Alpha security has been a leader in product security devices for many years. Only recently, was I able to use these devices to help a retailer protect their profits.

A growing chain of supermarkets was experiencing a high volume of loss in their liquor department. They looked at shipments from vendors and the receiving process to help understand where these losses were happening and how. Knowing loss prevention and the trends showing customer theft activity pertaining to liquor, I recommended Alpha Security products. More specifically, I asked them give EASy bottle locks a try. A former partner of mine works for a larger chain of drug stores and had great success with EASy bottle locks, in fact he recommends any retailer, large or small, selling liquor to use these EASy bottle locks if product security is a must.

Taking my recommendations, this chain ordered enough bottle locks to cover the entire liquor department in 10 stores. Almost overnight, stores noticed a dramatic difference in the liquor departments. No more big holes on the display shelves, no more opened containers and no more wondering. Bottle locks were working, and this was only the beginning. My team and I continued to monitor the liquor bottle security program in each of the stores. The biggest challenge we faced in each store, was not whether or not bottle locks from Alpha security worked, it was ensuring the store had enough product to fill the shelves. Funny how selling works, you actually must have product in the stores to make sales. And boy were sales made. Adding this liquor bottle security program, the company saw a 30% increase in comparative liquor sales and look forward to their future growth and the use of bottle locks.

Bottle locks where an item that I hardly used in my career but knew from speaking and reading about anti devices that they work well and are crucial to having proper Bottle security. Which is how I address the issue when a friend of mine asks my opinion on Liquor bottle security due to the fact that he was buying a sports bar? According to him the previous owner stated that he lost a lot of merchandise during the off hours.

So I explained to him what a bottle lock can do to protect his stock as well as other merchandise from Alpha security such as Easy Bottle lock by using these bottle locks he can protect his merchandise during the off hours. He can place Easy bottle locks when the bar closes and it can prevent anyone from drinking from the stock.

Over the course of my career I have had worked in several different states across the country. Each time I moved, I needed to reacquaint myself with the local and state laws regarding beer, wine and liquor sales.

Some states are dry on Sundays, and sales Saturday have a specific cut off point. Some allow liquor only to be sold in sate run stores and locations. In the state I currently live in, beer, wine and hard liquor can be sold by just about everyone in the retail community. You see it at the local supermarkets, convenience stores, drive thru, the big box retailers, and even the local dollar stores are in on a piece of the action.

With such a competitive market, each and every sale needs to count. Bottle security is extremely vital. Loss of product not only robs you of your inventory, but also the sales and the customer loyalty. I highly recommend using any of Alpha Security’s bottle locks to enhance the local store’s bottle security.

With so much on the line, I don’t see how it makes any sense to not use bottle locks or any sort of bottle security. All too often I see a lack of security on a store’s alcohol and I know they are dearly paying the price.

It absolutely amazes me that more retailers are not actively concerned about their liquor bottle security. When I say, “actively concerned” I am really talking about a lack of any visible type of bottle security. It doesn’t just have to be hard liquor, but expensive wines as well.

I was out at my local liquor store this evening. As I walked up and down the aisles, I noticed that this particular retailer had shelves absolutely jam packed with bottles. They had such a variety, it was almost overwhelming. I think I saw wines from every corner of the world. Some places I didn’t even know they could make wines.

What I didn’t see were any bottle locks. Not a single bottle had a bottle lock for bottle security. I had to wonder to myself that maybe this retailer was over saturating their inventory with a huge variety of SKUs to attempt to make up for their shrink losses. It would make sense. That wouldn’t be the first time I have stumbled across a store trying desperately to out run their shrink.

I some times forget that not everyone knows how much difference a device like a bottle lock can make. Many retailers and small business owners don’t know that there are solutions for preventing inventory losses. It’s just a matter of looking in the right places.

People do some crazy things when they are drunk. I have some wild stories about a few college buddies. It seems like they always start with “ Yeah this one time we were out drinking…” While some of them are pretty down right funny, others can be a little scary.

Over the years I have apprehended my share of shoplifters who stole under the influence. Generally when we called the local police in, they would discover that the liquor had been stolen from another retailer as well.

While I typically try to focus my shrink reduction strategies around my own store, I do think about how another retailer’s losses are directly related to mine.

If the liquor store down the street was using some sort of liquor bottle security like bottle locks, would we be seeing the same amount of losses?

I know that Alpha Security makes a comprehensive line of bottle locks and other forms of liquor bottle security. Would it really be that hard to use them on your product? Sometimes I want to go over and volunteer my services. I want to tell them to do us all a favor and increase their bottle security.

I am sure that if I am suffering losses, so is every one else in the neighborhood. One small step for them could make a huge impact for the rest of us.

While looking over some of the various solutions in liquor bottle security, I came across a rather interesting find. Alpha Security, one of the better companies who make bottle locks, has what is called the Alpha Steel Grip.

This particular bottle lock is a little different than some of Alpha Security’s other types of bottle locks, like the EASy Bottle Bottle Lock. Instead of being a cap that slides over the mouth of a bottle, this is more of a ring that is secured around the bottle’s neck.

The Alpha Steel Grip is just that. It is a steel band that has a hard tag inside of it and will set off an alarm if anyone tries to steal the bottle. A lot of time was spent to make sure that this version is much more superior than some of the previous versions. It is definitely better than any sort of cheap import or knock off that you could come across. The grips come in two rather accommodating sizes; Small and Extra Large.

I think one of the things I like best is that it would be more versatile than some of the bottle caps because it could potentially be used for champagne bottles as well as wine and liquor. Because the grips are removes versus being deactivated, it is important to understand the versatility you have when you re use the Alpha Steel Grips on a different bottle.

It is that time of year when everyone turns his or her attention to one of the all time greatest sporting events: NCAA basketball tournament play. I am a huge basketball fan. Every year I grab my family and friends and we diligently fill out our brackets. I obsessively check my brackets after every game to see where we are. I have a hard time even waiting for the brackets to download. It really is an obsession.

Much like the super bowl, March is filled with millions of sporting fans hosting parties. It is not uncommon for them to also involve alcohol. While beer may be a key player, hard liquor is sure to turn up. While everyone wants to have a good time, not everyone is willing to pay for it.

If you haven’t thought about liquor bottle security before now, you might want to start. There are so many simple ways to protect your merchandise from theft. One of those ways is the EASy bottle bottle lock by Alpha Security.

This bottle lock is a protective cover placed over the cap of a bottle. The lock is removed at the point of purchase.
