Why Customers Love Zips

1. High-Security Without Deterring Sales

Just imagine breaking the bank on high-security, ironclad protection for your already expensive merchandise, only to see your sales slipping because customers can’t feel what they’re buying. Over 80% of consumers prefer visiting brick-and-mortar stores to see items in person before they buy—whether that sale happens online or right in the store. The Zips Looping Sensor effortlessly solves this problem!

This innovative sensor has a steel-reinforced cable that provides solid physical and alarming security—without the hassle of locking products behind cages and padlocks. The discreet cable loops around your merchandise, offering powerful protection. And if you need a little extra security for accessories, you can easily add a plunger sensor to secure things like removable batteries.

What’s great is that the Alarm Unit connector features a screw that keeps everything locked in place, ensuring that your setup stays secure from the merchandise all the way to the fixture. If a potential thief tries to cut the cord, yank it out of place, or detach an accessory, the alarm will sound—even in those tricky spots of your store with limited visibility.

This approach gives you the flexibility to protect products with different security needs while keeping your displays looking great. It’s a subtle yet incredibly effective solution for minimizing theft risks without getting in the way of sales.
