Jewelry stores have to balance the fine line of having enough inventory out for display and having the right amount of protection in place. Honest shoppers want to be able to browse around and find the right item, but criminals are also on the lookout for what they can grab. There has to be a good selection of diamond rings for the nervous groom to be, but if there are no retail anti theft devices in place, a smooth talking thief can be out the front door with a fistful before the staff ever misses a thing.
Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and more are very vulnerable, expensive, small pieces that can be slipped in a pocket or purse. In order to prevent shoplifting, there is a great tool called the Alpha Jewel Lok that can help you monitor your valuable inventory. A key selling point for this product is that it will protect the jewelry, not the packaging.
I live in a town where just last year a pair of men went into a very high end jewelry store and asked to look at the Rolex watches. They took turns trying on practically every single one they had. They went back and forth, looking at them all, talking with the clerks and shooting the breeze with them. Then one guy got a phone call, while the other kept checking out the watches. A little more time passed and both men left without making a purchase. Unfortunately when the clerk began to return all the watches to their boxes, there was one missing. Between the two of them, they walked out the door with a $35,000 time piece. It’s been just over a year, and neither of them have been caught. Last night there was a similar story on the nightly news. A man and woman this time, in the same town, but it was a different jewelry store. It was almost the same situation though. (Again, there were no retail anti theft devices on any of the pieces.) The two of them walked in and asked to look at the best watches the place had in stock. The store staff happily complied, ready for a big sales commission. After some time looking at them, the pair said they planned to look around at other competitors. Then when the manager started looking at the display case, he found one watch was gone. Sure, they got them on surveillance and the picture was clear, but the store is still missing a $12,000 watch. That’s a big hit for a one day loss.
Alpha Jewel Loks could have prevented both of these terribly brazen thefts. They are made to be attached directly to the jewelry item, not the box. Alpha Jewel Loks are a great theft deterrent because of this. If there is a theft attempt, the store staff will immediately be alerted, instead of finding out after the fact when it is too late. Jewel thieves are known to be slick fast talkers. They have made an art of getting away with valuable pieces to sell or add to their own collections. They tend to go from town to town and they are frequently successful using the same schemes. That’s why it is so imperative to prevent shoplifting in the jewelry store sector. In order to put a stop to this, we’ve got to get owners and managers of jewelry stores to look into investing in Alpha Jewel Loks.
