EASy Bottle Security Keeps Merchandise Safe

EASy Bottle bottle locks by Alpha Security work to protect your liquor profits 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Nothing drives me crazier than having no control over my liquor departments.

As a former store manager, I was on top of liquor bottle security. I knew the importance of protecting the merchandise to boost profits and how important liquor bottle security was for the customers. As a loss prevention professional, I make recommendations daily to clients, managers, and business owners about EASy Bottle bottle locks and how they work. I like to use real life examples as I feel it gives an honest picture of merchandise protection.

Working in a large city with high incidents of crime, especially theft I am more aware of the importance of bottle security. A company I have, refused in years past to use EASy Bottle bottle locks or any type of bottle lock for that matter. They assumed that if a thief wants to steal the merchandise, he’ll steal the merchandise. In some cases, this is true. However, thieves like this don’t want to be recognized, they want to get in and out of the stores with little hassle. Placing a bottle lock on your liquor items takes out the possibility of getting in and out of your stores unnoticed.

Another issue I sometimes hear, usually from new managers, is that EASy bottle bottle locks take too long to put on the merchandise, or that putting a bottle lock on each liquor item will eat into payroll. I laugh when I hear this because these managers leave themselves so exposed. Instantly, this tells me that the managers have NEVER put a bottle cap on merchandise nor have yet learned the true value of these types of bottle security. Typically and to call their bluff, I’ll ask the manager to show me how to install the EASy bottle lock. I get the same answer each time… “I’m busy!”

A bottle lock will provide the bottle security your business needs.

Bottle Security is the Key in Atlanta Georgia

There is a key to bottle security and it is the key that removes the bottle lock, a product of Alpha Security, from the openly displayed bottle of high theft liquor or wine.

Customer theft has been a continuing problem for spirits retailers since the first product was displayed for sale.  Certain brands, particularly those that are popular and/or have a high price point had a habit of disappearing from the shelves without having been paid for, certainly an annoyance to the store owner.

Retailers tried various means of liquor bottle security including limiting displays of the high loss items, leaving them behind or under the counter, or displaying them only in locked cabinets like they were artifacts in a museum.

This certainly had the desired effect of reducing customer theft, but it also had a negative impact on sales, since customers are more apt to buy merchandise they can pick up, handle and inspect.

Alpha Security has the solution for retailers that allows both open display of the product and liquor bottle security to discourage and prevent theft on a couple of levels.

Once installed on the bottle, one type of bottle lock can’t be removed without damaging the bottle and ruining the contents, denying use of the product to the thief.  This bottle lock fits over the top of the bottle and can only be removed at the point of sale by the clerk with a proprietary key.  The EASy bottle liquor bottle security contains a device that is sensed by a system at the entrance that will emit an alarm if the EASy bottle lock hasn’t been removed.

Another type attaches around the neck of the bottle and also contains the EAS device.  None of the bottle locks can be removed or defeated without a key, a huge deterrent to shoplifters.

Shoplifters know and avoid stores that use bottle locks as their chief means of bottle security.

Liquor Bottle Security is As Important As Sales

How can that be? Liquor Bottle Security couldn’t possibly be as important as sales themselves, right? Well, the truth is, they are equally important. If you have no liquor bottle security, you’ll lose the product severely impacting your positive sales growth.

Being in the loss prevention industry, I have really been able to take a step back and objectively look at the business as a whole. What I have learned is that retailers of liquor must utilize bottle security. If there is still a business owner or manager out there that believes liquor bottle security is unimportant, they’d better be ready to close up shop or stop selling the merchandise. If you sell liquor, you have theft. Be it from customers or employees, liquor is leaving your building unpaid for, and in some cases, the liquor never makes it to your stores. Those of you that sell liquor surely have seen the empty spaces on the shelves after just stocking it earlier in the day. It didn’t sell, so where did it go?

Bottle security will give any retailer the sense of security or piece of mind it needs to successful profit from increased sales. In fact, I have seen some liquor business increase as much as 30% by simply implementing liquor bottle security. Whatever the plan is, bottle security is important. One of the easiest forms of bottle security to implement is a simple bottle lock. The EASy Bottle bottle lock from Alpha Security works to protect each individual bottle and almost be its own personal guard. A bottle lock takes no longer to install than it takes to place the bottle on the shelf. As a visual deterrence, bottle locks will help stop theft by the amateurs or those looking to quickly get merchandise in and out of the store.

Make no mistake; bottle security is an important part of any retail business. Put bottle security in your business today!

Bottle Lock Stops Thief Cold

Stores that sell liquor should be using some form of bottle security to protect their merchandise from theft. Liquor bottle security is hard because liquor is one of those tricky items to protect. It is very highly desirable and will be stolen by both employees and shoplifters. So what kind of liquor bottle security is available to you?

Traditionally, bottle security was locking up was alcohol in a cage on the salesfloor, behind the registers or stock was minimized on the salesfloor… plus a few other ways. However, these methods proved relatively ineffective because most cut into the sales of the department. Locking merchandise in a cage is a customer service nightmare, but leaving the merchandise on the shelf unprotected is dangerous. Well, with the creation of the EASy Bottle bottle lock by Alpha Security, alcohol can be left on the shelf with very minimal loss.

Recently, I had a store with a huge bottle security problem they had no form of bottle locks and were basically giving away the merchandise. The store was somewhat new, had only been through one inventory cycle, and really hadn’t experience liquor loss. However, taking a quick snap shot of the merchandise in stock, bottle security was clearly a problem. I spoke with the management and recommended some form of bottle locks. Their solution initially was to restrict the stock on the salesfloor and the put the overstock in the manager’s office. If customers wanted a bottle at a particular price point, they could simply ask the manager for it. Um, not the best idea, unless they had the manager available the entire time the store was open.

