7 Ways to Prepare Your Retail Store for Retail Holiday Season ORNA

Are you equipped with the necessary tools to prevent theft and loss?

1. Well-Trained Employees – Employees are the first line of defense when it comes to preparing your store for the retail holiday season. Make sure your employees…

  • Keep eyes open and heads up
  • Make eye contact with customers
  • Are aware of know common shoplifting tricks and techniques
  • Are aware of all customers in the store
  • Identify the number of items being taken into the fitting room so the costumer knows what enters and what comes out

2. Plan Seasonal Hires in Advance – The retail holiday season will undoubtedly bring more costumers into your store. Make sure you hire enough staff to manage the increased traffic. Not being able to attend to the entire store and your customers may bring unwanted loss.

3. Exit Bag Checks – Keeping an employee at the exit that can check bags and receipts will significantly reduce theft. This person could be one of the seasonal employees you hire.

4. Security Cameras – Installing cameras will help you identify theft once it’s happened and hopefully deter thieves from stealing in the first place.

5. Security Tags – You can install security tags on vulnerable items to ensure an alarm goes off if the item is removed, alerting your team to the theft.

6. Inventory Management – Are you checking new inventory before it is going on the floor? Being aware of the products being sold will make sure the numbers match up at close out. Make sure your trusted employees have access to new inventory to make sure it’s sold and it doesn’t gain legs and walk away without being paid for.

7. Secret Shoppers – Testing your employees might be something you should consider. Well-trained employees at preventing theft will reduce the likelihood of loss.
