Not What You Would Expect- Prevent Shoplifting

If you are experiencing minimal shortages, it could take several months, or even a year to determine that theft is taking place. In that amount of time, all of the small losses add up to a bigger financial decrease.

Preventing theft takes a look at ways to prevent even the smallest of losses before they become a big problem.

Unless you have had experience with theft and shoplifters, or have seen evidence of theft, you might be more willing to place the cause of your profits and sales on other factors. You might look at your employees customer service level, or might dismiss shortages as damaged items that were thrown out.

Shoplifting is an extremely common problem that affects every retailer and shop at some point. Depending on how bad the theft is, how rapidly or how high of a dollar loss per incident, makes a difference in how fast you can respond to preventing theft.

Sometimes, when losses are of a small dollar per incident, it makes it harder to track or identify where the problem is coming from. You end up racking your brain to find out why your inventory numbers are off, or why revenue is starting to take a slight decrease instead of anticipating that shoplifting was the cause of it all.
