Just because the Alpha Nano Gate by Alpha Security was designed for anti shoplifting, doesn’t mean it can’t be the perfect solution to thwart employee theft.

One area where retail anti theft devices fail to prevent employee theft is the employee break room. Due to privacy concerns, cameras are often not allowed (by law) in some of these areas.

That makes it a prime place for an ingenious employee to ferret away product. They can hide merchandise and take advantage of moments of quiet to remove devises designed to prevent shoplifting. Afterwards, it is just a short trip into the employees bag or coat and the merchandise will be walked out without ever raising a suspicion.

One of the biggest advantages of using Alpha Nano Gate compared to other devices is its relatively small design. That makes it the perfect gatekeeper for areas that have limited space to put larger EAS/ RF pedestals. By installing Alpha Nano Gate outside of an employee break room or office; you can prevent another avenue for employee theft. The gate will deter employees from entering these areas with unpaid for merchandise.

In order to prevent shoplifting of jewelry and small accessories, retailers have been left with very minimal options. Retail anti theft devices typically are not designed with jewelry in mind. They are designed for clothing and have been adapted for jewelry and accessory usage only because there have not been other options available.

 What if there were retail anti theft devices designed specifically for jewelry? What a game changer that would be. Having a product that is specific to the job would increase the effectiveness of the product and lower shrink in the jewelry department.

Well luckily enough, there is such a product- the Alpha Security Alpha Jewel Lok. The biggest win for the Alpha Jewel Lok is that it attaches directly onto the merchandise, not to the packaging (which is the current method used).

There are three types of locks available. There are the loose jewelry solutions, hoop earring solutions and stud jewelry solutions. Each one is designed to work with a specific format of jewelry and accessory. Because the Alpha Jewel Lok is tailored for a specific product, the overall effectiveness to prevent shoplifting is increased.

Technology and human nature amaze me. Looking at the world and seeing the possibilities, information and access available literally, at our fingertips, is quite a phenomenon. Yet there are still innovations that have nothing to do with a computer chip, “the cloud” or an app that can completely change your life. But habits don’t change as easily and therefore you need to continue your quest to prevent shoplifting. 

In retail, or any small business for that matter, jewelry is a huge add on item. It is also a huge theft item my nature- or by design. Jewelry is small. It is easily concealed, and can be quite expensive. Jewelry losses sometimes outweigh the profit margins built into these impulse buys.

Alpha Security is a trusted name in retail anti theft devices. This is because they are reliable, and also because they simply work. The Alpha Jewel Lok is an innovation that is a simple lock to disallow product access. You cannot take a piece of jewelry off of a card with an Alpha Jewel Lok attached. The only option is to steal the Alpha Jewel Lok with the jewelry and set the alarm off.

They are simple by design, and at the forefront of leading retail anti theft devices technology.

 Retail anti theft devices need to provide value and be reliable. If they are not, there is no point in using them them. That is why Alpha Security puts a major focus on value and reliability when they design their products.

I see great plans to stop shrink that are so complicated to execute that the plan dies before it even has a chance to work. When a plan or product is simple to use and doesn’t disrupt the normal flow of business employees will execute more completely and customers won’t have a negative shopping impact.

Part of the reliability of Alpha Security retail anti theft devices is that they are simple to use. If your employees don’t execute the compliance piece to 100%, your investments to prevent shoplifting is now more expensive because there are loop holes that continue to allow shrink to happen. If it is easy, then your employees will use them.

They also will not upset customers with erroneous alarms. By making the retail anti theft devices visually appealing, the customers can continue to enjoy your carefully merchandised stores without unsightly security tools in place.

The Alpha Security Alpha Shark Tag is a small plastic tag that attaches to the front of a garment in a very conspicuous place. By design, these retail anti theft devices are designed to be a deterrent against customers who want to “wardrobe” an item. That means the consumer intends to buy a piece of clothing with the sole intent on wearing it once and then returning the item with a receipt for a full refund.

To prevent wardrobing, the store posts a visible return policy stating that the Alpha Shark Tag must be present and undamaged for a full refund to occur. If the customer tries to remove the tag, they will not be able to return the item without visible damage to the tag. 

Additionally, an unsuspecting shoplifter might bypass such an item because they assume the tags are also designed as a retail anti theft device. Just like certain items found in nature, the red color of the Alpha Shark Tag means stop. It can prevent shoplifting because the red color can be spotted far enough away from the clothing that the shoplifter might think it is another visual deterrent.

What if there was a way to prevent shoplifting that was designed specifically for jewelry? That would be such a game changer. Typically, retail anti-theft devices have not been designed with jewelry in mind. They are designed for clothing and have been adapted for jewelry and accessory usage only because there have not been other options available. As a result, these devices are usually attached to the packaging and not directly onto the jewelry.

This creates effectiveness issues as the retail anti-theft devices are easily defeated by separating the product from the packaging. Once the packaging is removed it is very easily discarded. That is why empty jewelry cards or tags found in a store are a clear indicator of theft.

Because the Alpha Jewel Lok is tailored for a specific product, the overall effectiveness is increased. Alpha Security designed the Alpha Jewel Lok retail anti theft devices to attach directly onto the product and not to the packaging. This makes it more difficult to steal the jewelry since the Alpha Jewel Lok provides a form of product denial. Without the detachers, it is virtually impossible to defeat the locks. It is more likely that you will destroy the jewelry before you can defeat the Alpha Jewel Lok.

Last week I went shopping to find a new pair of earrings. Because I was trying to match a particular outfit, I was limited with what style and color I could buy.

There were earrings missing, or lying on the ground in complete disarray. Just when I would spy a pair I really liked, there would be something wrong with them. Without a doubt it would be the only pair like that on the rounder, too!

It was so frustrating because this store had been completely ransacked in their fashion jewelry department. I went there specifically because they advertised having the best selection at the best prices.

Eventually, I just ended up leaving without making a purchase. It was completely frustrating because I work in security and I know that there is a company called Alpha Security that makes a whole range of products named Alpha Jewel Loks designed to prevent shoplifting from happening.

Alpha Jewel Loks easily attach to the jewelry, not the jewelry cards. This makes them harder to steal because the shoplifters can’t detach the retail anti theft devices. It also makes it easier for the stores to keep their merchandise together and undamaged. If you can’t get the earrings off the cards, you save yourself, and the customers, a huge amount of frustration.

The Alpha Shark Tag differs from most retail anti theft devices that are designed strictly to prevent shoplifting.

This is a plastic tag that attaches to the garment. It is in an obvious place on the clothes that makes it unattractive to be worn, especially in a formal setting such as a dance. It is also in a place that would be hard to hide or cover up with a wrap or jacket.

When the clothing is purchased, the tag stays on the clothes – different than traditional retail anti-theft devices, which are removed at the point of purchase.

The sales person explains that the item being purchased can be returned as long as the Alpha Security Alpha Shark Tag is left on. If the tag is cut off, you can easily deny the refund – and any potential one-time uses of your merchandise.

If you can easily deny refund on special occasion outfits, it will be less likely your customers attempt to “rent” your merchandise. In other words, they will be less tempted to purchase an item that they will wear once and then return.
