Department Stores?

Why should hang tags with metal eyelet be used in department stores? Some upscale department stores that carry high-end products such as: ladies designer hand bags, designer jeans and high-end leather products use special hang tags with metal eyelets to help prevent thief. After the special hang tag is attached to the product then a theft prevention cable is strung through each of the metal eyelets on the hang tags that would connect all of the like items together. This would make it difficult for one of the items to be removed from the store without it being paid for. A sales clerk would have to unlock the security cable to remove the item in order for it to be purchased. Many retail stores have found it necessary to adopt several methods to help prevent loss of products by theft. By having a hang tag with an eyelet attached to the tag makes it a little more difficult for the tag to be removed. They also attach these metal sensors in the tag that would allow the metal from the eyelet as well as the sensor to alarm if the item is being removed from the store when it hasn't been paid for.

Hang tags with eyelets are used in a variety of products that you see and perhaps you used these items every day. Here are a few items that you probably have seen eyelets attached to: men's work boots, sports tennis shoes with strings, interim office envelopes, belts, ladies handbag shoulder straps, on craft items and on greeting cards, these are just a few items that you probably have seen metal eyelets on. Eyelet are used on a lot of things they are just one of those small unimportant things that you don't notice very much.

Hang tags with brass eyelets are also used in department stores to increase the sale of particular items. That marketing department for the product will use a high end designed hang tag with a brass eyelet because it can be used to get the attention of the consumer. A hang tag with a brass eyelet will stand out a little more than one without an eyelet. Plus it would cost a little more which would also say to the consumer that this company believes in making high quality items. Studies show that the consumer will purchase a product because of how it is promoted or marketed in the store. If an item has a hang tag attached to it verses a product that does not have a hang tag attached the consumer is likely to go with the one that has the hang tag. This is even more true if that hang tag offers a discount off the purchase of the item.

Hang tags with brass eyelet are found in the appliance section of department stores on the door handles or inside the appliance. These hang tags often provide the consumer with expected performance information of the item. Hang tags with brass eyelets are also found in furniture department stores. They are often used on lamps and other light fixtures because it is difficult to attach a price tag to those items due to their shape. If you should go to any jewelry department store they will have a small price hang tag attached to the item. Most of the time those hang tags do not have the brass eyelet attached to them because they are so small.

Now do you understand some of the benefits of why hang tags with metal eyelet are used in department stores?
