Discard the Merchandise – Alpha 3 Alarm

August 16, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When a shoplifter feels like they have been caught, they can do a number of things, from running away, fighting, or even discarding the merchandise. When we look for solutions to prevent shoplifting, we look for ways to let the shoplifter feel like they have been caught.
Ultimately, we are trying to get the shoplifter to discard our merchandise without further incident. Trying to make a detention can be problematic, and can end up costing more money and resources if the case is pushed through the court system for prosecution.
When we employ Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices as part of our strategy, we are creating a situation where the shoplifters benefit by discarding the product on their own. 
When the shoplifter leaves the store with an Alpha Security Alpha 3 Alarm protected product, the exit doors alarm, so do the actual retail anti theft devices attached to the merchandise. Even if the shoplifter continues to leave with the merchandise, there is an audible alarm on the product- making it impossible for the shoplifter not to be noticed.
They will discard the product, which allows the retailer to follow the sound until they find and retrieve the merchandise. All without further incident or risk of conflict.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store for Alpha 2Alarm, Alpha 3Alarm, Alpha Fashion2, Alpha Jewel Lok, Alpha Nano Gate,  Alpha Shark Tag, Alpha Spider Wrap and other retail anti-theft devices from Alpha Security to use in conjunction with your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can help you prevent shoplifting in your business.

Make Your Employee’s Lives Easier- Retail Anti Theft Devices

August 13, 2014 by Leave a Comment
As business owners and managers, we understand the correlation between an employee’s productivity and their overall work- life happiness. As an employer, we often find ourselves going out of our way to make their lives easier to make them happier- hopefully making them more engaged and loyal employees. It doesn’t cross our minds that an employee’s happiness can also prevent shoplifting.
Even one of the world’s premier developers of retail anti theft devices, Alpha Security, will readily admit that their products are only as good as the employees who use them. 
If you are going to use retail anti theft devices as a shoplifting deterrent, they will only be effective if the devices actually make it onto the merchandise. They will do no good left in a box in the stockroom. It takes employees to attach the devices onto the merchandise.
When an employee is happy and engaged in their job, they are more likely to commit their time to seemingly mundane tasks like EAS tagging and compliance. A happy employee will go above and beyond to ensure the tagging is done correctly, and to the completion level you are looking for.

More Than One- Alpha Spider Wrap

August 10, 2014 by Leave a Comment
The Alpha Security Alpha Spider Wrap has a close cousin- the Alpha Spider Web. These retail anti theft devices are designed for products in blister packs and clamshells.
The Spider Web’s unique multi-strand steel cable mesh bag presents an excellent visual deterrent that allows open merchandising without the risk. The open mesh allows customers to read the product’s packaging to make purchasing decisions. It also provides breakthrough anti shoplifting security for even the most irregular-shaped packages with multi-strand steel cable for tough protection. 
The key features of the Alpha Spider Web are its thin, sleek design. It is easy to apply and remove while still being tough, secure and reusable. It protects hard-to-secure clamshell merchandise because the two mesh bag sizes expand easily to accommodate different package sizes in both AM and RF models. 
Spider Web 15” – AM 15.00”H x 7.00”W x 3.00”D 10 
Spider Web 15” – RF (38.10 cmH x 17.78 cmW x 7.62 cmD) 
Spider Web 17” – AM 17.00”H x 7.00”W x 3.00”D 10 
Spider Web 17” – RF (43.18 cmH x 17.78 cmW x 7.62 cmD)
The 15” Spider Web fits packages with girth up to 21.25”and the 17” Spider Web fits packages with girth up to 23.25”.

Enhance Your Products- Alpha Nano Gate

August 7, 2014 by Leave a Comment
The Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate extends the value you get when using the Alpha 3 Alarm products. Instead of spending exorbitant amounts of money for a large, unattractive, and bulky tower system to prevent shoplifting, you can invest a comparatively minimal amount for a sleek, attractive system.
The key features you get with the Alpha Nano Gate are as follows:
It is easy to install. All of the directions and equipment needed arrive in one package to simplify the process. You don’t need to have an expensive technician complete the installation process, if you would rather do it yourself.
It mounts directly to doorframes and walls. That makes it extremely versatile for a variety of in store applications including restrooms, fitting rooms, exit and emergency doors, stock rooms or break rooms, elevators, and store within a store spaces.
 
Aesthetic design complements every store environment. This makes it great for independent boutiques, liquor stores, or any other small business application that uses the Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices.
Plug-n-Play makes it easy for everyone to use: Plugs into electrical outlet. An audible alarm sounds for 2 minutes if main power is interrupted from either intentional tampering or other power outages.

An Easy Way To Wardrobe- Alpha Shark Tag

August 4, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Alpha Security is very acutely aware of the problems that customers who are into wardrobing can cause. Wardrobing is when a customer buys merchandise –primarily clothing- and returns it after being worn. To prevent the majority of wardrobing, Alpha Security designed the Alpha Shark Tag.
The Alpha Shark Tag is a small red plastic tag that is attached to the front of a garment in a very conspicuous place. It is to be removed by the customer after they purchase the item. Once the tag is removed, the retailer will decline the refund of that item.
This work wonderfully with clothing, as it is intended to. Shoes, on the other hand are different. The tags are not designed to fit onto shoes. This means that in order for your employees to discern a legitimate return versus a return involving wardrobing, you have to look for other clues.
The two primary places to look are at the foot bed and the sole. If you look inside the shoe, a worn shoe will start to show imprints of toes. Because this is not always reliable, look also to the sole for evidence of wear. When a shoe is worn outside of a house, you can see scuffs on the soles. You will also see tiny bits of dirt and gravel imbedded in it.

