Not everyone is a thief, don’t let your customer suffer…

When you are in a retail establishment that is a high shrink area, it is easy to be distrustful of the customers coming in to shop. After a while you or your staff may just start to assume that everyone is a crook. When that mentality starts to take over, the level of customer service that everyone receives starts to go down.

When service diminishes, more than likely, so do sales. Now the theft problem becomes even bigger as it rips away even more of your profit, as the sales are not compensating for the shrink losses.

One of the best ways to bring back that level of service, and redeem your dwindling sales is to employ the use of liquor bottle locks with your liquor bottle security.

Alpha Security makes a line called the EASy Bottle, because it really is easy. They are easy to use, easy to audit for compliance, and easy to ward off the crooks in your store.

Once your liquor bottle security is in place, you can easily go back to providing customer service, without judgment, to your clientele. You can let the locks protect your inventory without you needing to maintain constant vigilance and suspicion.

Liquor Bottle Security doesn’t have to be seasonal.

Every thing has its moment, its place in time, if you will. Liquors and their mixed drink counterparts are no different. They each hold their specific time in the spotlight. Sometimes that drink might be a seasonal drink – margaritas and pina coladas in the summer, hot toddies in the winter. Sometimes it could be a drink sensation that catches on over a matter of months or even years.

Bottle security, in order to be effective, needs to be able to have the same type of seasonality to it. Liquor bottle security needs to be transitional.

That is one of the nice things about Alpha Security’s liquor bottle locks. Once you make the initial investment in liquor bottle locks for your bottle security, there is no set application.

If you have an increase in sales and theft of tequila in the month of May, then you can focus your liquor bottle security on tequila. Need to make a switch to rum or wines in the winter, easy. All you have to do is move the liquor bottle locks to the area you want to focus on.

No more trying to franticly devise new and innovative controls to stop the theft in your stores. Just simply remove and reuse the locks wherever you need, whenever you need.

Bottle Security is nearly impossible to defeat…

I love stores that have bottle security in place. All of those liquor bottle locks are like soldiers in a neat little row, little plastic caps glistening in the compact fluorescent lighting. They seem to call out to the shoplifters saying, “Go ahead, I dare you to take me”.

It’s like having a little warning label on each individual bottle. You would have to be seriously desperate to even want to try and attempt to steal a bottle with a liquor bottle lock on it, particularly if that bottle lock is made by Alpha Security.

Not only do the bottle caps prevent anyone from consuming the alcohol inside the bottle, but they also work in conjunction with an EAS system to create an audible alarm if the bottle is stolen.

No bottle lock is easy to remove without the proper detachers. Even on the off chance that someone could successfully get a bottle of alcohol out the door, they still couldn’t do anything with it.

I read a Q&A one time about a customer got home and the store failed to remove the cap. There were several posts about what to do. They all added up to about the same thing. Either you break the bottle, or you take the bottle back to the store (with your receipt) to have the liquor bottle lock removed.

Protecting your Investments

From ancient Greek Mythology, to the lost gold of Spanish conquistadors, to children’s fairy tales, riches beyond our wildest dreams have captivated us.

Sadly, for as long as we have been amassing wealth, there have been those determined to steal that wealth. Some intentionally, others, like Jack and the Beanstalk, stumble upon those prized possessions.

I’ll bet that Giant never thought twice about setting up a security system for his Golden Goose. He was lucky that the goose was able to make a commotion when it was being stolen.

Protecting your hard earned investments should not be left up to chance. There will always be people out there trying to steal your wealth, in this case your store’s inventory.

Bottle security needs should be more effective than a goose squawking on its way out the door. Liquor bottle security should be a deterrent first and an alarm second.

Liquor bottle locks provide that type of duality in their liquor bottle security. Liquor bottle locks are a bottle cap that is fitted onto the mouth of a bottle, clearly stating their presence. If someone does make an attempt at stealing one, the EAS alarm will sound alerting you to what is going on. It is liquor bottle security at it’s finest.

The first steps to Bottle Security

I went into my local grocery store tonight and was strangely surprised. I had just been in there a few days ago, but it seems like in that short span of time, they had managed to revamp almost the entire store.

One of the first things I noticed was their new hard liquor corral. I can only imagine what their losses have been for them to redo the store with this new set up in mind. It seems like they are trying to take the first steps toward bottle security.

