Who buys products that don’t work?  The answer is, “No one”.  What business invests in equipment that doesn’t work?  Again, the answer is “None”.  The point I hope to get across is that in most all major business you will find retail anti theft devices.  The reason you will find them everywhere is because they work well to prevent shoplifting.

 I hear a lot of business leaders question the effectiveness of retail anti theft devices.  This is surprising to me as many are from my own company and we have shown repeatedly how effective these devices are to prevent shoplifting.  Here is a recent example of how I got to prove my point to a particularly skeptical Store Manager that I have.

 We use EAS tags on a lot of our boxed products.  This particularly goes for cosmetics, razors and other health and beauty products.  I was teaching a new LP agent how to catch shoplifters and we had noticed during our walk that only about half of the high dollar products were properly tagged.  Not too long after that we observed a shoplifter on the Health and Beauty aisle.  It was comical as we watched, because he picked up the highest dollar product, saw it was tagged and put it back.  He then did the same with the two price levels lower and finally found a price level not tagged and then attempted to steal that line.  It was clear how he wasn’t about to take the tagged product and had he not found any untagged I know he would have gone to the store across the street and tried there.  It was a perfect example to share with that manager just how impactful retail anti theft devices are to prevent shoplifting.

You may be wondering why a Pharmacy would need retail anti theft devices when the narcotics and “good” drugs are all behind the counter.  The reason is that there are plenty of over the counter (OTC) medications that are highly target for shoplifting.  In order to protect these products stores need to consider investing in retail anti theft devices in order to prevent shoplifting.

 If you work in the Pharmacy business or sell OTC items in your store then you probably know there are a handful of products that can be used to make illegal drugs.  These products are hard to keep on the shelf for your legitimate clientele and you have the added responsibility to the greater good to try to keep your products from being used illegally.  In addition, there are just some popular items that are expensive and customers don’t want to pay for them.  With that said, I suggest Keeper cases from Alpha security as the answer to prevent shoplifting.  The Keeper cases are hard plastic cases that come in a variety of sizes.  They are made with intention of being just a little bigger than the product (so it will fit inside) without taking up unnecessary shelf space.

 The Keeper cases have an EAS tag built in so not only do they prevent the customer from getting to the product, they also work with your existing EAS system to alert you of potential theft.  The Keeper cases also give you the flexibility to keep you products openly displayed which is better for sales.  In my company we have seen a noticeable increase in smoking cessation sales since we moved them from locked cases to the Keeper cases.  And the best part … we still are controlling shrink.

 There have been times in my career in retail loss prevention that it felt like it was impossible to prevent shoplifting.  For every thief that we caught, it seemed that there were plenty more to take his or her place.  For every employee that we fired for theft, there would soon be another one that we would hire.

 Preventing loss due to shoplifting is an important part of every business, and businesses cannot give up when it seems the fight is an impossible one to win.  In order to prevent shoplifting, the business owner has to have a mindset that the efforts that he or she is putting forth are for the better good – the profitability and very existence of the business.  Shoplifting can be that detrimental to business – it can mean the difference between being open and having to shut down.

 Retail anti theft devices are an option for retailers to explore if it seems that preventing shoplifting is becoming a losing battle.  These devices are affixed to your high theft and high end merchandise, and are a visual deterrent to shoplifters.  They also sound an alarm if they leave your business without being removed, and they are nearly impossible to remove without a key that your employees would have at the registers. 

 There are plenty of retail anti theft devices available for businesses to consider.  It is a minimal investment that can provide maximum rewards, such as recovered sales, minimized loss due to shrink, and peace of mind for the business owner.

Spider wraps from Alpha are the cutting edge in retail anti theft devices.  We all know that it is important to prevent shoplifting in order to be successful.  What we have all found is some retail anti theft devices have the unintended consequences of also preventing sales.

 Locked cases are the death touch for sales.  We have all used them and in some cases they are just plain necessary.  The problem is customers don’t want to wait for an associate so they can read the info on a package and decide if it is the right product for them.  Customers want to handle the product and when they can’t they don’t buy.  Spider wraps are the answer to this quandary.  The Spider wrap is a reusable wire that goes around boxed product and secures an alarm to the product.  If the item with the Spider wrap tries to leave the store, via theft, then the alarm will sound.  Additionally, if a really smart crook tries to cut the wire the alarm will sound.  In case you have never used this product let me fill you in on a little secret.  This is not a small alarm.  This joker is loud and sure to draw lots of attention to the shoplifter.  The result, shoplifters don’t mess with products in Spider wraps as there is no good way to beat this system.

 Another positive about this is you can virtually do away with locked cases.  Those high dollar items that you once had under lock and key can now be displayed on the shelf for customer to look at, handle and hopefully buy.  In truth the product pays for itself in increased sales as well as prevent shoplifting.  Not bad for a little ole retail anti theft device now is it?

If you have spent any time in business you know the key to success is to anticipate your customer’s needs and have a solution waiting.  On the converse, in order to maintain business you have to prevent shoplifting among the many areas that can drain your profits.  One key to prevent shoplifting is to utilize retail anti theft devices.

 There are a variety of retail anti theft devices that can be used.  An increasingly popular solution is Safer cases produced by Alpha.  I have started using these cases in my stores and have seen a huge impact.  The Safer cases are clear hard plastic cases that you actually lock the product up in.  Now I already hear the complaints, but I urge you to hear me out.  I am not talking about locking up merchandise in case lines.  We all know that customers are less likely to buy something that they have to wait for an associate to get for them.  These cases are individual boxes.  They stock on the shelf and the customer can still get the product themselves and take it to the register.  The cashier then simply removes the product from the case (in seconds) and rings the product up.

A real benefit to this is you can actually remove those high dollar items from the locked cabinets and put them in Safer cases.  This will still secure the product and prevent shoplifting while also growing sales as it makes the product much easier for your customer to access.

In a discount clothing chain I once worked for, the stores were reluctant to incorporate retail anti theft devices initially, because they did not want to spend the money on the investment. What this told me was they were not sold on the effectiveness of the retail anti theft devices available on the market. My job was clear, I had to show results. I talked an owner into testing some of these retail anti theft devices on merchandise considered high theft, or high shrink and we would monitor the sales and shrink over the next 30 days. It was pretty simple. In fact, the security devices we used, impacted theft so distinctly within the first week, the owner was encouraged to roll out a store wide program.

There are many different retail anti theft devices on the market today.  One set of products that I absolutely have fallen in love with are the Safer Cases from Alpha.  These products do more than just prevent shoplifting.  They also add a positive visual aesthetic to your shelf presentation; which, from a merchandising standpoint is great for sales.

 These retail anti theft devices are hard plastic boxes that you can lock your boxed or package products in.  They are great because the customer can still handle the product and read the product information without having to wait on an associate to unlock a case for them.  Once at the register the cashier has a key to unlock the Safer case and ring the product up.  It can prevent shoplifting by keeping a shoplifter from being able to easily conceal the product.  In addition, there is a sensor tag built into the lid of the case that will activate the existing EAS alarm if someone tries to steal the product.

 As for visual aesthetics they make the product look great and make the shelves look full.  One problem with that most stores face is the issue of putting out too much of a high theft product because they don’t want the shelves to look empty.  This sets them up for Organized Retail Crime rings to wipe out a large amount of product at one time since it was all sitting out.  The Safer cases do take up a little room, but that is good as it adds depth to the shelf.  You can get away with having just a few items out to purchase without looking like you are going out of business.  Additionally, it makes it easy to keep items in odd shaped packages neat and orderly.  In the boxes everything lines up in nice crisp rows that really add an organized look to the shelf.
