20 USES FOR ALPHA KEEPERS – PART 3
We’ve made it past the halfway point already! I’ve already covered 10 of the most effective ways at using Alpha Keepers and I’ve got 10 more on the way. You really won’t find another security product that is as versatile and effective as these little plastic cases. They truly are a perfect solution to some of today’s most commonly stolen merchandise. So, let’s continue on with my list of 20 uses, with numbers 11 through 15.
11. Printer Ink
I so despise replacing the ink on my printer at home. First comes the sticker shock when you realize just how expensive it can be. The next is waiting forever at the store, ever waiting for a sales clerk to come unlock the showcase glass. As if that weren’t enough, they have to then walk you up to the register. Look, I’m an LP manager. I understand you have to take product protection seriously, but there are far more effective ways to prevent shoplifting. Prominently promote printer ink inside of an Alpha Keeper!
12. Laundry Detergent
I never thought in my career, I’d see the day when we, as a retail industry, would have to secure laundry detergent just to stay profitable. With organized criminal groups targeting this product at ever increasing rate, retailers must take extreme measures to simply keep the product on the shelf. With the vast range of sizes, most detergent can be securely locked away using an Alpha Keeper, all while maintaining a strong store display.
13. Baby Formula
You’ve probably said this your entire retail career; if someone was stealing food for their children, I would have more sympathy. Well, if you hadn’t noticed, baby formula theft is off the charts. It’s not due to a rash of unemployed mothers; it’s fueled by organized retail crime groups. This product is specifically targeted due to the high cost and the ease of resale to corner stores, flea markets and through online channels. In order to prevent shoplifting, retailers are being forced to take on much harder anti-theft tactics. I know of a simple plastic case that can help cut down your store’s losses here.
14. Headphones
This is a niche that has blown up in the past 3 years. With Bluetooth technology climbing and the consumer demand for higher quality, some of these items can fetch nearly $500. A good retailer knows that in order to sell the product, it has to be available to the customer. Prominently displaying this type of merchandise in an Alpha Keeper can give you all the aesthetics of a traditional store display, all while giving you the peace of mind knowing the product is secured from potential shoplifters.
15. Wearable Fitness Technology
With the near year right on the horizon, this growing category will surely begin to post even higher numbers. With wearable trackers that can now calculate heart rate, steps taken, distance walked and hundreds of other measurements that beam right to your smartphone, we are seeing an increase in health conscience consumers shell out top dollar for the best device. These are also a prime target for shoplifters, thus you have to do all in your power to prevent them from walking out on their own. While you could very well keep them behind lock and key, displaying them in an Alpha Keeper will most likely result in higher sales, as the merchandise can be placed into the hands of the customer all while you prevent shoplifting. It’s a win for all!
