Consumer spending is expected to be up nearly 4% throughout this holiday season. Employees’ smiles light up the stores as they greet customers in hope of increased sales and profits. One key to winning the holiday madness is making sure your business has heightened security measures in place for this busy time. “Consumer shoplifting and employee theft abound during the holiday season, often thanks to crowded stores, stressed employees working long holiday hours and an influx of seasonal workers.” Don’t become a statistic!
Computers Nationwide suggests 3 Ways to Protect Your Business this Holiday Season:
Commercial Surveillance
