Don’t Over Spend Where You Don’t Need To- Alpha Nano Gate

April 24, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

The Alpha Nano Gate works with Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices to simplify the process to prevent shoplifting. Some stores do not carry a large variety of high theft products. As such, there is no need for oversized and expensive towers and EAS systems that are, quite frankly overkill in these situations.

Say you have a general merchandise store that has a small area built in for electronics like GPS or mobile phones. Since these are items that you do not want to have floating around on their own, you have made a type of store in store location for them.

You can install the Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate specifically for these store in store areas. If anyone passes by with the Alpha 3 Alarm equipped electronics, the audible alarm will activate and the merchandise’s location can be determined while they are still in the store.

By only using retail anti theft devices where you truly need them, you save money from purchasing only what you will actually use, but also save money from not having to maintain larger expensive systems.

Visit the Loss Prevention Store for Alpha 2Alarm, Alpha 3Alarm, Alpha Fashion2, Alpha Jewel Lok, Alpha Nano Gate, Alpha Shark Tag, Alpha Spider Wrap and other retail anti-theft devices from Alpha Security to use in conjunction with your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can help you prevent shoplifting in your business.

Change Your World- Retail Theft Devices

April 24, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Advancements in technology amaze me. Looking at the world and seeing the information and products available literally, at our fingertips, is quite a phenomenon. Despite all of these wonderful new gadgets and gizmos, there are still innovations that have nothing to do with a computer chip that can completely change your life. These are things like retail theft devices.

Before the widespread use of retail theft devices to prevent retail theft, inventory shrink losses skyrocketed out of control.

After the implementation of anti shoplifting tools, some retailers saw inventory shrink numbers decrease by up to eighty percent! That is a significant reduction. Imagine any retailer, or small business that has an eighty percent turnaround to their bottom line profits. The results are astounding.

To be able to make such an enormous impact from the simple addition of Checkpoint labels or Checkpoint tags is astounding. We all look to find ways to create those positive impacts on our small businesses. It’s nice to be able to find a proven way to change our world for the better.

Sell The Company – Background Checks

April 23, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

While it is becoming more of a standard practice to conduct background checks prior to offering a job candidate an offer, there can still be mixed feelings from the applicant.

Some job applicants can perceive background checks as the precursor to being micro managed or watched once they actually begin to work at your store or company. That can make a difference in some of the applicants who would apply for a job opening. Not every applicant who wants to avoid pre-employment screening does so because they have something to hide. Sometimes they just want to ensure their drive and innovation will be put to good use and not squelched under a barrage of regulations and managerial control.

If you need those types of creative and innovative employees, you do not want them turned off before they are even hired.

That being said, the solution is not in forgoing background checks. The answer is in properly explaining the advantages that the employee will benefit from.

The number one benefit is safety. You (as the employer) are doing everything you can to provide a safe working environment. By eliminating employees with past criminal offenses that include violence or theft, you are securing the workplace for your employees.

Secondly, by verifying pervious work experience, your employees have a better chance of working beside other employees who actually know what they say they do. One of the biggest workplace complaints is that co-workers are inept. If they had lied on their resume to get a job they were unqualified for, they will eventually show their deficit in their job performance.

Keep It Off The Shelves – Clothing Security

April 23, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Clothing security goes beyond just putting security tags on clothes in your store. It involves taking a second look at the opportunities your store presents. Can you reduce your shelf quantities and still make a positive impact on your sales? If so, do it. Take those items and back stock them.

By giving your store a different approach to theft prevention than just using Checkpoint tags, you will be better off. Reducing your shelf quantity is just another enhancement to your clothing security.

If you sell multiples of an item and need a large representation of this item, don’t sacrifice your sales through a shelf quantity reduction. However, those situations are generally more of an exception than a rule.

The right way is to look at your current sales and make a determination if you can make the reductions. Clothing security tags are very important to reducing your shrink losses on a permanent basis, but they are not the only way to go. By remembering that there are other enhancements that you can quickly make will only help you be proactive to specific issues as they arise.

If you notice that you are no longer shrinking an item, it is easy to increase the shelf quantities at that time.

Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase Checkpoint Tags, a Clothing Alarm, Clothing Security or Clothing Security Tags to put Security Tags on Clothes and an Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system.

Reducing Opportunities for Inventory Loss – Loss Prevention Workshop

April 22, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

The need for loss prevention in your store or business has one main goal – to prevent opportunities. If you are not completely adept in how to do this, you might want to explore a loss prevention workshop that can help you expand your loss prevention training.