Liquor bottle security does not have to be complicated. Attach a simple EASy bottle bottle lock from Alpha Security to your merchandise and monitor what you have in stock. Look at your sales regularly and make sure you have the right employees working the liquor department. Let the bottle lock do what it was designed to do, boost your sales, a provide liquor bottle security.

Innovative Bottle Security Removes Frustration – Atlanta Georgia

Bottle security has been an issue that has caused plenty of frustration among stores that sell bottled spirits and wine.  The frustration comes when the owner or manager is walking the floor to re-order, or a vendor turns in an order and he finds himself ordering product that he hasn’t sold.  The reason he is having to order replenishment for unsold merchandise is that the store has been hit by thieves.

Shoplifters being what they are, generally go after the most expensive brands.  After all, if you’re stealing, why not steal the best?

Also frustrating is finding several bottles on display that have been opened and tasted, sniffed, or sampled.  A bottle without an intact tax stamp goes back to the storeroom.

Alpha Security, a manufacturer of security products including innovative bottle locks that keep the tops on the bottles until the clerk removes them, provides the solution to these liquor bottle security problems.

Not only do the bottle locks prevent the removal of the bottle tops, they can also provide even more liquor bottle security by preventing the product from leaving the store with the bottle lock attached.  Some models have an EAS tag imbedded in the bottle lock itself so that when used in conjunction with an EAS system, an alarm is sounded whenever someone attempts to take out merchandise protected by liquor bottle security tops.  Only an employee with a proprietary key can remove bottle locks.

Alpha Security, manufacturer of security products for various lines of merchandise, relieves the frustration of missing merchandise with its selection of EASy bottle products that keep the merchandise in the store and the top on until it is sold.

EASy bottle bottle security allows the customer to handle the merchandise from an open display and read the labels when comparing products for selection.  High value/popular items will no longer be displayed behind the counter or in a locked display.  Merchants can display even the most expensive wines openly when the bottle is protected with bottle locks from Alpha Security.

Frustration goes down and profits go up with liquor bottle security.

Shoplifter Repellant – Bottle Locks – Atlanta Georgia

Bottle locks are to wine and liquor shoplifters what OFF!®  Insect Repellant is to mosquitoes.  As soon as they know it’s there, they head the other way.

Liquor bottle security has been a problem since the first bottle of spirits was openly displayed.  Alcohol is a prime target for a large segment of people that don’t want to pay for the merchandise.  There are underage people, there are the addicted, and there are those that don’t feel that they need to pay premium dollars for a premium product.  Champagne tastes on a beer budget, maybe?

Whatever the reason, liquor bottle security has its own specific set of challenges.  Customers, particularly those that are considering buying top shelf spirits and expensive wine, want to pick the bottle up, inspect it, and read the label.  Before bottle locks, the seller had to take care that his product didn’t walk out the door under some shoplifter’s jacket.  But hiding the product in a locked display or displaying it behind the counter hurt sales, when customers had to ask for the product by name.  Hidden and safe, or open display and stolen, less profit either way.

But along bottle locks and the shoplifter has a decision to make.  Does he want to take a chance on stealing a bottle protected by an Alpha Security bottle lock, or does he want to go to another store where the management doesn’t take shoplifting so seriously?

The bottle lock protects the bottle in two ways.  A cap fits over the bottle and locks easily into place so that the bottle cap or cork can no longer be removed, denying the thief the benefit of the product.  With a bottle lock in place, the bottle can only be opened by a special key that only the store has, or by breaking the bottle, which spoils the contents.  Bottle locks are equipped with an EAS (electronic article surveillance device) that work with retail anti theft devices.  When a bottle with the EASy bottle security by Alpha Security attached passes near the detector at the exit, an alarm is emitted, alerting the store staff that a bottle lock is leaving the building.  Shoplifters want two things other than free merchandise, and those are not to attract attention and not to get caught.  EASy bottle security makes both of those things likely in the event a shoplifter tries to steal merchandise protected with by bottle locks, the ultimate shoplifter repellant.

Bottle Locks And Customer Service

If I use bottle locks in my liquor store wont my good customers be put off by the liquor bottle security? This is a good question but it should be asked in a different way. If you don’t use bottle locks will it drive your good customers away?

Liquor bottle security is a win-win for everyone. If you do not stop the shoplifters or at least keep them down to a minimum then you will have to raise prices to cover your losses. How will your good customers react to that? They will go down the street to your competition! The use of a bottle lock does not interfere at all with the customer’s view of your product. In fact your good customers will probably ignore a bottle lock security program. They are not there to shoplift. As long as a bottle lock does not interfere with their ability to view, select and purchase your selections then it is off little concern to them.

That is another reason to use a bottle lock that has a small footprint, and has a clear top. The good customer will look past it so to speak. But here is the big advantage. A liquor bottle security program allows you to get merchandise out onto the floor that you may be keeping locked up in a case or behind the counter. Customers like that! Bottle security works!

Alpha security produces several bottle locks that fit the bill. The first generation is EASy Bottle. Great product and secure. However, for the newer bottle security look and features look to EASy Guard and Crystal Guard also by Alpha Security.

A liquor bottle security program will run off the shoplifters. There are easier targets for them… your competition! If you drive the shoplifters away they will go somewhere. If they cannot figure it out then THEY will loose money.

An EASy bottle lock is a hard plastic bottle lock which can only be removed by using a special key when the bottle is purchased.

Additionally, your customers like to be able to browse your products, handle the bottles, and read the labels. If bottle security is not used businesses owners just could not afford to allow this luxury.

Either way, sales suffer due to these restrictions.