In the past, they had no liquor bottle security to speak of. Bottles were just left on the shelves without any additional care or liquor bottle security. They were ripe for the picking just the same as any other food product they were selling.

Now, it seems, liquor bottle security is moving closer to the forefront of their minds, and I do mean this literally. Now located at the very front of the store, you see a big walled in area filled with all of the hard liquor and spirits. There is also a sign stating no carts are allowed, and no one under the age of 21 can come in.

I still didn’t see any liquor bottle locks, but I guess it is a step for them in the right direction.

Bottle Security and safe keeping!

Think about the types of security measures you take in your own home. Do you lock your doors and windows? How about an alarm system for your house? Do you take the time to back up your files, make copies of important documents and throw them all into a waterproof, fireproof safe? I’ll bet if you stopped to think about how many security measures you take in your daily life, you would be surprised.

When you take a look at your liquor store or restaurant, you probably go through many of the same steps. Bottle security, or any liquor bottle security for that matter, should be second nature to you. You wouldn’t think twice about locking up your shop at the end of the night, so why not protect your inventory the same as you protect your home?

When it comes to bottle security, think of liquor bottle locks like little personal safes. Sure you can still move them around when you need to, but you are really trying to protect the interior contents from loss or damage.

Liquor bottle locks protect the bottles from being consumed inside the store, and create an alarm if they are being stolen. Liquor bottle security is really no different or more complicated than your own security at home. All you need are the right tools to help you keep your inventory safe.

Going Above and Beyond

Success is achieved not just by meeting the status quo; it is by going above and beyond those expectations. Anyone who has worked hard for success knows that there is always something a little bit more that can be given or done in any situation. It is really about giving it your all, and then some.

As a small business owner, you are probably no stranger to giving that “and then some” to ensure your business’s success. Long hours, detailed bookkeeping, scouring applications to find just the right employees are all just part of the daily grind.

What about your liquor bottle security? Have you found something that gives it it’s all to make your store more profitable? If you haven’t already, try out the Alpha Security liquor bottle locks.

A liquor bottle lock is a cap that goes over the bottle to eliminate access to its contents. These liquor bottle locks are also fitted with an EAS tag that will sound the alarm if a bottle goes out the door prior to the lock being removed.

They are also compact in design to allow for maximum inventory placement on the shelves. There is no need to sacrifice your visual displays for unsightly and cumbersome lock boxes. Your customers will still have their full range of access to your liquor bottles to peruse and purchase.

It sounds to me like liquor bottle security, and then some!

Liquor Privatization and the Use of Bottle Locks

Alpha Security has a product that should be used by every retailer that sells liquor.  Bottle Security is going to become a necessity in the state of Washington, as private retailers will now be able to sell hard liquor at their stores.  Like any product, liquor is a desirable theft item.  To prevent your profits from shrinking as well as your inventory, liquor bottle locks should be a must have item in your retail outlet.

The privatization of liquor will bring a whole new element to both the grocery and warehouse grocery industries.  In the state run liquor stores, liquor bottle locks have not been used on average price point merchandise.  This was partially due to the relatively small size of the state liquor stores and the penalty of stealing from a state owned store.  Liquor bottle lock technology will become a real solution for the private storeowner.  Liquor bottle security will be paramount to the financial health of these stores.  Without the deterring factor of the state store, small business owners will need to really think about Liquor bottle security, not only from a theft perspective, but also from financial impact due to liability issues.

Feeding the Strays…

Growing up, I used to see stray animals around the house fairly frequently. My older brother would always try to stop me, as I would run into the house to try to find some food to feed them. At the time I thought he was being mean, but I now understand why I shouldn’t feed the strays.

Shoplifters are like those stray animals. If they get what they are after the first time, they will come back over and over again until they are caught. Not only will they come back, but each time they will be bolder and hungrier for more.

I like to think of liquor bottle security like my older brother. It’s not there to make anyone feel bad, just there to offer a little extra protection. Liquor bottle security like liquor bottle locks make it easy to install and painless to use. No one has to go out of his or her way to kick a stray (or a shoplifter) to the curb. Liquor bottle locks are just a silent signal that they need to move on down the road, because no one is getting anything for free here.

I don’t try to feed stray animals anymore. Because of the billions of hours I have spent catching shoplifters, I can attest that it really is better to send them packing before they even try to steal. Liquor bottle security helps send them away.
