Find Out How O-Tags Can Protect All Those Odd Shaped Products You Thought Couldn’t Be Secured
My husband and I are avid golfers.  We love to play the game, even though we are nowhere close to being good at the sport.  My husband was a golfer before I was, and so I decided I should learn the sport so we could have a mutual interest, and enjoy it together.  I have to admit I didn’t enjoy the sport initially, I found it to be a very frustrating sport that pushed my patience to the brink.  Golf really does take skill, and I probably could have benefited from an instructor, but we are way past that now.  So my first time golfing was quite the adventure.  My husband and I went out and he provided me with about 5 minutes of lackluster instruction before we started; can’t delay a tee time!  So there we are on the course, while I hack away at this ball, trying to get it to the green in at least fifteen strokes.  My husband grows impatient and begins to move ahead of me, not fearful in the least that I will hit him in the process.  So there I am in the grass about ten feet from a tree.  I decide I will just hit the ball back onto the fairway so I can take a better shot.  Now I know this may sound impossible, but I promise I can’t make this up.  As I line myself up to hit my ball onto the fairway, I pull back and swing as hard as I can.  I manage to slice the ball so hard that it cuts to my right and hits the tree and literally comes back and hits me straight in the head.  I would like to say that I reacted in a calm manner, but I would be lying.  At this point I think I was so irritated that I began yelling expletives and hitting my club on the ground.  It was a rather impressive tantrum, one which resulted in my husband not being very happy with me, and leaving him a little embarrassed.  Needless to say I didn’t golf for a while after that, but I eventually returned, and have improved my skills over the last 20 years.  During that time I have come to enjoy the sport, and our lack of expertise on the subject, doesn’t prevent us from buying the latest and greatest equipment.  We enjoy going to some of the local stores and demoing some of the new clubs and seeing what new products are out there.  Being in loss prevention I tend to naturally review the security in any of the stores I frequent.  I am not sure if this is a blessing or a curse, but I do know that not all security is equal.  We recently went to a golf store and noticed that they had the Alpha O-Tag on all of their high line clubs and their demos, which impressed me.
We have been to so many stores in various different states and I am always surprised by the lack of retail anti-theft devices.  Being in loss prevention I am very familiar with the O-tag, which is a great means to secure those items that are oddly shaped.  They can secure sporting items like golf clubs, baseball bats, hockey sticks and racquets.  They can also secure expensive tools and hard to secure equipment.  The O-tag is designed to secure merchandise without hindering the customer’s ability to fully observe and even test the item.  Placed on sporting equipment, it does not hinder their ability to swing and grip the object, to see how if fits or feels.  These retail anti-theft devices are ideal for sporting goods stores or home improvement stores.  These tags come in two sizes to accommodate various products and are made of a durable material to prevent their removal.  This product is re-useable and removed at the point of sale, making it a cost-efficient way to protect your property.  
If you have high line products that are not the traditional size and shape for traditional retail anti-theft devices, I would recommend you look at the O-Tag as a viable option for your loss prevention needs.  Regardless of the type of products you sell, don’t go unprotected.  Protect your merchandise and reduce theft by properly securing your property.
