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.

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.

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.

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

Having any sort of bottle security will also reiterate that the items guarded are desirable and or valuable. Liquor 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 liquor bottle locks. By understanding the outlying principals, you can make scarcity work for you.

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. After all, when every inch of space counts, the last thing you want is to take what should be a profit enhancing initiative like bottle security and make it work against you.

When each and every shelf needs to be packed as tightly as it can, you need liquor 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 liquor 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 liquor 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 liquor bottle lock is also 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.

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 with a wide variety of merchandise. I am often asked how I can make the transitions so simply. 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, 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 retail anti-theft devices like Alpha Security’s EASy Bottle liquor Bottle Locks.

It is statistically proven that having an EAS system in place will reduce your risk of inventory losses. Shoplifters are aware of who has them and who doesn’t. It’s not complicated to guess which store they will target.

Shoplifters can add 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.

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

One such product is Alpha Security’s EASy Guarde liquor 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 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.

People do some crazy things when they are drunk, even I have some wild stories about a few college buddies. It seems like they always start with “ Yeah this one time we were out drinking…” While some of them are pretty down right funny, others can be a little scary.

Over the years I have apprehended my share of shoplifters who stole under the influence. Generally when we called the local police in, they would discover that the liquor had been stolen from another retailer as well.

While I typically try to focus my shrink reduction strategies around my own store, I do think about how another retailer’s losses are directly related to mine.

If the liquor store down the street was using some sort of bottle security like liquor bottle locks, would we be seeing the same amount of losses?

I know that Alpha Security makes a comprehensive line of liquor bottle locks and other forms of bottle security. Would it really be that hard to use them on your product? Sometimes I want to go over and volunteer my services. I want to tell them to do us all a favor and increase their liquor bottle security.

I am sure that if I am suffering losses, so is everyone else in the neighborhood. One small step for them could make a huge impact for the rest of us.

Aisle after aisle, the rows of shelves are filled to the brim with bottles. I feel sorry sometimes for the stockperson who has to fill and organize those shelves. Just looking through the wine selection at the local supermarket is enough to make your eyes blur. They have a larger wine and liquor department than produce section.

Even more tedious than trying to keep the bottles lined up neatly with the front of the shelves, is the amount of time they diligently put into bottle security. They start with impeccable customer service. A friendly employee is always on hand to greet you and offer suggestions or wine parings. Sometimes they even have local sales reps in  to talk about their products.

They take liquor bottle security just as seriously as wine bottle security. Neat and organized shelves are just the beginning. I am sure if anyone takes a bottle off the shelf, someone in the store knows about it. Liquor bottle security also comes in the form of bottle locks.

You can tell they painstakingly go through every single shipment of liquor and ensure that each bottle has a liquor bottle lock on it before it goes to the sales floor.

I marvel at their commitment to making their store ready for the customer on every level. They truly understand how to succeed with liquor bottle security.
