Shoplifters are continually trying to beat the system. Retailers are continually trying to beat the shoplifters, and so the cycle goes. Each time a shoplifter develops a new plan, there are new retail anti theft devices to thwart them.  Unfortunately, every time there are new tools to prevent shoplifting, shoplifters begin to find ways to defeat them.

As a result of this cycle, Alpha Security has come up with a different approach to prevent shoplifting. They developed the Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices. This is an EAS tag with an extra deterrent for shoplifting.

A 1 alarm EAS tag will create an audible alarm from the door pedestals, if a tag passes through the doors without being deactivated first. Shoplifters can tamper with the tags to defeat them, or they might risk setting off the alarm and leaving with the merchandise anyway.

An Alpha 2 Alarm takes care of half the problem. The second part of the alarm is an audible directly from the EAS tag if the tag is tampered with.

The Alpha 3 Alarm takes the first two parts and adds an audible alarm directly from the EAS tag if the tag passes through the doors without being deactivated.

No longer can shoplifters take their stolen product with them without being heard everywhere they go.

When a shoplifter feels like they have been caught, they can do a number of things, from running away, fighting, or even discarding the merchandise. When we look for solutions to prevent shoplifting, we look for ways to let the shoplifter feel like they have been caught.

Ultimately, we are trying to get the shoplifter to discard our merchandise without further incident. Trying to make a detention can be problematic, and can end up costing more money and resources if the case is pushed through the court system for prosecution.

When we employ Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices as part of our strategy, we are creating a situation where the shoplifters benefit by discarding the product on their own.

When the shoplifter leaves the store with an Alpha Security Alpha 3 Alarm protected product, the exit doors alarm, so do the actual retail anti theft devices attached to the merchandise. Even if the shoplifter continues to leave with the merchandise, there is an audible alarm on the product- making it impossible for the shoplifter not to be noticed.

They will discard the product, which allows the retailer to follow the sound until they find and retrieve the merchandise. All without further incident or risk of conflict.

It is amazing how many different retail anti theft devices are out in the market right now. It is a blessing for retailers to be able to finally have not only EAS tag options, but also to have product specific solutions to prevent shoplifting.

That being said, just because you can get extremely high tech or extravagant with features and functions does not mean you actually need to. There is no need to be overly complicated with your retail anti theft devices if you don’t actually need to.

 Alpha Security Alpha Spider Wrap has three different levels of security needs. There is the basic line, which has a typical one-alarm functionality. The Alpha Spider Wrap is also available with the Alpha 2 Alarm and the Alpha 3 Alarm.

 Depending upon your store’s specific needs, you might not need to have the Alpha 2 Alarm or the Alpha 3 Alarm. If you have a small square footage store, or the product is up at a POS where there is an employee nearby, having the early alarm system built in might be overkill.

I am frequently asked to clarify the Alpha Security Alpha 2 Alarm and the Alpha 3 Alarm. More importantly, my clients are trying to figure out how to use these retail anti theft devices to stop shoplifting.

The Alpha 2 Alarm and the Alpha 3 Alarm are just identifiers to the technology that is found within the Alpha Security lines of retail anti theft devices. Take the CableLok for example.

A CableLok is a portable and reusable locking system to prevent shoplifting. The cable lanyard comes in three sizes: 6”, 48” and 72”.

The alarm options are as follows:

The CableLoks with the Alpha 2 Alarm provide standard EAS protection if a breech occurs. It also provides an early warning alarm if the lock is tampered with inside of the store.

The Alpha 3 Alarm CableLoks incorporate the same functionality that the Alpha 2 Alarm models do. Additionally, the third alarm is the 95 dBA self alarm if the lock and merchandise is removed from the store.

The long lasting lithium battery, flashing light and visible speaker are standard on both the Alpha 2 Alarm and Alpha 3 Alarm models.

Do you really need retail anti theft devices throughout your entire store? For some small businesses, the answer is no. They may be looped into the expense of trying to prevent shoplifting throughout the entire square footage because they are not aware that there are small effective and cost efficient alternatives.

