Does a simple bottle lock increase my profits?

A bottle lock is simple device placed to prevent the theft of bottles, specifically liquor.

A drug store chain I work for experience customer theft of liquor directly off the salesfloor. The shoplifters would simply walk down the liquor aisle, select their brand, conceal the item and walk out of the store. There was nothing available to stop these thieves from cleaning out the store and killing all profits.

Alpha security provided my stores with the appropriate device to secure the stores profits. A bottle lock. Managers we initially skeptical about how well these devices would work and would they really help boost profits? As the representative from Alpha Security told the manager, the store would see an almost immediate decrease in the amount of customer theft. Certainly looking at this bottle lock program could create doubt, but the proof was in the product.

A week went by. As manager rolled the bottle lock program out, they cycle counted the most stolen brands. Within that same week, they lost 98% fewer bottles of liquor by brand because of the Alpha Security Bottle lock.

I personally feel that bottle locks on a liquor bottle greatly deters the everyday shoplifter. By placing the lock over the top of the bottle, the shoplifter cannot get out of the store without alarming the store staff. Overall, the decrease in theft by using Alpha Security products has helped not only this one store, but all of the stores I oversee. In fact, each time I visit stores, I ensure they are executing our bottle security program 100%.

Bottle security should be the priority of any liquor store, grocer or retailer selling. Bottle security is the key ingredient to keeping your profits. If you have no Bottle Security you have no product. If you have not product, you have not profits. Think about your bottle security program.
