In recent months, burglaries have become staggeringly more frequent at jewelry stores in strip mall locations throughout the US and Canada. If you are a jewelry business owner with a location in a strip mall setting, it is crucial for you to know the ways in which criminals may be targeting your business, and how to protect yourself and your property from threats.

When you’re opening a new store or considering a move, one of the most important considerations may be the potential for a vault. Vaults make store set up and take down more efficient and can also decrease the wear and tear on your merchandise.

Because of their weight and the installation required, having a vault requires planning ahead of time. If you are looking to install a vault, involve your agent and insurance company as soon as possible!

Do you dread dropping off a shipment of jewelry because you fear that your package of valuables could be lost, damaged, or stolen? 

Maybe that fear stems from the confusion about the options available when shipping a package. After all, there are numerous carriers to choose from and even one of the most widely accessible — The United States Postal Service® (USPS) — has many services with different options.

Would you drive a car that wasn't crash-tested or inspected to make sure all of its complex parts worked together in harmony?

Hopefully not. The risks would be too devastating to overcome if something went wrong.

Now, apply that same principle and cautionary state of mind to your jewelry business and ask yourself if you can risk not having a UL-Certified alarm.

Jewelry trade shows and wedding season aren't the only signs of summer.

Severe storms and natural disasters become widespread once temperatures start rising. Every area in North America can be impacted by severe weather to one degree or another and the damages can be catastrophic.