The Alpha Security Alpha Nano Gate is just such a retail anti theft device. Say you have a general merchandise store that has a small area built in for electronics like GPS or mobile phones. Since these are items that you do not want to have floating around on their own, you have made a type of store in store location for them.

By installing an Alpha Nano Gate on specifically for this in store location, you only have to use the Alpha 3 Alarm on these high theft items. If anyone passes by the Alpha Nano Gate with an Alpha 3 Alarm tagged product, the audible alarm will activate and the product’s location can be found.

This saves the money needed to purchase and maintain the big Checkpoint towers by the exit doors, and puts your retail anti theft devices only where they are needed.

Laundry bottles are hard plastic, curved and relatively heavy. Finding a plausible solution to prevent shoplifting has not been easy for the general merchandise retailers who carry these items. That makes it that much easier for shoplifters, mostly within the drug trade, to abscond with these expensive and largely unprotected detergent bottles.

EAS labels can be peeled off the outside, and would damage the contents if affixed to the inside. Straight pin EAS tags have nowhere to go, and puncturing the bottle would cause it to leak- spoiling the soap inside.

There are, however, some retail anti theft devices, which are, designed more for clothing security than detergent but still work surprisingly well. 
Alpha 2 Alarm and the Alpha 3 Alarm Alpha Security branded Cable Loks have a secured loop that wraps around the bottle’s handle.

The Cable Loks can utilize either the Alpha 2 Alarm or the Alpha 3 Alarm technology. Store employees will have a much better chance of being aware of the thefts before the damage can be done. The Alpha 2 Alarm will sound as the lock is tampered with. If a shoplifter doesn’t tamper with the lock to defeat it before they leave the store, the Cable Lok will stay armed. If they pass by the exit door towers and the Lok has an Alpha 3 Alarm, the lock will emit an audible alarm for up to ten minutes allowing the shoplifter to be noticed and the merchandise to be followed.

Using EAS tags to prevent shoplifting is a statistically sound prevention technique. Time and time again, retailers who use these retail anti theft devices see a significant reduction in inventory losses.

That does not mean that shoplifters simply walk away never to be seen or heard from again. What we find is that shoplifters are continually trying to beat the system. Over the years since EAS was first used, shoplifters have spent their time trying to thwart these tags.

Shoplifters will tamper with the tags to defeat them. They also might risk setting off the alarm and leaving with the merchandise even though they might be noticed while heading out the door.

Either way, each time a shoplifter develops a new plan, there must be new retail anti theft devices designed to thwart them.

Alpha Security has come up with a different approach to in response to shoplifter’s continual attempts to defeat EAS tagging products. They developed the Alpha 3 Alarm. This is an EAS tag that has an extra deterrent for shoplifting.

The Alpha 3 Alarm added an audible alarm directly to the EAS tag that sounds when the tag passes through the store’s exit doors without being deactivated.

When a shoplifter exits a store with an Alpha 3 Alarm secured item of merchandise, the exit doors alarm, and so does the actual the merchandise. The EAS tag has an internal alarm that emits a loud audible alarm if not deactivated at the point of sale. If the shoplifter continues to leave with the store with the merchandise, the audible alarm on the product will make it impossible for the shoplifter not to be noticed.

When we utilize Alpha Security Alpha 3 Alarm as part of our prevent shoplifting strategy, we are creating a situation where the shoplifters benefit by discarding the product on their own volition. When we attempt to interact with a shoplifter, specifically when we attempt to make a detention, we run the risk of a conflict situation escalating.

When a shoplifter is faced with confrontation they may come back to the store quietly. There is also the chance that they might try to run, or they might try to fight their way out of the situation. This puts you and everyone else around you in the risk of injury.

If you are using Alpha 3 Alarm retail anti theft devices, the alarm will encourage the shoplifter to discard the merchandise rather than continuing to hold onto something emitting a loud, noticeable noise. Once they discard the merchandise, the retailer can follow the sound until they find and retrieve the merchandise. All without further incident or risk of conflict.
