The Importance of Clothing Security Tags in Theft Prevention

Clothing security tags are not always used by retail stores to prevent people from stealing, but they should be. Many retail stores without clothing security tags have a certain amount of money allotted to cover the costs of stolen clothing, so the managers are not as strict about shoplifting. The problem is when word spreads that a store doesn’t use sensor tags, it becomes a favorite place to “shop” for thieves. Why? Well, because unless there are sensor tags on clothing, they probably won’t get caught. However, there are some thieves that are so good at stealing that they have mastered shoplifting, even when there are clothing security tags on everything. However, it is more likely for thieves to steal when there are no sensor tags because they can get away without making noise and they don’t have to worry about going through the trouble of removing the sensor tags later on.

Benefits to using clothing security tags in your retail store:

Deters thieves:

When someone is thinking about stealing something, clothing security tags make them think twice. Security tags, also known as anti-theft sensors will sound an alarm when someone tries to leave the store with merchandise they didn’t pay for. 

Easy to install & operate for employees:

Clothing security tags are very easy for employees at a store to remove at checkout, but very hard for thieves to deactivate themselves.

Allows for open display of goods:

Sensor tags are the best anti-theft devices to use in retail stores to deter thieves. They are small enough that some thieves don’t notice them and the thieves that do usually don’t try to take the clothing at all. 

Boosts safety for employees:

There is an increase in safety for employees because they no longer have to be on the lookout for shoplifters. Clothing security tags will cause an alarm to sound and make everyone aware of any shoplifters, which also allows employees to focus more on providing customers with great customer service. 

If all that is not enough to convince you to start using clothing security tags at your store, just simply think about the customers. You are much more likely to attract quality customers, if you make your clothing harder for thieves to steal.
