\"Business owners are at tremendous risk over Christmas\" says Mick Featherstone. \"Everything from credit card fraud, identity theft, shoplifting and employee theft increase this time of year\".
Businesses can implement some very easy and low-cost strategies to greatly enhance their protection and keep their hard earned money in their pockets.
5 Tips include -
1. Signage - management statement that \"shop stealing will be prosecuted\" makes a solid impact
2. Bigger packaging - the larger the package the harder it is to hide.
3. Visible Cameras - use signs that make this obvious \"You Are on Camera\"
4. Pro-active approach - ask suspect looking customers \"Can I help you?\" before they attempt to steal something
5. Enforcement - in cases where stealing has occurred, support the police by pressing charges
Other tips include -
** Appropriate product location strategies. Locate your high risk products in an area of high visibility and control during storage and in the sales area
** Plan ahead - Use up to date techniques such as one-way entrance and exit gates, low level fixtures, closed circuit TV and anti-theft display equipment
