TRUST CUSTOMERS WITHOUT TRUSTING THEIVES BY USING ALPHA THUNDER TAGS
One of the more increasingly popular ways to allow customers to expediently shop and checkout faster in retail is to allow the customer to get hands-on by using your mobile POS (Point Of Sale) solutions. Their shopping experience is streamlined by having them be in control of the scanning and payment of their selected items. It’s a welcome solution that puts the customer in control; however it poses a terrible threat to your bottom line at the same time. Many retailers have turned to Alpha High Theft Solutions brand Alpha Thunder Tag devices to balance this concept.
The Alpha Thunder Tag attaches to the flat surfaces of just about any item in your store to help stop shoplifting. Making them great retail anti theft devices in general. However in the case of mobile POS systems, they can attach just as easily to the backs of PDA’s (personal data assistant), tablets and larger smart phones. Whatever mobile POS devices you choose to protect, the Alpha Thunder Tag is a proven winner. When a thief attempts to walk out with your device, your existing EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) towers will alert you so that you can remedy the situation.
Brazen crooks that know that the EAS towers will alarm may try to detach the tag itself by popping it off of the device using a small screw driver or even their finger nail. In this case, the device is protected by a small plunger on the back of the tag that prevents removal of the tag itself. If the tag is removed from your tablet or other mobile POS device, a screeching loud (95dB) alarm will alert you to the tampering!
These wonderful tags are not only essential for mobile POS systems but also to prevent shoplifting. As I mentioned before, they can easily be attached to flat surfaces of many items by using the special adhesive that Alpha packages with them. They can be used on just about any items in your store that customers can reach. Item’s like display cameras, laptops, tablets and televisions to name a few. The principle is the same too; they try to leave the store with the items and the EAS towers will alert you to it. If they try to detach the tag from the item, they will get a 95dB dose of embarrassing alarm to deal with. The battle to prevent shoplifting in your store could weigh in your favor with these anti retail theft devices!
There are over $35 million worth of items stolen from stores by shoplifters every day. That’s over $13 billion dollars annually! The war against shoplifters, whether habitual or professionals must begin with the use of a plan and retail anti theft devices like the Alpha Thunder Tag. Without powerful tools like these, you are unlikely to make in impact in your effort to prevent shoplifting. Most thieves know that they have an extreme advantage when retailers don’t take steps to protect their assets. However, how much of an advantage is up to you as the retailer.
You have a clear choice. Do you protect all of your assets or can you afford to be selective about what you choose to protect? That choice is up to you but remember, whatever you decide to protect, shoplifters will take note of everything that it available to them. Keep in mind, that retail anti theft devices made by Alpha, can be ordered in larger quantities, often reflecting a discount. This means more coverage in your store and less product lost. It also keeps your customers hands on with your products without having to conceal them from reach! It’s trust without trusting. Truly!

Choose The Right Retail Anti Theft Devices
There are many different ways to prevent shoplifting. As an owner or manager of a small business, choosing the right retail anti theft devices depends on what you need to protect. Personally, I am a huge fan of the simple, yet highly effective, Alpha Keepers. The customer still has access to the merchandise, without it having to be locked up behind glass. They can still read the ingredients or instructions if needed and the item stays completely secure. Plus, they are reusable, easily applied and easily removed.
I was at my friend’s store today, helping her get ready for her inventory. Her store is located in a pretty bad area; the crime rate is through the roof and the amount of shoplifting she deals with is outrageous. It is a constant struggle in this store, and this particular day was no different. While I was there, we caught a lady stealing. We walked up on her opening a package, both of us hearing that familiar sound of someone messing with plastic. She was about to drop it in her bag, then she looked up to see the two of us standing there staring at her, both of us with our hands on our hips. We made her dump her bag on the front counter; and made her pay for the item she was about to swipe.
