No matter what type of merchandise you sell, there is always a shoplifter willing to steal it.  You, as a business owner, do not have to sit back and watch your merchandise (along with your sales and profits) walk out of door.  This is even true if you sell liquor and wine.

Liquor bottle security is not just a dream; it can be a reality with products like the EASy Bottle device from Alpha Security.  You can place a bottle lock on your high theft merchandise, which protects it while it is displayed on your shelf but is easily removed when the bottle is purchased.  Bottle locks only cover the top of the bottle, so they do not deter from the look of the merchandise.  Who would have thought that bottle security could be so simple?

Whether your business has been the victim of “grab and go” thefts, shoplifters who conceal bottles, or even those who hide in the corner of your business to get a quick drink of your liquor or wine, bottle locks can be a great benefit.  Shoplifters do not want to have to try and figure out how to remove a bottle lock before they can take that drink.  It is simply not worth their time.  They will move on to the next business that sells liquor and wine without bottle security.

You do not want to be that “next business” that the shoplifter decides to frequent.  Proudly display your liquors and wines for your honest customers, while deterring the dishonest thieves.  There is less worry for you and more profits for your business when you invest in bottle security.

EASy bottle locks offer retailers great security. Liquor sales in most areas of the country can be very profitable. It’s imperative to have some form of bottle security, and EASy bottle locks provide the solution for that need.

Bottle security in one form or another has always been a concern for the business owner and manager. However, many are simply uninformed as to the bottle security products available on the market today. Most look back to the old methods of restricting stock, or merchandising bottles behind a manned counter or checkstand. Really, what type customer service is that, let alone bottle security.

Retailers need to be creative and up to date when looking to protect their merchandise and assets. A simple bottle lock placed on the top of most any liquor bottle will prevent the “everyday” thief from simply concealing the bottle or walking off with it.  EASy bottle are the most productive and beneficial form of bottle lock I have seen and used. Deploy this bottle lock program will not only save your business money in the long run; you protect your assets as well.

Over the years, conducting investigations at retail locations that have issues with liquor theft has always given the same result. The thefts happened because of a lack of bottle security. A simple bottle lock attached to the tops of the exposed liquor would have saved many stores literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions in lost merchandise as sales.

Do you and your business a favor, if you are in need of a bottle lock and haven’t really been paying attention to the changes in security products in the retail industry, look into EASy bottle locks. A small idea that will slow down any liquor theft you are having.

Bottle security in the retail world can seem a daunting task. Some may even say downright difficult. It doesn’t have to be. I still walk into liquor stores, convenience stores, and others and see the lack of security and the frustrations on the faces of the managers and owners. Yet, relatively cheaply, the proper protection can be afforded.

Once, while working the salesfloor of a grocery store, I observed a customer enter the liquor department. This guy was on the hunt for “free” liquor or liquor without any sort of bottle security. He walked up and down the aisle, observing closely, the brands of his choice. He made a couple of looks up towards the ceiling, then back and forth down the aisle. Section after section, he found no bottle lock. He chose his brand, stuffed two bottles in his waistband and was off. Obviously at this store, bottle security was the last issue management wanted to deal with.

This particular store had suffered a whopping 30% loss in liquor sales directly related to “missing product”. Absolutely no form of bottle security was present in this enormous store. I spoke with the manager and asked him if he knew of the issues his store was having with missing items, he said yeah and assumed it was a receiving issue or that the vendor was not supplying him with the product ordered. We went back and reviewed that, yet the shipments were correct. After a more analysis, we could be certain the loss was directly related to theft. No where it was customer or employee, we weren’t sure.  We discussed his opportunities in the liquor aisle and I explained to him the benefits of bottle security and how a simple program like EASy bottle locks would greatly impact his losses.

After we go the go ahead, EASy bottle locks were installed on various price points throughout the department. Over a period of 6 months, the store noticed a considerable reduction in loss directly related to EASy bottle locks and security program.

Bottle security was on the mind of “Mike”, the loss prevention agent working this large store. Mike had just started his shift was he was confronted by the store manager. The manager told Mike that he felt bottle security in the store was lacking and he didn’t have enough payroll to execute the bottle security program as the company expected.

Mike is a well versed loss prevention agent. He enjoys his work and put all efforts into providing solid support for the store he works. Mike knew the store manager had a tight payroll budget but also knew the store manager was a little inexperienced in managing programs and staff. Bottle security was in the forefront of this manager mind, he was more concerned about the District Manager coming in and screaming about sales and his performance.

Liquor sales were suffering in this store. After looking at the recent performance and sales report, it was clear to Mike that the liquor dept suffered from poor sales.  Walking the liquor aisle, he immediately realized not one high theft liquor item had a bottle lock attached. A simple bottle lock would keep the item on the shelf longer than no bottle lock. Mike went in the back and grabbed a box of EASy bottle locks. EASy bottle locks and caps were designed specifically to help prevent and reduce theft and loss. Here, the manager was lacking in clearly explaining the need to his staff. Mike grabbed a store associate from the back and explained to him how to apply the EASy bottle locks and caps. The associate quickly understood the need and was able to cleanly install the appropriate EASy bottle locks onto the liquor bottles.

Mike brought the manager over to the liquor aisle and explained to him the program and showed him what his associate was able to do with EASy bottle locks, and what the store could expect from this form of bottle security.

EASy bottle locks are a great deterrence for the amateur shoplifter.
Recently, a loss prevention agent working at one of my stores shared with me a story of how EASy bottle locks help prevent and deter a couple of different shoplifters.

Working in high customer traffic store located opposite corner of a local High School, this loss prevention agent knew the peak hours of theft and also knew the hardest hit areas. Observing the liquor aisle, the loss prevention agent had found several missing bottles of liquor from the shelf. The store manager told the agent that he had just put 10 bottles out 2 days ago and did not put on any EASy bottle caps. The agent knew theft was the reason these bottle were missing. In his investigation, he discovered the manager had placed the bottles on the shelf at about noon on a Monday. Later that day, the manager noticed a couple of bottles missing but thought nothing of it. The next day, the manager again saw more bottles gone and assumed the items were sold. The loss prevention agent knew better and checked the sales on the items. Only one bottle of this liquor had been sold. The rest… just a guess, were stolen.

The loss prevention agent helped the manager cap a new supply of these liquor bottles with EASy bottle locks and merchandised them on the shelf. Over the next few shifts, the manager and loss prevention agent cycle counted and observed the items. At about 3pm on a Tuesday, the loss prevention agent witnessed a high school aged male enter the liquor dept with a backpack. The subject removed his backpack, looked around in all direction. He grabbed 2 bottles of liquor. He noticed something different. EASy bottle locks, he had not had to deal with before were now making his efforts difficult.

Remember, when you use a bottle lock in your bottle security program you will always frustrate the shoplifter. And your bottle lock is reusable over and over again. This keeps your costs down. A well established bottle security program will send the shoplifter packing…to your competitor.
