My husband and I had the chance to walk through a new market store in our area over the weekend. We are trying to eat a bit healthier, so we jump at the chance to look at new grocery stores.

This one in particular does a lot with the local farmers for their produce and has locally made breads. They are a smaller venue than the traditional big box. I would think they are a step above a permanent farmers market.

One thing that did surprise me, as we walked around, was that they did sell bottles of wine. Now I know that they probably aren’t a big shrink store for alcohol, but there was not any type of bottle security to be seen.

I guess you really do have to know your market to determine whether or not you need any bottle security like bottle locks. I would be more concerned as time goes by, that you might need them down the road. More than likely, they will wait until after they have a theft problem before they feel the need to address it.

If an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, the same holds true for bottle security. A small initial investment is potentially worth more than that same investment compounded by the incurred shrink losses.

I have long said that security, whether it is retail security, liquor bottle security, or any bottle security for that matter, is there to protect and prevent against a one in a million chance of something happening. It is not there for the common, everyday occurrences. For example:

I have emergency preparedness manuals placed around one of my store in case a hurricane hits. Not very likely when the store is smack dab in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, but on a one in a million chance… You get the point.

Or, I have my stores take plants inside at night so no one comes by to steal them. I don’t get the feeling that too many people will gout of their way to steal a houseplant under cover of darkness, but we do it anyway.

Alpha Security understands this concept and they make bottle locks to protect you from those off chances of something happening, like shoplifting. They make Liquor bottle security simple to use and simple to navigate.

When bottle security is in place, it turns your risk of being targeted by a shoplifter into one of those one in a million chances that something will happen. Not using bottle security like bottle locks almost guarantees you will increase the odds and likelihood of being a target for theft.

I went into my local drug store today to get a few quick things, and it turned out to be a not very quick trip after all. Because I rarely go into the store, I was unfamiliar with the layout. I spent way to long walking up and down the aisles looking for what I needed.

Eventually, I did find the right aisle, and made it on my merry way. While I was lost, I did stumble across a very small section of liquor. It was located at the far end of the store, and was barely a four-foot bay’s worth of product. I had to wonder if it was really even worth it to be there.

I did notice, however, that they did not use any liquor bottle security. Ugh. I had to shake my head as I walked past. I couldn’t help thinking about what a recipe for disaster this store had conjured up.

Back corner of the store, no visible employees, no liquor bottle security, hmm, it wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what would happen next.

It really was quite a shame to see. There was plenty of space on the shelf for the bottles to have a bottle lock. Because there were so few bottles, they would really only need a few bottle locks to guard the entire section of inventory.

I’ll bet they would spend less to have the bottle lock than what they will lose on one stolen bottle. Talk about a return on investment.

All to often we ask the question after an incident has occurred, that should have been asked well in advance. It wouldn’t be the first time in my career that some incident happened, and the proper preventative measures were not in place.

We race around like crazy people trying to figure out what happened, and where the breakdown occurred. Along the way, people inevitably start to point fingers about whose responsibility it is, and who should have done what.

It can easily get very ugly, very fast.

My best advice is to be proactive in your approach, in particular with bottle security. The more prepared you are in advance, the better equipped to handle a situation you will be later on.

Alpha Security’s Easy Bottle Bottle Locks are the most reliable liquor bottle security you can find. They are simple to use. They are simple to install and simple to remove.

When you start to ask where is your bottle security when you need it? You should be able to answer Alpha Security is always right where I need it- on the bottle. That is one of the best parts about bottle locks. Without the proper keys to detach them, the bottle locks will stay securely on the bottles.

Well another three day holiday weekend is almost here. I am already getting the 4th of July weekend ads littering up my mailbox, both snail mail, and e-mail, by the way.

My friends and neighbors are starting to plan their backyard BBQs and outings in the park and at the water. They are also making lists of all the things they will need to go out an buy before the big weekend gets here.

After working in retail for many years, I know that all of my plans and shopping need to be done by that Wed. at the latest. You couldn’t pay me enough to have to run to a grocery or liquor store during the actual weekend. If we run out, sorry guys, we are out.

Now, I know that puts me in a minority because so many people do run out for those last minute oversights, or a beer run. That’s where it can get tricky for liquor bottle security to be effective if it isn’t planned out in advance.

With so many people in a rush to get out and back, liquor bottle security needs to be right going into the weekend, and going out. I have seen impatient people who no longer want to stand in line simply walk out the door with product. Having bottle locks like EASy bottle will likely deter them. You may loose a sale as they leave, but at least you won’t lose your liquor in the process.

While previously working as an agent, my location was seeing increased shrinkage from theft in our liquor department and needed to tackle the issue of liquor bottle security. The store I was working in was one of many locations for a national corporation and based on shortage and locality we had been classified as a “low-exposure” store. Consequently, merchandise protection strategies such as the EASy Bottle bottle locks were not available to our location, which were reserved for “high-exposure” stores.

Due to the absence of a bottle lock, bottle security incidents were occurring daily. One subject regularly came into the store on her lunch break to drink a couple of bottles of high-priced wine before returning to work. A group began targeting Hennessy liquor, which disappeared off the shelves and into their pant legs and jackets. My team dedicated our efforts to reducing this loss even if the company wasn’t providing us with solutions from Alpha security. We performed perpetual inventory of “hot” liquor items twice a day and spent the majority of our shifts monitoring the aisle via CCTV.

Our efforts resulted in the reduction of theft in the liquor department, but other departments were now seeing an increase. There just weren’t enough agents to dedicate their shifts to sitting in front of monitors and staring at the cameras of high theft areas. I believe our bottle security dilemma could have been avoided had the company been willing to provide all of its stores with EASy Bottle bottle locks from Alpha Security. Whether a store is able to have a security team on its payroll or not, a bottle lock prevents the item from being opened before they are removed at the point of sale. With this peace of mind, store personnel can keep their merchandise on an open display without worrying about liquor bottle security.

In my experience, it’s no secret that thieves will go for the most expensive item on the shelf. This is even truer if your business sells alcohol. The more expensive an item is, the more the thief can resell it for and profit (at a hefty loss to you). Unfortunately for shoplifters, installing bottle locks on wine and spirits can stop a thief with ease. The last thing any shoplifter wants is to draw attention to themselves. Utilizing good bottle security throughout your store can make a thief think twice. Once they try to take the product out the doors, the bottle lock alarms with your Checkpoint System which will grab people’s attention. That is bad news for any thief and something they might think twice about before picking up anything with bottle security on it.

Not only does Alpha Security have you covered from theft, EASy Bottle can also prevent potential thieves from sampling your product while in the store. The amount of loss you can incur from damaged bottles can add up quickly. No customer will want to buy any wine or spirit that has been opened or damaged. With the EASy bottle from Alpha Security, customers can have a piece of mind knowing that when they take their beverage to the register nobody has tampered with it.

Alpha Security also has a line of liquor bottle security that fits the needs of a wide range of spirits. Both the Crystal Guard and EASy Guarde allows for maximum effectiveness with less disturbance to the aesthetics of the product. With the variety of liquor bottle security available by Alpha Security, it has never been easier to protect your business.
