Active apparel, men’s wares, ladies intimates and many types of jeans seem to be the highest theft items when it comes to softlines. In order to help prevent retail theft, and enforce clothing security , it is recommended to attach clothing security tags to the areas of merchandise identified in a business as high shrink. For instance, a retailer having trouble controlling leather jackets attaches the leather jackets to the display fixture. This impacts the salability of the merchandise and ultimately impacts profits.

What this business should have done is use the latest technology and attached a clothing alarm to these jackets. A clothing alarm used with a Checkpoint security system allows the merchandise to be shopped, without the inconvenience of being attached to a fixture display.

Now, if a thief decides he’d like to own one of these jackets without paying for it, he’ll have to try and defeat the clothing alarm . With many types of clothing alarms to choose from, he’ll have no chance of getting away quietly. Once a clothing alarm is tampered with, it makes an audible alarm alerting the nearest associate. The shoplifter is quickly identified and will drop the merchandise, quickly leaving the store. In the event he doesn’t mess with the clothing tag and simply wants to walk out, the Checkpoint Security System will recognize the tag and activate an audible alarm, again taking away the privacy.
