Holiday Security in St. Petersburg Clearwater

ESS Global Corp has been providing holiday security in St. Petersburg Clearwater for all types of merchants, both small businesses and the national chains. Here are some of the major challenges we help you overcome.
Customer Shoplifting and Employee Shrinkage – With these increased massive crowds, stores of every kind and size, both retail and service, are much more vulnerable to theft, especially in light of your staff being overwhelmed attempting to provide service to so many people. While regular employees may be loyal, you have seasonal help that also knows that come January, they won’t be collecting a paycheck or may be associated with organized crime. 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 holiday sales will be completely free of all shoplifting and shrinkage, a visible security force certainly helps deter unwanted activity.
