Eliminate Wardrobing with
WG Security's Seal Tag
News outlets such as
ABC News,
Bloomberg Businessweek,
Yahoo!,
Fox, and even the
Daily Mail in the U.K., published stories about the new and exciting
method Bloomingdale's has initiated to fight the scourge
of wardrobing. According to these stories and citing the
National Retail Federation, wardrobing is a form of
fraud that cost retailers $8.8 billion last year. While
Bloomingdale's is to be commended for an outside-the-box
way to reduce shrinkage, what you don't know is that
this revolutionary wardrobing prevention plan was a
collaborative effort between Bloomingdale's and WG
Security Products Inc., the California-based company
that has developed a reputation over the last 15 years
for innovative and original EAS technologies.
The device in use at Bloomingdale's locations throughout
the nation to stop wardrobers in their tracks is the
Seal Tag, available now from WG. It is not an EAS tag,
but a one-time use device which is typically applied at
the point of sale, to a noticeable area of the garment.
Customers are instructed that removal of the Seal Tag
voids any return policy. This prevents customers from
wearing the garment for a day and attempting a return,
therefore ensuring honest returns. The Seal tag is very
easily removed by hand and once removed, cannot be
re-applied. It can be personalized, with your business
logo imprinted on the front, adding a degree of
elegance. You can watch our
video for more information about wardrobing and the
Seal Tag.
If wardrobing is a concern for your
business (and judging from the comments section of these
stories, it should be), the Seal Tag is the answer for
you. Contact info@wgspi.com for more information on the
Seal Tag.
