4 Reasons you Should Ramp up Black Friday Security

Four reasons why increasing Black Friday security is crucial for success and profitability:

• Shoplifting – With such big crowds, shoplifting is harder to detect on Black Friday. Thieves try to take advantage of how busy the store personnel are.  They do this by slipping stuff into their pockets and bags or hiding things under their clothes before exiting.
• Identity Fraud – On Black Friday, scammers are more likely to use another person’s information and/or credit cards to make purchases.  Because employees are overwhelmed by how busy it is, they often do not notice this happening.
• Customer Violence – Unfortunately, Black Friday is often associated with many different types of unwarranted instore violence. These situations often result in injury and police intervention, but security can help minimize these risks.
• Traffic Jams – Because there are so many people, it can be difficult to get around the store. When people are packed like sardines into one space, there are higher chances of accidental injuries, tripping, and falling.
