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 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 bottle locks.

A bottle lock is a cap that goes over the bottle to eliminate access to its contents. These 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 bottle security, and then some!

Bottle locks are nothing new in the loss prevention industry.  However they haven’t really been utilized until the last decade and since that time they have become more and more commonplace as the economy has become worse and worse.  While their primary use has been liquor stores and grocery outlets looking to stem theft there is another business type that should look into use of this bottle security method.

Bars and clubs are frequently the havens of people looking to escape the grind of everyday life.  With so many people crammed into a single building it is not hard to find incidents of theft occurring at the bar.  The most common method used by those looking to score a free bottle of liquor is having one or two people in the group distract the bartender while the rest of the group reaches over the bar and swipes one or two items within reach.

While most places serving alcohol do possess camera systems they are usually only employed after the fact and are rarely observed during a bar’s business hours.  To dissuade such behavior, having a full suite of bottle locks or even using EASy Bottle locks will make such groups think twice before pulling such shenanigans.  If they find they can’t remove the locks without special tools then they have no reason to steal them.  While most bars tend to stack their liquor against the far wall of the bar that shouldn’t lead them to believe they don’t need extra bottle security.  A few extra steps will rarely stop a determined thief.

Shoplifting and Internal theft can have significant impact on your business’s potential liability. Most people tend to think of shoplifting and internal theft as a product of the apparel environment. Like the apparel environment grocery, restaurants, and bars are victims of theft. Theft of liquor is a significant factor in the overall loss of these types of companies.

Like any business, the service and grocery industries are beginning to take notice of these losses and are actively pursuing methods to prevent this activating.  Once such method that is in common usage, is employing liquor bottle security.  In the grocery industry, retailers have begun using bottle locks as a deterrent to shoplifting and to improve bottle security.  By employing a bottle lock, the retailer is able to make the theft a much more laborious task.  This prevents the opportunist shoplifter from having the chance to steal liquor.  This not only increases profit, but also creates a better environment for the honest customer.

The restaurant and bar industries are also subject to the theft of alcohol and bottle security should be a concern.  Liquor bottle security is an important deterrent to internal or employee theft in these industries.  Bottle locks can reduce the accessibility to your product, which can prevent your liability if it is to fall into the hands of minors.  Like the grocery industry, bottle security, more specifically bottle locks reduce the potential for loss.  The use of the bottle lock also gives the owner an idea of when and how the liquor bottle security is failing.  This can be accomplished when an owner finds removed or tampered bottle locks.

Business liability is a subject that any business minded individual should think of.  While shoplifting and theft can reduce a companies’ profit, a lawsuit can bankrupt a company and the potential exposure value of bad press can change the public’s view forever.

There are many companies that provide this service.  One leader in this industry is Alpha Security.  Alpha Security provides the consumer with leading bottle locks.  Alpha Security’s premium product for bottle security is the EASy Bottle.  The EASy Bottle bottle lock allows the retailer to properly display their product and secure its contents from thieves.  The EASy Bottle provides the consumer with the peace of mind of security without interfering with product sales.

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. Liquor bottle security, or any 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 liquor bottle security, think of 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.

Bottle locks protect the bottles from being consumed inside the store, and create an alarm if they are being stolen. 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.

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, nut 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 also each time they will be bolder and hungrier for more.

I like to think of bottle security like my older brother. It’s not there to make anyone feel bad, just there to offer a little extra protection. Bottle security like 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. 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. Bottle security helps send them away.

Scarcity is created when demand for a product exceeds the natural ability to create that item.  When an item is scarce, it drives the price of that item up. It is the driving principal of supply and demand. In the case of wines and hard liquor, many of these items are scarce by definition as they may take several years, or decades, to create.

The more scarce or valuable these items are, the more desirable they become. Pure want is a harsh feeling to overcome. Often shoplifters or employees steal because of that pure want of something they deem valuable, or scarce.

Bottle security can play a dual role in this. Bottle locks, as a prominent form of liquor bottle security, show a would be thief that you are protecting your valuables from theft.

Having any sort of liquor bottle security will also reiterate that the items guarded are desirable and or valuable. Bottle security can create that intense want. What draws your eye in a store, some trinket thrown about on a display shelf, or the one that is closely guarded with obvious security measures surrounding it?

Of course you look at the items under lock and key. They now have a heightened perceived value compared to bottles that are not locked. You can reduce your shrink and drive your sales with bottle locks. By understanding the outlying principals, you can make scarcity work for you.

