As we approach the holidays our jewelers start stocking up on inventory. Hoping and anticipating a busy season of sales this is a proactive way to have what your next customer is looking for.
In stocking up your stores you are also increasing the potential loss should the store be burglarized whether a “smash and grab” or a “grab and run” this is a good time to evaluate your asset protection. Here are a list of recommended protections measures to consider.
-Show one item at a time.
-Keep showcases locked.
-Watch for those “casing” your store.
-Increase the number of employees on the floor when you have more customers in the store.
-Laminate your showcases. To laminate your showcases this slows down the ability for someone to use a hammer or other metal object to smash the showcase glass.
-Respond to every alarm. Anytime an alarm goes off go in person or send someone in person to check what set it off.
-Consider adding more cameras.
These are a couple of ways to ensure the holiday season is as profitable as it should be. For other tips and suggestions and to keep up with the current crime facts sign up the Clockwork Insurance newsletter: https://www.clockworkinsurance.com/crime-facts.html
