This holiday season as your store begins to fill up, dishonest shoppers and untrustworthy employees will see it as a more appealing place to take what they’d like without paying the bill. According to the most recent reports by Business News Daily, U.S. retailers are expected to lose over $9 billion dollars from crime this holiday season, mostly from employee theft and shoplifting.
U.S. retailers will lose $4.7 billion through employee theft, $3.8 billion though shoplifting and $400 million through vendor and distribution, according to a new study by the Center for Retail Research.
The losses will represent a 4 percent increase over the same period last year.
The top three product categories most likely to be stolen over the Christmas period are alcohol, women’s clothing and fashion accessories. Other attractive targets for crooks and sticky-fingered employees are toys, perfume, health and beauty gift packs and electronic devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.

And it’s not just retail. With public spaces getting more and more crowded, concerns are often raised on security issues, especially during the holidays. Bars and restaurants as places for public gathering are particularly hard-hit. According to General Social Survey nearly 40% of crimes in commercial spaces last occurred in restaurants and bars. These holiday issues have the potential to impact not only victims, but also their families, friends, communities and society more broadly. Not to mention that this can undermine the whole foundation of your business.

  • Curtail Shoplifting – Along with the increased crowds, businesses of every kind and size are much more vulnerable to theft, especially in light of your staff being overwhelmed attempting to provide service to so many customers.
  • Contain Employee Theft – Employee theft is more common than shoplifting in the holidays. More often than not, it’s the temporary season help. Sometimes these are professionally organised retail criminals posing as seasonal help.
  • Organized Retail Crime– Organized Retail Criminals go into high gear during the holidays. These people will take hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of your merchandise, without a doubt be a hard set to catch, require hours of your time, and sometimes be dangerous to for a store owner to detain. Everyone  from small business owners to the FBI want to catch these people as they are the biggest animal on the shoplifting food chain.
  • Provide Customer Safety and Crowd Control – During the holidays the crowds are larger and the tempers are shorter. Hiring crowd control and venue crowd control security experts from ESS Global helps protect your employees and customers.

Black Friday is the day in which your store is the busiest, the day your store associates are the most distracted, the day your fitting rooms are the most unorganized, the day the crowd is the most agitated and the day the police are the busiest.

Customer Shoplifting and Employee Shrinkage – With these increased massive crowds, stores of every kind and size are much more vulnerable to theft, especially in light of your staff being overwhelmed attempting to provide service to so many people. Sadly, statistics show that employee theft is more active during the holidays as well. While regular employees may be loyal, you have seasonal help that also knows that come January, they won’t be collecting a paycheck anyways. Employee theft skyrockets because there is so much activity for store owners, managers and supervisors to keep tabs on. While a security presence doesn’t guarantee that your Black Friday sales will be completely free of all shoplifting and shrinkage, a visible security force certainly helps deter unwanted activity.
