I bet the answer is “No”, but hopefully you will reconsider.  Keeper cases are one of many great retail anti theft devices produced by Alpha Security in an effort to help you prevent shoplifting.  I had never heard of Keeper cases until about a year ago when I changed jobs.  The new company I went to work for started using them after we saw them at a conference.  I have been more than impressed with line of retail anti theft devices that we use from Alpha Security.

 The Keeper case is great for small items.  There are many different sizes and shapes that can be used to fit specific commodities and then there are other boxes that can be used as a “catch all” for whatever you need protecting.  Some of the specific commodities that are offered are cases for: video games / DVD’s, Razors, Family Planning items, Blank DVD spindles, Infant Formula, etc.  Again, there are generic Keeper cases as well that you can use for other boxed merchandise.  I have a variety of other items that I use them for (i.e. cosmetics, over the counter medicines, small electronics, etc.). 

 The Keeper case is a clear hard plastic box that locks the merchandise inside.  It has a built in non-deactivatible tag in the top that will work with your existing EAS system so no other hardware is required.  You can simply get the cases you need and start to prevent shoplifting immediately.  Another great feature is that you can get clips to hang the Keeper cases on pegs or you can stock directly on the shelf.  This sometimes helps in merchandising odd shaped packages as the case has a flat bottom and stacks nicely without falling over.  Finally, you get the security of locked products without the negative impact of customers having to wait for someone to get the product for them.  They can self-serve and bring to the register.

     One of the strongest tools that all retailers have to Prevent shoplifting is common sense. There are so many signs that can help retailers prevent theft from their business. There are many Retail anti theft devices to help combat shoplifting both externally and internally. But without common sense these tools are useless.  One of the first things retailers can do is to properly train their staff on how to help Prevent shoplifting by providing something as simple as customer service. One of the things I would tell staff members is to greet all customers and continue to offer assistance. A shoplifter is looking for any area that is empty, so the last thing they want to see is a staff member continuously asking them if they need assistance.

      One of the other functions that I conducted was to make sure that all staff members were trained properly on the use of the Retail anti theft devices that they are going to be using daily. Since your staff is another layer of protection to Prevent shoplifting the more training you give them the more protection you have within your business. The most important thing to understand about how to Prevent shoplifting is that there are many types of Retail anti theft devices at your disposal so make sure that you use them all starting to the one we all have common sense.

As we are gearing up for fall and the holiday season I remember being struck by surprise last year at the items being sold by retailers as a whole.  I found many retailers carrying products that they normally don’t carry in hopes of picking up some extra sales.  In particular I was surprised by how many stores had GPS units.  I would expect this from an electronics store, but not from grocery stores and home décor stores.  What was particular alarming was that these stores did not know how to protect this product since it was not part of their particular line.

 I want to challenge everyone to start looking at the holiday items that are being planned and prepare a strategy to protect these items.  They are obviously items in high demand or they would not be used to draw business.  With that being said, they will also draw theft.  The only way to prevent shoplifting of high target items like this is to utilize retail anti theft devices.  Now you can certainly use traditional EAS tags, but good thieves know how to bypass this system.  A more impactful solution is Spider Wraps by Alpha Security.  These wraps have a cable that attaches a sounder to the merchandise.  If it is tampered with then it sets off an alarm and draws attention to the thief.  It also will keep the package from being opened so a shoplifter cannot simply remove the product from the box and conceal in a bag or pocket. The Spider Wrap also works with your existing EAS system so it will set off the EAS alarm if removed from the store. 

 We will all be receiving product that we may not normally carry.  The only way to prevent shoplifting of this merchandise is to plan ahead.

While there is a multitude of ways to steal, one method is gaining an increase in popularity. Box stuffing is just like it sounds. Shoplifters take a large box, generally from a fairly low dollar item, and stuff it full of high dollar items. Because the box is rang trough the POS, it often does not call attention to the theft.

 The use of retail anti theft devices like hard and soft tags can be an effective tool to prevent shoplifting incidents, like box stuffing. By not only having RF tags on the high dollar products like electronics or jewelry, using a soft tag on the inside of large boxes assists in the detection of box stuffers. The additional retail anti theft devices provide a two fold attack to prevent shoplifting.

 The first, is that the more tags there are to deactivate, the harder it is for the shoplifter to attempt to remove. They are counting on being able to quickly stuff the box and go. Too many tags, make for too many obstacles, thus slowing them down.

 The second part is at the POS. With more tags on your product, there is more opportunity for one to set off an alarm going out the door.

 The associates will have the extra advantage to prevent shoplifting because of the obstacle RF tags place. Box stuffers beware, retail anti shoplifting devices will    make stealing not worth your time. Move on!

Retailers have to not only manage their inventory, but they also have to prevent inventory shortages.  Unfortunately this process is not as easy as it sounds because of that well known criminal element called, the shoplifter.  Retailers diligently try to prevent shoplifting in their stores.

            One way retailers are trying to prevent shoplifting is by using retail anti theft devices in their stores.  Retail anti theft devices like clothing security tags and clothing alarms are very easy and simple to use and apply to merchandise.  In an effort to track and better manage inventory, some retailers have begun using RF security tags and labels. 

The RF security tags operate using an RF frequency and interacting with a frequency detection device.  The RF devices have become the standard theft deterrent devices being used in stores.  The ability of the device to help manage inventory and prevent shoplifting has really appealed to the retail industry.

The need to be successful at eliminating inventory losses due to shoplifting is essential to the long term viability of any business.  When retail anti theft devices first became popular, retailers only used them on the high dollar merchandise.  What they found out was that they were keeping the high dollar merchandise, but losing the lower priced high profit margin products.  This made a lot of retailers began to use more retail anti theft devices in their stores.  This increase in merchandise protection, lead to a decrease in the number of shoplifting incidents being reported by the stores.

In business it is important to keep waste and inefficiency to a minimum.  This is why effective inventory management and control is so important.  Every retailer must put a program in place to address the potential inventory losses due to shoplifting.
