Alpha Technology For Shrink Reduction
When you begin to notice that you are losing merchandise to theft, you start figuring out your game plan on how to stop it. A knee jerk response is to gather up the items and place them behind the sales counter and require customers to ask for them at checkout. The problem with that approach is that it’s a proven sales killer. There are a million better ways to prevent shoplifting, but you can start by looking into what Alpha Security can do for you. They have several options for retail anti-theft devices, and it just takes a little research to determine which one is best for your needs.
Here are just a few examples of the tools I use:
1. Alpha Keepers: These are clear boxes that encase products in a locked box. The store can keep the product in its home location where the customer expects to find it, instead of behind the counter. Remember, if they do not find the item where they expect it to be, many customers will opt to walk out the door rather than ask if it is somewhere else. They can be placed on a flat shelf or they work with pusher racks for inventory control. They can also be used with pegs for hanging products like razors and razor refills.
2. Alpha Cable Locks: These are great for things that don’t fit in Alpha Keepers. We’ve used them for big bottles of laundry detergent. People would grab up several bottles, wait until the clerks were distracted, and run out the door undetected. Now, the honest cash-paying customer can still choose a bottle from the shelf, and the criminals are deterred. Many clothing retailers use these for handbags and large winter coats. The days of stringing chains through this type of merchandise is over with the introduction of Alpha Cable Locks.
3. Alpha Spider Wraps: Again, these are great for products that don’t really fit in Alpha Keepers and don’t have a handle to attach Alpha Cable Locks into. We have utilized these for large electronics packages like televisions and DVD players. We have also used them for other odd size boxes. Four super-strong cables wrap tightly around the item in question. I’ve had many people attempt to take them off, and each time they have failed. If someone does attempt to cut off a spider wrap, they can self-alarm to alert the staff. Most times the dumb crook just puts the item back on the shelf and walks away with sore fingers.
Alpha Security has these items and many more. These products aim to protect your inventory but also increase your sales by not limiting the availability for the customer. There is a secure display solution for whatever it is your store sells too. When you think about your shrink reduction strategy, remember your customers want freedom to move about your store and browse for what they want. If you start noticing that certain items are being targeted for theft, do some research and let Alpha Security help you figure out how to prevent shoplifting in your location. They are a leader in the retail anti-theft device business and they have a product that fits your needs that will give you the return on investment you are looking for.