Shoplifters can incur shrink (or inventory losses) to your liquor and wine bottles in two general ways. The first way is to consume the alcohol right inside your store. The other is to physically remove the bottle from your establishment without paying –stealing it.

Liquor bottle security is more than just hiding your bottles away behind lock and key. Bottle security is about putting up your guard to theft in its various forms. Alpha Security makes a wide range of bottle lock solutions in their EASy Bottle line of products.

One such product is Alpha Security’s EASy Guarde Bottle Lock. This lock has the best of both worlds in it. As a cap placed over the mouth of the bottle, it provides security to the contents. No one can open the bottle to consume the alcohol in the store.

The EASy Guarde is embedded with an alarm if a shoplifter attempts to steal the bottle. This type of bottle security is a similar form of technology that most retailers use to protect their inventory from shoplifters.

The S3 Detacher is easy for any of your employees to use. It is also easy to maintain control of the keys if you want restricted access by members of your staff.

Put your bottles on guard with the EASy Guarde bottle locks. Your profits will thank you in the end.

Most liquor and wine retailers work in small box locations. Even if you are a big box selling alcohol, you are probably still limited on the amount of available retail selling space you have. When every inch of space counts, the last thing you want is to take what should be a profit enhancing initiative like liquor bottle security and make it work against you.

When each and every shelf needs to be packed as tight as what it can, you need bottle locks that are not bulky or oversized. You need a lock that will allow the maximum amount of product to be stacked front to back as well as maximum representation of your product facings.

I haven’t forgotten that shelf height comes into play also. Your bottle locks need to be compact so you don’t loose your vertical height. Alpha Security took these considerations into affect when they created the Alpha Crystal Guarde Bottle Lock.

These caps are slim line design at its finest. Adding only a minimal amount of space, they don’t create a negative impact on shelf space allocation. The bottle lock is clear so you can still see the merchandise cap.

When paired with all of the great security features of the rest of the EASy Bottle line of products, it’s a crystal clear decision on which lock to choose.

Liquor bottle security is no different than any other security measure most retailers have to put into place. Most retailers are now using some form of EAS system to protect their inventory from shrink losses. The statistical data to prove an EAS system’s effectiveness is staggering. Some retailers have seen up to a 75% decrease in shrink once a system has been put into place.

In my tenure in Loss Prevention I have worked a wide variety of merchandise. I am often asked how I can make the transition so simple. For me, it’s pretty easy. Most shrink occurs in the same forms regardless of being an expensive designer jacket, a power tool, or a bottle of wine.

Once you apply those same principals, liquor bottle security is pretty straightforward. First and foremost, you need a shrink reduction plan. Let the trials and errors of other retailers work for you. Invest in anti theft devices like Alpha Security’s EASy Bottle Bottle Locks.

It is statistically proven that having an EAS system in place reduces your risk of inventory losses. Shoplifters are aware of who has them and who doesn’t. It’s not complicated to guess at which store they will target. Don’t let your specialized inventory leave you wondering what to do. Follow the path of retail security and make their solutions work for you.

Alpha security has been a leader in product security devices for many years. Only recently, was I able to use these devices to help a retailer protect their profits.

A growing chain of supermarkets was experiencing a high volume of loss in their liquor department. They looked at shipments from vendors and the receiving process to help understand where these losses were happening and how. Knowing loss prevention and the trends showing customer theft activity pertaining to liquor, I recommended Alpha Security products. More specifically, I asked them give EASy bottle locks a try. A former partner of mine works for a larger chain of drug stores and had great success with EASy bottle locks, in fact he recommends any retailer, large or small, selling liquor to use these EASy bottle locks if product security is a must.

Taking my recommendations, this chain ordered enough bottle locks to cover the entire liquor department in 10 stores. Almost overnight, stores noticed a dramatic difference in the liquor departments. No more big holes on the display shelves, no more opened containers and no more wondering. Bottle locks were working, and this was only the beginning. My team and I continued to monitor the liquor bottle security program in each of the stores. The biggest challenge we faced in each store, was not whether or not bottle locks from Alpha security worked, it was ensuring the store had enough product to fill the shelves. Funny how selling works, you actually must have product in the stores to make sales. And boy were sales made. Adding this liquor bottle security program, the company saw a 30% increase in comparative liquor sales and look forward to their future growth and the use of bottle locks.
