally a high theft area, but finding good ways to prevent shoplifting is difficult at the very least.

Retail anti-theft devices like a hard tag and pin configuration are so limited. At my very first retail job I was assigned the task of retagging the entire shoe department because some inexperienced (or apathetic) clerk put the tags on the wrong way. The large, bulky ink tag part was on the inside of the shoe (instead of the pin) and no one could comfortably try them on.

That was assuming there was a shoelace eye to thread the pin tag through. Dress shoes, sandals, or loafers were left to their own devices, as there was no good place to thread the pin through.

Now, with the help of the Alpha Security Alpha Fashion2 Accessory Tag, there are more skillful ways to prevent shoplifting. The Alpha Fashion2 is a small lanyard that can thread through even the smallest of details on a dress shoe. The smaller overall size of the tag also helps keep it customer friendly so it does not take away from a customer trying the shoes on.

Using the Alpha Shark Tag is an effective way to prevent “wardrobing” of your clothes. That means that customers have a decreased ability to purchase an item or entire outfit with the intention of wearing once and then returning the items. This is not designed to prevent shoplifting. This is designed specifically with wardrobing in mind.

This small, red plastic tag is tamper evident and eliminates the guesswork an employee has to do at the point of return. If the Alpha Shark Tag is still on and is 100% intact, the return is good. 

The issue is in how to educate your customers so they know what they can and cannot do. The customers won’t have any idea what the tag is designed for. If they do not have any education, you can create customer issues. Legitimate customers may automatically take the tag off when they get home, not knowing that it needs to stay on. If they later change their mind and return the item, you wouldn’t want a declined return from a customer who honestly had not worn the item.

The easiest solution is to attach a hangtag to the pin of the Alpha Shark tag. The tag should have a copy of the store’s return policy on one side, and the removal instructions on the back. Alpha Security provides an example of such a tag to be used to avoid possible confusion and customer complaints.

The Alpha Security Alpha Shark Tag is a small plastic tag that attaches to the front of a garment in a very conspicuous place. By design, these retail anti-theft devices are designed to be a deterrent against customers who want to “wardrobe” an item. That means the consumer intends to buy a piece of clothing with the sole intent on wearing it once and then returning the item with a receipt for a full refund.

To prevent wardrobing, the store posts a visible return policy stating that the Alpha Shark Tag must be present and undamaged for a full refund to occur. If the customer tries to remove the tag, they will not be able to return the item without visible damage to the tag.

Additionally, an unsuspecting shoplifter might bypass such an item because they assume the tags are also designed as a retail anti-theft device. Just like certain items found in nature, the red color of the Alpha Shark Tag means stop. It can prevent shoplifting because the red color can be spotted far enough away from the clothing that the shoplifter might think it is another visual deterrent.

Everywhere you go, there are signs by public restrooms inside of stores asking that you not bring merchandise inside that has not been paid for. While most people willingly obey, there are some do not. Whether it is because they feel that they do not need to adhere to the request, or they have more dastardly reasons, sometimes a posted sign is not enough to prevent shoplifting.

The Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate is a perfect solution for restrooms. This is a retail anti-theft device that works with your existing system. It is a small box that does the same function as the larger towers that are already in place at your exit doors.

By having a smaller design, the Alpha Nano Gate can be mounted in more tight spaces than their traditional pedestal counterparts. Since restroom vestibules are typically small designs, this works well. Signs can still be posted about not taking merchandise inside. This retail anti-theft device can be used to ensure that anyone looking to ignore the sign will have an alarm to answer to and might just think twice about trying to conceal their merchandise inside a restroom.
