Invest in Deterring Theft with Bottle Security

Billions are lost each year to shoplifters, and there are no businesses that are exempt from this. Shoplifters become more savvy all the time, and are always coming up with new ways to defraud businesses out of their products.

Businesses that sell wines and liquors are no exception. From small liquor stores to large grocery stores that sell liquor and wines, all have experienced the impact of shoplifting on their profits. It’s a sad reality but one that doesn’t have to define your business. There are options available to help protect the product that you wish to display for your customers.

Bottle security, such as the EASy Bottle cap from Alpha Security, can be an affordable option for your business’s high end wine and liquors. These reusable bottle locks fit over the bottle’s cap and make the products nearly impossible to open prior to purchase. The bottle lock is easily removed with a key by your employees when the item is purchased, and then can be placed on additional bottles brought out for display.

Liquor bottle security such as this also allows you to display your products out in the open, where your customers can read labels and shop comfortably. You do not have to worry about having locked cases or employees looking over the shoulder of everyone who enters your business. The bottle lock does the work for you by making the bottle attractive to purchase, but not attractive to steal.

Thieves want the quick in and out with the merchandise they like to steal. They do not want to have to try and outthink bottle locks on the wine and liquors they wish to steal. An investment in bottle security such as this is an investment in future profits and real theft deterrents.

EASy Bottle locks. One of several bottle security options that works.

Alpha Security is starting to distinguish itself above many of the other developers in anti shoplifting devices.  The reason is twofold.  One, Alpha Security is developing security solutions, such as liquor bottle security, that many other providers don’t touch.  Secondly, Alpha Security designs its products to promote openly displaying product which is better for sales than using locked cases.

One of the prime solutions that Alpha features is its line of bottle security bottle locks.  There are several bottle locks to choose from to best fit your needs.  One is the EASy bottle bottle lock.  This EASy bottle bottle lock works with your existing EAS system (both AM and RF) to sound the alarm when theft is taking place.  The new units feature a clear top that is very visually aesthetic and also allows the tax ID stamp to be easily viewed.  This can be used for liquor bottle security or most any other type of alcohol bottle security as it comes in several sizes.

For items like champagne that have foil wraps and large tops you may choose the steel grip bottle lock.  This item goes around the stem of the bottle and has an EAS tag built in.  It won’t damage the packaging of the bottle, but still gives you the bottle security you need to reduce the chance of theft.

If you sell alcohol in your store you understand the importance that bottle security plays in protecting your profits.  Don’t let your sales be capped due to locking the product up.  Use one of the bottle locks available to protect your product and your sales.

Bottle locks. Because anyone can be a thief.

There are many reasons to steal alcohol.  Persons under 21 want to drink, but can’t legally purchase the product.  The homeless guy on the corner can’t afford the price.  The resale value is intriguing for Organized Retail Crime rings.  Employee’s find it easy and maybe don’t like the boss so that’s a win-win.  The regular guy just wants to see if he can get away with it.

With all of these factors it’s a wonder many liquor stores are still in business.  To this end I want to suggest stores who sell any type of alcohol products to consider using some type of bottle security as a way to protect their products from the ever lurking thieves.  I personally use bottle locks by Alpha Security at the grocery store chain where I work.  The EASy bottle bottle locks are amazing.  They are small and don’t impact the ability to stock the shelves.  The EASy bottle bottle locks work with the existing EAS system to alarm in the event someone does try to steal the product. 

The benefit of using a bottle lock is twofold.  One, it deters theft by preventing shoplifters from being able to get to the “product” which is the contents of the bottles.  It also allows me to openly display my higher end product which has increased sales.  Customers like to handle product and are more likely to buy when they can touch the product and when they don’t have to wait on an employee to unlock a case.  Since using bottle security products by Alpha Security I have seen a decrease in theft and an increase in sales.  No more proof needed to let me know that liquor bottle security is a great investment.

Liquor bottle security made EASy.