No Need To Be Overly Complicated- Alpha Spider Wrap

August 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
It is amazing how many different retail anti theft devices are out in the market right now. It is a blessing for retailers to be able to finally have not only EAS tag options, but also to have product specific solutions to prevent shoplifting.
That being said, just because you can get extremely high tech or extravagant with features and functions does not mean you actually need to. There is no need to be overly complicated with your retail anti theft devices if you don’t actually need to.
Alpha Security Alpha Spider Wrap has three different levels of security needs. There is the basic line, which has a typical one-alarm functionality. The Alpha Spider Wrap is also available with the Alpha 2 Alarm and the Alpha 3 Alarm.
Depending upon your store’s specific needs, you might not need to have the Alpha 2 Alarm or the Alpha 3 Alarm. If you have a small square footage store, or the product is up at a POS where there is an employee nearby, having the early alarm system built in might be overkill.

What Is That? – Alpha Security

August 1, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I am frequently asked to clarify the Alpha Security Alpha 2 Alarm and the Alpha 3 Alarm. More importantly, my clients are trying to figure out how to use these retail anti theft devices to stop shoplifting.
The Alpha 2 Alarm and the Alpha 3 Alarm are just identifiers to the technology that is found within the Alpha Security lines of retail anti theft devices. Take the CableLok for example.
A CableLok is a portable and reusable locking system to prevent shoplifting. The cable lanyard comes in three sizes: 6”, 48” and 72”.
The alarm options are as follows:
The CableLoks with the Alpha 2 Alarm provide standard EAS protection if a breech occurs. It also provides an early warning alarm if the lock is tampered with inside of the store.
The Alpha 3 Alarm CableLoks incorporate the same functionality that the Alpha 2 Alarm models do. Additionally, the third alarm is the 95 dBA self alarm if the lock and merchandise is removed from the store.
The long lasting lithium battery, flashing light and visible speaker are standard on both the Alpha 2 Alarm and Alpha 3 Alarm models.

One Key To Rule Them All- Alpha Security

July 28, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Shoplifters are starting to steal Alpha Security detacher keys and use them for their own theft purposes. We are also seeing situations where employees accidentally lose their key creating opportunities for potential shoppers to find them and use them. 
Needless to say, it would be unbearably expensive for a small business to have to reinvest in an entirely new security system just because of one lost or stolen detacher key. Realizing that this was starting to arise as a major issue, Alpha Security immediately began to develop a new key: The S3verify Key and devices. 
Now, these keys have a store specific code embedded into them. Similar to a chip encoded car key, without the proper key, the locks will not open. A stolen key will erase itself, preventing a shoplifter to use it.
Retail anti theft devices were designed to have a certain amount of universality to them. One key to detach all of these devices was necessary to avoid confusion at the check out. As more retailers switched to using Alpha Security systems to prevent shoplifting, some shoplifters realized that a stolen detacher key could unlock be used to unlock many different retailer’s retail anti theft devices.
The new S3verify Key eliminates this potential loophole.

It’s In The Bag- Retail Anti Theft Devices

July 22, 2014 by Leave a Comment
While highly complex thefts are out there, most common shoplifters use relatively low- tech and simple forms of shoplifting. One of the most frequent shoplifting methods is to conceal merchandise in a bag. That includes handbags, totes, sports duffels and backpacks. 
A shoplifter thinks they can stuff product in their bag and walk out the door without being noticed.
The best way to deter and combat this kind of theft is to use security tags, commonly called EAS tags. The tag is a visual warning that the merchandise is being protected. Even if the shoplifter tries to steal the product by concealing it in a bag, the EAS alarms will still register.
Beyond the use of EAS tags, you can also use your employees to deter these concealed thefts. You can ask that all large bags are kept at the register to prevent that kind of access to a shoplifting tool. It’s not the most customer friendly method, but some retailers are still doing it.
You can also train employees to keep an eye out for bags that look flat or empty for their size. The shoplifter might intentionally keep the bag empty so they have plenty of room to stuff merchandise into it.

Repeat Customer – Prevent Shoplifting

July 18, 2014 by Leave a Comment
A woman had taken several pairs of earrings off the cards, and everything was in a jumble on the counter. One of our employees was watching this customer and went over to offer her assistance. The woman quickly said she didn’t need anything, turned around and left. My employee started to clean up the mess this customer left behind. 
As my employee sorted through everything, she noticed that there were two pairs of earrings missing, and the customer looked like she was wearing one of them.
It was a difficult position for my employee to be in. She was probably right in her suspicions that the customer had walked off with at least one if not two pairs of our earrings.
Because we didn’t actually see what happened from the beginning it was too hard to actually tell if this was just a repeat customer who had purchased the earrings previously, or if she did steal them.
I know that there are EAS devices designed to keep jewelry on the cards and prevent this kind of situation from happening. It would have been easier on my employee who didn’t know if she should have done something differently to prevent a possible theft.
We are also now suspicious of a potentially honest customer. We don’t know if she stole, or why she left so fast. It could just as easily been an honest situation, and someone else made the mess and stole (or lost) the earrings.
