When you use people counting systems, I have no doubt that you are looking for analytics like traffic patterns, conversion rates, and general customer traffic to determine your busy times. You are probably finding out that there are multitudes of ways to take that data and increase not only your revenue, but also the overall success of your business.
Looking at the reports, you may have already found that you can readjust your employee schedules to have more coverage during your busy times- based off of a more accurate metric of customer count instead of straight sales. Even if you have a low conversion rate, increasing employees during your high customer traffic times can create an increase to your sales.
Did you know that you could take your EAS report and tie it into your people counting reports? The point being, you can actually pinpoint shoplifting and theft trends in your store. The best way to do this is to take the report of when your EAS system is registering alarms and compare it to the total customers, and also total sales during this same time frame.
If you start to track these numbers over a few weeks or even a month, you might see a pattern starting to develop. You might notice that you have more alarms during a certain day of the week, or a certain time frame. You might see a pattern of lower sales, but higher traffic- indicating the people entering your store are not buying, because they are shoplifting.
These are the times that you want to be more attentive to the people coming in. Increasing employees to keep an eye out for theft is also a great deterrent, since you already have an EAS system in place.
Many retailers don’t realize just how hard it is to prevent shoplifting once the shoplifter has started their process. If a shoplifter has come into the store and weighed the effectiveness of your security with their own level of confidence and decided they can get away with the theft, it is too late.
Once a shoplifter’s eye is on a prize, it can be extremely difficult to persuade them to not take the merchandise and go quietly out of the store.
Now that the shoplifter has a goal in mind, and a plan, they have already started to mentally tear down any measures you have in place to prevent shoplifting. The good news is that most stores who have minimal security can actually reduce the losses by shoplifters, if they start to add additional security features.
By beefing up retail anti theft devices in particular ones produced by Alpha Security, you start to weigh the scales back into your favor, persuading the shoplifter to steal somewhere less risky.
When a potential shoplifter enters a store and sees multiple ways to prevent shoplifting like caring and attentive employees and retail ant theft devices, suddenly the desire to steal is outweighed by the desire to not get caught.

Many small business owners are stuck in a hiring loop. To save on payroll and training costs, many owners will wait until the last possible minute to start the hiring and recruiting process to fill open positions. Decisions on who to hire are made hastily, and often there is no time to conduct thorough employee background checks.
When you hire slowly, you also have an opportunity to collect more job applications, thus widening the hiring pool to include a better range of qualifications and abilities.
You are not limited to saying yes to only the first few applications that land on your desk. You now have the luxury of discretion to be able to say no to those applications, and wait for better applicants to apply.
Hiring quickly puts small business owners in a position of “hiring a warm body”. This is a phrase used at many retailers to describe an employee who has very little skill or productivity in the position they employ. It means the employee is there just to have someone employed. It does not mean that they are of any real use to the business, and are holding a spot until a better applicant comes by.
Because needing to have a position filled immediately does not pressure you, you can make sure that you are hiring a better caliber of applicant. This is reiterated by using pre employment screening and employee background checks to further show the quality of person you want to employ.
