I have a problem with loosing things. I will be the first to admit that I should be better organized at home, especially since I spend the majority of my time at work doing things to prevent shoplifting and making sure my stores do not loose things- like their inventory.

I often consider buying those remote tags that you can put on your remote control or your car keys. All you have to do is push a button and you hear an audible alarm or see a flashing light and you are drawn to your missing item’s location. It would be extremely handy for when I misplace my cell phone- especially when I leave it on silent!

Well Alpha Security, with all of their ingenuity and innovation have taken this concept and applied it to their line of retail anti theft devices.

Inside each of these retail anti theft devices are alarms that are triggered when a product is being tampered with or is being stolen. Inside the store, an early warning alarm sounds when the devices are being tampered with. If a shoplifter leaves the store with a product, the alarm will sound allowing you to follow the noise and retrieve your lost/-stolen merchandise.

When you are trying to prevent shoplifting, it is rarely a case of less is more. You can never be too careful, or too cautious. When I consult for small businesses, they often ask which items should have retail anti theft devices.

I go through their high shrink and high dollar items first. Then I tell them that anything else is optional. If it isn’t an issue, then it may not be worth the added cost of unnecessary retail anti theft devices. But I tell them they need to do what will make them feel more secure with their inventory controls.

 I also suggest using a layered approach to their retail security. When they use the Alpha Security product lines they can find solutions that are specific to their differing product groups. There is no reason why a retail business needs to try and fit the same EAS tag to every piece of merchandise. It simply is ineffective.

 Because Alpha Security uses different designs and abilities for different kinds of products it is easy to layer on the merchandise security to prevent shoplifting.

Our latest shoplifter gave us, and our retail anti theft devices a run for our money.

This particular customer came into our store and used a wheelchair and our handheld shopping basket in his lap. He would go about his business and come to the register to pay for the items. No matter how diligent my cashiers were when they rang him up; the EAS alarm was set off when he left. We would recheck for retail anti theft devices, but could not find them. Not wanting to cause him any more inconvenience, we would let him go about his way. We knew the alarm was a way to prevent shoplifting, but we couldn’t see any indication of theft.

After about a month of this happening every time he came to shop, we started to get suspicious that something else was going on. We watched as he came in one day and realized that he had picked up two shopping baskets, not one.

At first we thought they had just stuck together, until we saw inside the baskets. As it turned out, he was hiding merchandise in one of the baskets, stacking the second one on top and adding more merchandise that he would pay for. When he left, he would leave with all of the extra merchandise sandwiched between our shopping baskets- unpaid for.

If it hadn’t been for the retail anti theft devices setting the alarms off, no telling how long it would have been before we caught on to his plan.

 A particular group of stores was using the Alpha Spider Wrap as the primary retail anti theft devices to secure several of their boxed products.

What they were asking me was to know was if they could use the same Alpha Security Alpha Spider Wrap for protection for their boxes of fragrances and colognes. Since the Alpha Spider Wraps are designed for a wide range of boxes, this business owner wanted to try and save some money by using their existing stock of retail anti theft devices.

Even though it sounded like a good idea in theory, I cautioned against it. These retail anti theft devices are much bigger than what will work effectively for the significantly smaller fragrance boxes.

I recommended using the Keeper Boxes, also designed by Alpha Security. There are several styles to choose from, and the Keeper Boxes are designed specifically for fragrances and cologne products.

By using a smaller box to prevent shoplifting, the retail anti theft devices are actually more effective. An ill-fitting protection device is easier to defeat, and nobody wants that. Even though the Keeper boxes will be an additional investment, the return on the investment will balance out.

Technology amazes me. Looking at the world and seeing the possibilities, information and access available literally, at our fingertips, is quite a phenomenon. But does basic human nature change at the same pace as technology? Maybe! I am afraid that the need to prevent shoplifting still remains. 

Yet there are still innovations that have nothing to do with a computer chip, “the cloud” or an app that can completely change your life. They are simple by design, and at the forefront of leading technology. Some of these innovations are changes to retail anti theft devices.

Alpha Security, who is a trusted industry name in retail anti theft devices, is at the forefront of innovation and change. This is because Alpha Security products are reliable, and also because they simply work. Take a look at the Alpha Jewel Lok. It is a simple lock designed to disallow product access. You cannot take a piece of jewelry off of a card with an Alpha Jewel Lok in place. This leaves a shoplifter or dishonest employee with only the option to steal the jewelry with the Alpha Jewel Lok still attached and set the alarm off.

The last thing a shoplifter wants is to be noticed, so setting off an alarm is usually not an option. They will end up leaving the jewelry behind.

  Known for their innovative product lines of retail anti theft devices, Alpha Security has a four-pronged approach to how they prevent shoplifting.

The first is to provide the utmost level of protection for all of your high shrink products. Let’s face it; if retail anti theft devices aren’t reliable, there is no point in having them.

 Secondly, they need to be easy and simple to use. Time and time again I see great plans to stop shrink that are so complicated to execute that the plan dies before it even has a chance to work. When a plan or product is simple to use and doesn’t disrupt the normal flow of business employees will execute more completely and customers won’t have a negative shopping impact.

 Along the same lines, if the retail anti theft devices are an eye sore, they are not conducive to maintain customer friendly displays and shopping aesthetics.

 Finally, these tools need to provide value. The cost should be offset by the decrease in inventory losses within the first few months. 

 Because Alpha Security focuses on these four points, you benefit immediately by their inclusion to your retail security.
