One Size May Not Fit All, But Alpha Security Has The Right Anti-Theft Device For You!
     How many times do we hear the term “One Size Fits All”?  I don’t know about you but I am usually hesitant to purchase anything that is sold as “One Size Fits All” or “Universal” because it rarely seems to work out for me.  For example, I recently purchased a bathtub hardware kit for some plumbing work I had to do.  I dropped about $45 or so into a “Universal” kit.  Let me tell you this, I am not sure WHICH universe the kit was designed for but apparently it was not mine.  After several trips to the hardware store I was able to get all the parts together and fix my problem (thank you ‘You Tube’!)  I share this adventure because the same sort of issues can arise when looking for products that will help you prevent shoplifting.  There are a lot of retail anti-theft devices on the market, but knowing what will or won’t be the right solution for your store can be a tricky problem.  I am going to provide some information on Alpha Security products that will help you in your decision making process.
 
     Before I get into a discussion of specific products, it should be understood that in order to prevent shoplifting or even employee theft, one crucial component a store needs to have is an electronic article surveillance system (EAS).  This is the antenna system that detects retail anti-theft devices such as Alpha Security products and sounds an alarm as someone attempts to exit the store with an Alpha device on it.  Checkpoint Systems would be one such company that could provide you with more information on installing an EAS system.
     As for merchandise protection, Alpha Security has solutions to prevent shoplifting for everything from clothing to electronics.  One product is not going to work for all of the categories of product you may sell.  Alpha Spider Wrap, for example, is great for protecting boxed merchandise like computers and LCD televisions but it won’t do you any good for protecting suits or dresses.  Likewise, Alpha 3-Alarm clothing tags will not be any help to you in the video game section of your store.  Each retail anti-theft device has a type of merchandise or packaging design it is developed to protect.  Even in these categories there are variations.  For instance, Alpha Spider Wrap can be ordered in several sizes for protecting small boxes such as headphone sets to an extra- large wrap that will cover a television.  Try to place an extra-large wrap on a small box and the wrap slips off, not a great idea.
     If it is clothing you are trying to protect Alpha products provide a selection of devices to choose from, but you may have to consider what type of protection you need.  An Alpha 3-Alarm tag may be great for designer jeans but not so useful for a brassier.  The delicate fabrics and need for proper fitting may require an alternative anti-theft solution offered by Alpha Security.  Finding the right solution for your product lines will prevent theft and offer your customer a pleasant shopping experience.
     Alpha Security products offer the best line of defense against shoplifting because they are designed to fit specific needs.  While one size fits all may sound good, having a product that fits a specific requirement is often the best solution.  Whether it is an Alpha 3-Alarm tag for your soft line merchandise or Alpha Spider Wrap for electronics, Alpha’s retail anti-shoplifting product line can fit any need you may have.

As for merchandise protection, Alpha Security has solutions to prevent shoplifting for everything from clothing to electronics. One product is not going to work for all of the categories of product you may sell. Alpha Spider Wrap, for example, is great for protecting boxed merchandise like computers and LCD televisions but it won’t do you any good for protecting suits or dresses. Likewise, Alpha 3-Alarm clothing tags will not be any help to you in the video game section of your store. Each retail anti-theft device has a type of merchandise or packaging design it is developed to protect. Even in these categories there are variations. For instance, Alpha Spider Wrap can be ordered in several sizes for protecting small boxes such as headphone sets to an extra- large wrap that will cover a television.  Try to place an extra-large wrap on a small box and the wrap slips off, not a great idea.