One thing I did see that my buddy could make a big improvement on the choice of device used to protect razor blades. She currently has them in this giant dispensing type system, made and supplied by the makers of the razors. It’s a huge heavy abomination, and it’s a pain to use for both the customers and the store staff. It is wired into the overhead paging, and when it gets stuck the alarm sounds throughout the store over and over until someone can get over there to fix it. It does not prevent shoplifting in that section like my system does. I took that crazy contraption down years ago and now I use Alpha Keepers. I put up some pegs and I hang up my razor cartridges now, no matter the brand or size. Customers can freely choose the product they need, without feeling like they are having to get through a maze to get some cheese. Customers should not have to work for the items they came to shop for! My buddy is in luck though. I happen to have a lot of extra boxes of Alpha Keepers that I got due to a remodel. I told her I would come back and help her convert her old clunky system into a sleek model for selling. I know she will see the results soon, and the shrink reduction in this section will be quickly noticeable.
Alpha Security has many solutions to help prevent shoplifting. My friend has been experiencing another major problem at her store. People have been walking out the front door with big bottles of laundry detergent. I have a whole box of the tools she needs to deter this type of theft too, which is a whole box of Alpha cable locks. These fit right around the handle of the bottles. That cable is super thick, and it’s not something a little pocket knife or other typical blade carried by a thief is going to damage. They are tough and they have the same alarm capabilities as the Alpha Keepers.
I am giving away some of my extra retail anti theft devices to help my friend get some of the theft in her store under control. She will owe me big time, not even to mention all the work I put in there today straightening shelves and such.

DON’T STAIN YOUR SOCKS WITH ALPHA INK TAGS!
Most large retailers have one thing in common for the most part; they sell socks. Think about any big box or chain store and quickly realize that I’m right. (Or you can just trust that I’ve done the research). You know what else is common to those retailers (mine included) and those socks? They get stolen. Every hour of every day of every week, they and most likely you, are losing money to thieves who are stealing your socks! You may simply overlook hosiery as a major shrink category, but I can tell you personally, in my stores two years ago, I lost about $25k in that category per store. That is a significant amount of loss. Loss that could be easily prevented with an Alpha Ink Tag.
Almost every customers that comes into my store to purchase a pair of shoes will likely also leave with a pair of socks. Those bulk socks weren’t the problem, but the athletic socks. I carry some single pairs that retail for $15.99 or higher. Not only were these being stolen in massive amounts by every passing teenager, they were very easy to resell, which made them a prime target for organized retail crime groups. I needed something to prevent shoplifting, as the theft of these socks alone were greatly impacting our bottom line.
After seeing the inventory loss creep up to such a substantial number, I decided to look into ways to better secure this product. I needed something that would do its job to prevent shoplifting, but also keep the product easily accessible to the customer. I couldn’t very well go locking up bags of cotton being a glass case now! I tried a few different options like soft tags and even pencil tags, but nothing gave me the results I was after quite like the Alpha Ink Tags.
Right off the bat, the Alpha Ink Tag has more of a deterrence simply in its appearance. You’d be surprised at how many shoplifters attempt to steal these items and quickly abandoned them when they notice that tag. The thieves were not willing to take the chance of destroying the product with ink by removing the tag. Once I saw just how effective they were in preventing shoplifting, we jumped head first in tagging each and every pair of socks we had over $9.99. My supervisor thought I was going a bit over-board, but I knew the problem we faced and I also knew that a little effort to prevent theft would go a long way to increase profits.
With the tag placed on the back of the product, the normal shopper cannot tell that there is such a large diameter tag protecting the merchandise. Since the vast majority of people don’t try on socks before purchasing them, it didn’t affect our sales one bit. This was the perfect balance between customer service and loss prevention. More importantly, it worked. It stopped those socks from walking out the door, all with just a minor investment in technology and labor. Over the course of the past year I seen our stores post very nice sales increases in the hosiery category. More importantly, the losses have dwindled from a high of $25k all the way down to a mere few hundred dollars. I’d say if you’re not using ink tags, then you’re definitely letting money walk right out the door!!
