Even your worst nightmare of a jewelry store robbery could be longer than actually experiencing it. Criminals today attack businesses and flee in less than a minute.
Preparation is the only way to avoid a traumatic event like this, and it's also the best way to get through it safely.
As you prepare for the busy holiday shopping season, don't forget to stay vigilant with your security measures.
Thieves come out in full force during the holidays. Knowing they can blend in with the rest of us who are out shopping for gifts, they're looking to pad their own wallet or collection.
With jewelry store thefts increasing in recent years, your entire staff needs to be prepared to help prevent crimes that can easily go unnoticed.
The way jewelers do business is changing, especially over the past 18 months, and many jewelers are finding other ways to buy and sell their pieces. One of those alternative ways is with private showings which may involve one party renting a hotel suite or other reservable space and sending invites to prospective buyers.
While these private shows are another way to pivot your business strategy to facilitate meaningful connections, you still need to be vigilant when it comes to keeping yourself and your inventory secure.