Whether you sell liquor or other wines and spirits, you know the importance of bottle security.  This is a commodity group that is targeted by many different types of persons.  You have individual stealing for personal use.  These stores can often be a target for Organized Retail Crime (ORC).  Liquor stores are often targets for hold ups.  While bottle locks can’t solve all the crime, it can take a pretty good bite out of the shoplifting portion.

EASy bottle bottle locks are made by Alpha Security.  They are a great tool to use in an effort to thwart theft.  The EASy bottle bottle lock is a cap that fits over the spout of most alcohol bottles and prevents the contents from being removed.  It is extremely hard to get off even if the customer gets it out of the store.  Additionally, the EASy bottle lock works with your existing EAS system to sound your door alarm in the event of a theft.

This does a few things for your business.  One, it deters the majority of those stealing for personal use as they have no way to remove the bottle lock.  Secondly, it goes a long way to deterring ORC.  Criminals stealing for resale look for easy marks.  They want to get in and out quick and they lose a significant amount of resale value if they have product that appears to be tampered with.  If they do find a way to remove the bottle security locks the bottles will defiantly show signs of tamper so the decreased value made the risk of theft not worth it.  It would be better for these thieves to go elsewhere to steal.  All in all, bottle security is a must and the products by Alpha Security make my job much easier.

Boosting Profits with Bottle Security

Some shoplifters are quite brazen. I recently researched a case in which a shoplifter hid merchandise in between some cardboard boxes and casually walked out of the front of the business. This customer just appeared to be getting boxes for a move, instead of walking out with $1100 worth of merchandise, tucked away between a few boxes.

This is an extreme example, but even businesses that sell wines and liquors can be impacted by bold thefts. Bottle security is an option to help prevent theft in these businesses. Bottle locks, such as the EASy bottle cap from AlphaSecurity, attach to the cap of your high theft and high end wines and liquors. The bottle locks are removable by your employees at the time of purchase, but make the bottles nearly impossible to open by shoplifters.

A bottle lock such as the EASy bottle cap is reusable. Once you sell a bottle of wine or liquor with a bottle lock on it, the lock is removed and can be placed on another bottle to be displayed. This type of continued protection of your merchandise can greatly reduce your losses due to shoplifting. Liquor bottle security also allows you to have merchandise to sell instead of having empty shelves where your merchandise was before it was stolen. You can imagine which one is better for business.

It’s not a good idea to just wait for shoplifters to find creative ways to leave your business with your merchandise. Liquor bottle security can provide excellent security of your merchandise for a minimal investment. The product is no good if the shoplifter cannot get it open, so bottle locks encourage the thieves to go elsewhere.

“A Shoplifter Only Stole A $25 Bottle From Me. I Don’t Need Bottle Security.” Guess What…He Got Much More!

That $25 bottle actually cost you a lot more in real dollars that liquor bottle security would have prevented. You have to make up for the theft of that bottle just to break even. If your store operates on a typical 2% profit margin. That’s the margin after payroll, tax, insurance, the light bill, and any other overhead you will have to sell and additional $1,250 JUST TO BREAK EVEN ($25/.02). That’s right, the next $1250 goes for making up for the $25 bottle the shoplifter stole. The simple solution is bottle security for your sales floor.

Alpha Security has the best bottle lock products on the market. They are high quality and very easy to use. One twist or push of a button and the bottle security is in place. Liquor bottle security has really come of age. The bottle lock is low profile, light and tough. It requires a special Alpha Security key to unlock them. The bottle lock is also reusable. The cashier simply removes it and drops it into a basket under the cash wrap to be used again on another bottle.

If you lose $500 a week in shoplifting losses that is $26,000 per year in theft that translates to $1.3 million dollars a year in actual losses to you. No company can make money in that environment.

One of the first liquor bottle security devices that Alpha Security created is called EASy Bottle (Electronic Article Surveillance). EASy Bottle is a solid black bottle lock that comes in several sizes. It prevents the bottle from being opened in the store and if a shoplifter attempts to steal the bottle then the bottle lock sets off the Checkpoint System at the doors. There are now newer versions such as Crystal Guard and EASy Guarde. Those bottle locks have clear acrylic tops and are a much lower profile. They fit on the shelf better and have a much smaller over all footprint. EASy Bottle bottle locks are so popular that they are still available.

