35.8% of annual losses due to shrinkage are attributed to shoplifting. The #1 reason for shoplifting is that it is easy and there is little or no risk involved. Some suggestions for shoplifting prevention:
Install convex mirrors that allow employees to easily observe all corners and aisles.
Have only one entrance and one exit to your business.
Have a patrol officer at the entrance and exit.
Keep expensive merchandise inside locked cases.
Use electronic tags that cannot be removed by a non-employee without damaging the merchandise.
