Dear Vendor,
Your commitment to assist retailers in their quest to reduce shrink and increase profits is a very important decision. Retailers are asking their suppliers to tag merchandise delivered to them with anti-shoplifting tags, commonly known as Electronic Article Surveillance (or EAS). The impact that Source Tagging has on the reduction of retail shrink is significant. In many cases, shortages are reduced by as much as 50 percent, adding pure profit back to the retailer’s bottom line and in many instances the manufacturer’s as well.
While Source Tagging might seem to be just another added expense to manufacturing costs, it does have many benefits that you will realize when you become a true vendor partner in retail Source Tagging programs.
When agreeing to Source Tag you will position your company and products to recognize the following benefits:
To help you better understand Source Tagging and the vendor requirements, we have created this “How To” guide. It includes a list of retailers that are committed to Source Tagging and the technology that they have chosen for their stores. TAG Company’s goal is to help you understand what the retail expectations will be once you have made the decision to Source Tag your products.
There are two basic EAS technologies; 58 kHz (Acousto Magnetic) and 8.2 MHz (Radio Frequency). TAG Company is proud to say that we endorse and sell both AM and RF and do not have a bias towards either technology. We are a “One-stop shop”, providing you and the retailer with a totally objective analysis of the right technology for the application.
TAG Company is committed to giving you, the manufacturer, quality service and products, and finally a choice in your EAS label vendor.
Congratulations on your decision to Source Tag!
Sincerely,
Mark Krom,
President and CEO
TAG Company