Go ahead and pop the top to a nice beverage. I dare you to try.

While you try I am going to stand back and enjoy the show because I know my liquor bottle security from Alpha security can’t be beat.  Package stores are often easy targets for theft as they usually are staffed with just enough people to man the counter.  This means that for the better part of the time there may be only 1 or 2 associates to checkout customers and try to watch the product.  The result is the customers get helped and the product gets taken.

That doesn’t have to be the case any longer.  Alpha security is a leader in bottle security.  The EASy bottle bottle lock goes over the cap of most any alcohol bottle to protect the product.  The bottle lock keeps the thief from being able to get to the contents on the inside.  Additionally, the EASy bottle bottle lock has a built in EAS tag that works with your existing EAS system to sound an alarm if someone is dumb enough to try to steal the bottle.

As mentioned, Alpha Security has more than just liquor bottle security.  Their bottle locks can be used as bottle security for high end wines and spirits as well.  Another great part about Alpha’s bottle security products is that they are reusable.  Unlike simple soft tags that have to be replaced, these bottle locks get removed at the time of purchase and then reused on the new product coming in.  Unless you do something to damage the bottle locks they will last you for a long time.  It’s much better to enjoy that cold one knowing your product is safe than needing a drink after looking at your profit and loss statement.

Bottle Locks Protect Your Top Shelf to Save Top Dollar

Here’s a quick snapshot of what life was like for me before I discovered bottle locks. Maybe you can relate. You stocked the shelves just hours or minutes before with your best brands of whiskey or vodka or some other liquor and then walk by later only to notice an empty spot on the shelf. Trouble is you don’t remember selling it.

Liquor bottle security can be a huge concern. It only takes one or two theft incidents to very quickly lose lots of profits, especially when the brands and types that are targeted for theft are your most expensive, top shelf brands. If you have EAS towers in your store, I have found that liquor bottle security like the EASy Bottle bottle lock by Alpha Security provide a great visual deterrent to would-be thieves as well as a great way for your to protect your bottom line without ruining the visual presentation of the merchandise on the shelves. The bottle lock just snaps over the bottle lid and allow the bottles to beep when they pass through security towers just like tags do on clothing and items at other stores.

EASy Bottle locks from Alpha Security are simple to install and easy for cashiers to remove at the point of sale and not only save you money, but are also a great awareness builder around theft in your store. By placing the EASy Bottle locks on your top shelf, more expensive brands, it is easy for sales people to quickly identify which items might be more likely to be stolen and more able to help you drive profits in your business.

Bottle up your savings with Alpha security.

If your store sales alcohol then you know what a nightmare shoplifting is.  It’s almost enough to drive you to … well, drink yourself.  My suggestion is turn to Alpha security and not AA to solve this particular problem.  Bottle security will always be a problem in this genre of retail.  Whether you need liquor bottle security or bottle security for expensive wines and spirits; Alpha Security has you covered.

There are several benefits to using EASy bottle bottle locks on your product.  For one, the bottle lock prevents the contents (and your profits) from being drained by capping the bottle.  Secondly, EASy bottle locks work with your existing EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) systems to alert you of possible theft.  One thing I have learned in my many years of Loss Prevention is that if someone gets away with product once, they will be back.  While we count on bottle security to deter theft (which it will do in many cases) I like knowing that after the alarm is activated I can find out who was stealing.  That means next time I am ready and the police will be on speed dial as soon as that person comes back into the store.

Another great aspect of using the bottle lock provided by Alpha security is the ability to openly display your product.  Before you would never consider putting $200 Cristal on the shelf because you know if would go missing in a hurry.  Now you can safely put the product in the customer’s hands and hopefully in their shopping carts thanks to this type of bottle security.

Whether you are a package store needing liquor bottle security or just a grocery store looking to secure your wine, Alpha Security is a name you need to know.
