Use an Alpha Cable Lock to Protect Your High-Line Items Without Damaging The Product
I am the type of person that doesn’t require a great deal of possessions, although I might be the minority. In my experience women tend to shop for certain items, such as purses, shoes, scarves, watches, jewelry and other items. Some may have only a few of these items and others may have a large quantity of one or all of these items. I find that women tend to gravitate towards a particular item of preference. One friend of mine was really into expensive tennis shoes. Not really because she wanted them to work out or run in, but just to wear. She probably had 30 pairs in all different colors and styles, some of them ranging up to $300.00. I have another friend who is really into purses and has probably two-dozen or more. She has all shapes, sizes, colors and brands. I am sure she has enough to accessorize any outfit. Me on the other hand, I am very simple. I have several pairs of shoes, but nothing expensive, and most of them I rarely wear at all. I would say I have about 5 go-to pairs of shoes/boots that I wear year round. As for purses I only use one and tend to keep it around for a decade or more. I typically find a neutral color that I can use for any situation, which tends to accumulate a variety of unnecessary items, or at least my husband thinks so. I do, in this instance, prefer a high end brand of purse. Not only do I like a specific brand, which typically retails at $300 and up, I also feel that you need a durable product when you plan to use it as long as I do. The last purse I purchased was in 2005, and I just recently had to finally say goodbye to it, as it was beginning to show its wear. So after 12 years I was on the hunt for a new purse. I realized very quickly how much can change in a decade! The brand I like has increased in price quite a bit since 2005, but I also noticed a much larger variety to choose from. This made things very difficult, but fun. With the increase in price came an increase in security, which I wasn’t surprised about because it’s important to protect high-line items, and prevent shoplifting. The display purses I was perusing were secured with an Alpha cable lock, which I have seen before on other display items like shoes, bags, wallets and other hard to secure items.
I like the Alpha cable lock because they are small and provide an unobtrusive shopping experience. They are really convenient because they are easy to apply and remove in the store. This store was using the Mini Cableloks, which provide an even smaller security presence. They easily fit inside the zipper so there was no risk in damaging the product. This is a very important feature to both the retailer and the customer. I know I wouldn’t be very happy to spend that kind of money on a purse, if it had a hole in it, from a hard tag or other security device. The Alpha cable lock is equipped with Alpha 2 & 3 Alarm technology to prevent shoplifting. This EAS system sounds an audible alarm in the event of a breach or theft. These locks can be re-used multiple times, which saves money and increases profit margins. These locks are very durable and made of high quality material to prevent their removal. They are also very versatile making them a reasonable security solution for many items, especially items on display.
I like the Alpha Cable Lock because, although I noticed the added security, it did not hinder my ability to handle or manipulate the product in anyway. I was able to open the purse and see what compartments and lining was inside, and to observe the overall quality and fit of the item, which was very convenient. It is also comforting to me, as a consumer, to know that the stores ability to prevent shoplifting directly impacts the pricing and my ability to afford the merchandise I want. I did find a new purse that day, and I am completely satisfied with my selection, and my shopping experience. I wonder what type of security devices will be available in the next decade, when I shop for my next purse!
