Just like in the retail sector, many libraries are unaware of how much they need library theft prevention from a library theft detection system. The reality is that losses that libraries incur are often even more devastating financially than those to a retail store. The difference is because retail stores are revenue producing, where as libraries often run on donations, volunteers and city budgeting.
As a result, many libraries are suffering undo losses because those in City councils are unaware that libraries even incur such a loss. They reason that because the library system is based upon a free checkout, there is no logical need to steal. Then these councils reallocate budgets without factoring in losses from theft.
When there is not a budget to replace stolen items, it makes it harder for libraries to offer a quality service. When the quality of the libraries is perceived as going down hill, donations, community support and other valuable resources are no longer sufficient- starting a snowball effect.
By looking into library theft detection systems to discourage and reduce losses you will find that the long-term benefits actually help maintain the quality and integrity of the libraries. That makes it easier on the city budget to do what needs to be done to provide the community an invaluable resource- the city library.

Understanding your sales numbers is business 101. It is the most basic practice within the retail environment. If you do not know what your sales are, you have absolutely no way to determine if your business is being successful, or if you are about ready to go under.
What fewer owners and operators understand is how to drill down their sales numbers and make this data actually work for enhanced success. It is the difference between knowing that your sales are consistently good (or bad) and knowing that your data might be skewed from an abnormally large sale (or refund).
The added step to make your sales data even more accurate and beneficial to you is to implement some kind of retail traffic counter systems. These people counters, or traffic counters, can help break down your sales information on much smaller platforms. It allows you to go beyond sales per day. You now have the ability to do sales per hour, and also generate a conversion rate- basically how much you sell per customer.
This gives you the starting point to grow your business in two ways. You can increase your ticket average (sales per customer) and you can increase your customer traffic. Both ways increase your revenue.
When you can pinpoint which of these two areas you want to focus on, you have a better chance of determining the next course of action. Do you want to run additional marketing promotions or advertising to increase the overall number of customers making purchases?
Would you rather take the customers traffic already coming in, but increase what those customers are purchasing? If so, you would do better to spend your time and money not on advertising, but on training your employees to push add on sales.
Both ways start with a drill down of your sales numbers. Then you add on a retail traffic counter to separate what kinds of sales you are generating, and then creating a solution to increase or enhance the sales you don’t have.

All school bookstores are faced with trying to figure out how to handle bookstore security. While not all authors are going to have the same penchant for being stolen, school bookstores all have their own list of titles and authors that are more popular than others, when comes to being shoplifted.
The most popular method of bookstore security to combat these shoplifting losses is to keep the books locked behind the sales counter. Being out of the reach of shoplifters helps keep the books safe to be sold to actual customers.
Can simply keeping books locked up in cases or on shelves behind the counter positively impact sales?
If you are loosing more books than you are selling, then the answer might be yes, but only in the short term. Eventually, these books will not sell because they are locked up, and the lack of sales floor exposure will reduce the sales volume of these titles.
Down the road, these titles will not drive the same sales numbers that they once did when merchandised in a prominent sales location. Bookstore security is about how to mitigate the losses from shoplifting while continuing to maintain appropriate sales of all frequently stolen books.