In a nutshell, loss prevention is about reducing the opportunity for merchandise or cash losses in your business. It is about developing standard business practices and procedures that limit the scope by which you might suffer monetary or inventory loss. These losses create a financial burden that is hard to recover from.

Loss prevention seminars will give you some ideas for processes that you can develop and implement. There really is no need to try and re-invent the wheel. There are many practices that have already been developed that have been proven to eliminate or deter both employee theft and shoplifting.

You probably have policies and procedures in place for other functional areas of your store like sales, customer service, or human resources. So why would you not have these same policies for loss prevention in place. It is just as easy to give your employees loss prevention training as it is to train them on how to run a register or sell to a customer.

Simply Ineffective- Alpha Security

April 22, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

When I consult for small businesses, they often ask which items of merchandise they need to focus on to prevent shoplifting. I often suggest using a layered approach to their retail anti theft devices.

Alpha Security retail anti theft devices are solutions to protecting specific product groups. There is no reason why a retail business needs to try and fit the same EAS tag to every piece of merchandise. It simply is ineffective.

Since Alpha Security created different designs and abilities for different products it is easy to layer on security.

If you have merchandise that needs to be on a hook or rounder, then you can look to using Alpha Fashion2 Alarms or Alpha Jewel Lok. A necklace is well protected with those solutions.

Obviously with those products to prevent shoplifting, why would you try and use a keeper box for that same necklace? While it would protect the necklace, it would be a deterrent to customer actually wanting to purchase it. A keeper box is best used for packaged product like cologne or razors.

It’s not only about having retail anti theft devices, it is really about having solutions that work for your security and are easy for customers to shop around.

Go With the Flow- Anti shoplifting

April 21, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

There is a line between effective retail theft prevention and effective customer service. While you never want one to hinder the other, when faced with having to decide between the two, anti shoplifting ends up by the wayside.

Depending on your retail market, studies have shown that customers who are buying electronics and other such accessories are more willing to wait at the point of sale for anti shoplifting devices and tags to be removed.

In smaller convenience areas such as pharmacy, food and beauty specialists it is just the opposite. If you want to stop shoplifting, the retail theft prevention devices must not impact or hinder the flow of customers. There is a greater need by the customer to get in and get out with a minimal wait at the point of sale.

This is an ideal situation to use checkpoint systems that incorporate soft labels that are quickly deactivated during the checkout process and do not require any additional steps/ time involved.

Along those same lines, customers are more likely to buy impulse items when they can touch and take them at their leisure. When these same items are placed in a locked area, the sales decrease, thus a reduction in anti shoplifting tools to satisfy the flow of customer sales.

Where Do You Find Your Wiggle Room? – Bottle Security

April 21, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

When a restaurant sells a bottle of wine, there can be anywhere from a 150 percent to 300 percent mark up on the bottles. By comparison, a retail store might only mark up a bottle 25 percent to 50 percent. Needless to say, retailers do not have as much wiggle room with their wine profits as a restaurant or bar might. It is critical for retailers to incorporate bottle security in order to maintain their profits.

When you are looking to add a new, high caliber product group, the last thing you want is to end up loosing money instead of making money. Since wine is not one of the highest mark up items in a store, any inventory shrink losses can quickly devastate the small amount of built in profit. Bottle security can help mitigate those potential losses.

Just because the retailer doesn’t have a big mark up on their product doesn’t mean that it is any less desirable to a shoplifter. It also doesn’t prevent someone from coming into a store and doing their own wine tasting. What does help stop these tastings, as well as shoplifters, is bottle security in the form of Bottle Locks. Alpha Security EASy Bottle protects the wine inventory without seriously compromising the wine’s slim margin percent. This makes it a much more affordable solution.

Jewelry Can Be Clothing Too- Clothing Security

April 20, 2014 by Staff Editor Leave a Comment

Jewelry is a huge add- on item in retail, or in any small business for that matter. It is also a huge theft item by nature. Jewelry is small. It is easily concealed, and can be quite expensive. Jewelry losses sometimes outweigh the profit margins built into these impulse buys. Clothing security should always be extended out to protect this high theft item.

Clothes are not the only items that need protection using retail theft devices. Jewelry and accessories can often create losses that far exceed that of any other clothing department or product group.

In fact, I worked for a retailer once that had jewelry losses that exceeded our designer clothing department two to one.

Another point of consideration is that jewelry sales seem to be cropping up for other non-clothing retailers. How many convenience stores have been selling costumer jewelry up on their counters for points of sale add on?

When you begin to think of clothing security as more than just clothes, you may be surprised at the impact it makes to your bottom line.
