Issue:
Shoplifters are tampering with hard tags that are placed on higher-end clothing such as suits, jackets, and other items. What can I do to stop this?
Solution:
A determined shoplifter will typically be inclined to try to remove your hard tags from your expensive merchandise while in the store. Usually this results in damage to the product. To avoid damage to this merchandise, simply apply an Alpha 2 or 3 hard tag to your inventory. This product is the same as a standard 1 alarm hard tag with the exception that it also has an anti-tampering system that is internally embedded in the product and contains a 95 decibel sounder.
An Alpha 2 or 3 hard tag is larger than a standard hard tag because of the added security that it contains. The sheer size of the Alpha hard tag serves as a visual deterrent to the would-be shoplifter as an added benefit as well. If a shoplifter attempts to pry the Alpha hard tag off a high-end item in the store, the sounder then alarms and attracts attention to the shoplifter. The 2 & 3 alarm functions give you a variety of protection and are also available in AM or RF formats to better suite your needs.

Question:
Is there a cost effective way to protect liquor, spirits, and other alcoholic beverages?
Solution:
Alpha High Theft Solutions has just the right product for low cost liquor, wine, and spirit protection that goes beyond bottle cap protection. In some cases, Loss Prevention Systems have customers that utilize Crystal Guard and EASy Guard but may not need that particular product for every item they wish to protect. This is where the Steel Grip comes in. This product is designed to fit around the neck of a bottle and lock securely in place. Although Steel Grip does not provide product denial, the built in AM or RF tag is still effective in the protection of the merchandise in the store. The Steel Grip is designed to work in tandem with your Electronic Article Surveillance (E.A.S) system to ensure that the alarm sounds if an item is removed from the premises.
Loss Prevention Systems has found that the products offered by competitors typically use cheap materials that allow them to be tampered with easily. Steel Grip incorporates a strong metal strap encased in plastic for maximum protection in a small streamline profile. It also has no effect on your shelving heights since it is used around the neck of the bottle. Steel Grip comes with the word “alarm” printed on it, which helps provide a visual deterrent to shoplifters. It can also be removed easily by utilizing an Alpha S3 key with just one hand.
Amusingly, there are other uses for the Steel Grip. Laundry care products such as Febreze, Tide, and other similar products can also be protected. Auto Care products and other products that are sold in bottles that have a longer necked bottle can also be protected. Chances are that if a shoplifter attempts to remove the Steel Grip from this product, it will most likely shatter or damage the bottle before it can be removed. Steel Grip is a low cost product that will make an excellent addition to your bottle protection needs.

In the small retail pharmacy business, the front end sales do not come close to the pharmacy contribution. Our company has to draw customers to choose our pharmacy to dispense their prescriptions, but the front end has to have the right product mix as well. We carry OTC medications and health/beauty aids, and other miscellaneous merchandise, but every other retailer has all of that too. One category we have added in the past few years is beer and wine. One new product protection tool we have found a need to incorporate is the Bottle Lock.
We have not needed to add them in all of our stores, but there has been a clear need in a few locations. Some of our stores are in areas that deal with high crime and poverty, with a lot of foot traffic, so there was a sudden spike in run-out thefts once we added alcohol. That was mainly in the wine section. Bottle Locks became a saving grace in that section to put a stop to those rampant thefts.
We only carry beer in reach in coolers, and the section is generally still only two or four doors. We are certainly not a big competitor in the local beer business; the point is to have it for convenience and impulse. The powers that be have decided to change our selection of products in these coolers. In the past we have carried only packaged items, in six, twelve and eighteen count bottles or cans. Now we are in the single serve business, carrying the giant cans and those big forty ounce bottles. I am usually pretty “yippy skippy” about new items, but this makes me ill at ease. I just feel like the draw of a huge cold beer can turn into the difference in whether a store has to deal with beer and wine theft.
My husband used to work in a convenience store and those bottles were like his arch enemies. They were stolen by local troublesome customers that had substance abuse issues. They were also very regularly stolen by teenagers. Group of teens tended see these bottles as “sharing size” and they would come in and steal them several times a week. Some would attempt to distract the clerk, and others would simply conceal them and walk right out the door.
Bottle Locks will secure the bottles shut until they are removed by the clerk. They will alarm if a customer attempts to remove them, and if there is a successful theft, I know they won’t get to partake in that bottle. The glass neck would most likely break, rendering the bottle dangerous and the beer inside undrinkable.
We will be looking into adding Bottle Locks to these as soon as they are stocked by the vendors. I want to have products on my shelves that are appealing to my customer base. There is nothing wrong with purchasing a cold single serve beer to take home and enjoy after a long hot day of work. But I want those to be bought by my honest cash paying customers, and not easily pilfered by those that would not pay for them.
