Retail Loss Prevention – Explore New Technologies
Retail stores experience a substantial amount of loss every year. Retail loss prevention has become a hot topic in the boardroom and the back-room. Considering the current economy, consumers need lower prices and affordable goods in order to maintain their life-styles. Unfortunately, retail loss passes on to the consumer, as companies raise prices to keep up with the losses they are incurring.
Various methods of loss prevention allow retailers to reduce “shrinkage,” and increase profits, thereby benefiting both seller and buyer. Technology allows the business owner to view his or her precious merchandise with various scales of video and monitoring equipment, depending on their budgets. The implementation of this equipment has given many large and small businesses the ability to stand strong against retail loss, thereby allowing them to pass the savings along to the consumer. So how do you accomplish retail loss prevention and what steps can you take?
A popular methodology used by businesses consists of employing closed circuit television to monitor both customers and employees. This type of setup typically allows the owner or manger to monitor the entire store from one command center. The cameras require mounting around the store and may take on the look of a store fixture or be completely viewable to the public, depending on whether the objective is catch the perpetrator in the act, or forestall the act itself.
Technology provides many alternative ways for retailers and other businesses to protect their stores against both external and internal loss. Many companies show an interest in equipment that allows them to keep an eye on their products without infringing on the public’s right to privacy. This would be an example of utilizing “plain-site” cameras; Privacy can’t be infringed if there is no expectation of privacy. Money invested in the system is normally recovered quickly through the reduction of loss. Profits grow, resulting in price-to-value equalization. The security provider has demonstrated value to the retailer, who now has superior control inventory loss.

*** Does the Google Sniper method work? Yes, I can honestly say from experience that the method DOES work however the workload in order to achieve great success is hugely underplayed in the sales material. If you’re an experienced internet marketer and are familiar with Wordpress, YouTube, and Clickbank, then you could probably do it quite fast (around 1-3 hours/blog).
Both employee theft and customer theft are minimized after implementation of a detailed prevention plan to eliminate Retail loss. “Pin” camera placement in areas that view fitting rooms, bathroom facilities and other, more private, areas of the store including warehouses, have helped increase the apprehension of shoplifters and dishonest employees. Such systems also reduce the cost of fraudulent work injury claims.
Retail loss prevention provides businesses of any size the ability to take control of the problem and limit theft to a level that doesn’t endanger the business as a whole. Owners that wish to view their business from home, or an area outside of the store, can access the monitoring system by adding an additional screen at a secondary location, thus allowing remote monitoring.
Another positive aspect for the business owner is that insurance companies take into account security systems of this type when setting premium rates. Just as with cars, increased security equates to lower premiums.
It is manifest that a properly designed and monitored closed circuit television system provides many cost saving values, from reduction in insurance premiums to savings realized from the deterrence of “shrinkage” due to dishonest customers and employees.

UK Retail Commercial Property Investment Continues to Fall
Investment into UK shopping centres has decreased by almost 75% in 2008 according to Cushman and Wakefield’s latest report. Before the credit crunch took its toll UK retail commercial property was experiencing a boom growth cycle with 2004 being a record year for investment in UK shopping centres. However, the economic downturn has meant a record number of shops and retail commercial property have been left to collect dust in what once were busy high street shopping areas.
Welsh and West Midlands towns seem to be the worst affected by the decline. An increasing number of retailers are going into administration in areas such as Holyhead and Milford Haven in Wales and Chelmsley Wood in the West Midlands and there will be numerous shops and commercial properties left empty due to the downturn in consumer traffic and spending. Milford Haven already has a vacancy rate of 30% and Chelmsley Wood in the West Midlands has 28% of its shops left vacant. Despite these already large vacancy figures Experian predicts that both will see further declines throughout 2009. Similar effects to commercial property occupancy levels are expected to be seen at retail parks where due to the loss of MFI and Land of Leather, as well as other prominent high street brands occupancy levels are expected to drop to around 30%.

News for shopping centres and retail commercial property is not all doom and gloom for the UK however. Plans to carry out a major mixed-use development on Brighton’s seafront in Sussex have been restarted by Standard Life Investments after they were put on hold last year due to the adverse market conditions. Plans include significant expansion of the Churchill Square shopping centre as well as other leisure facilities developments. The huge investment and development will transform this particular area of Brighton and hopefully create a stunning new focal point on the seafront.
Towards the end of 2009 UK Retail commercial property investment is likely to begin to increase once again especially amongst cash rich buyers. They will have a rich supply of commercial property bargains available to them due to the decreasing values and prices of many real estate properties.

Singapore Retail Franchise That Creates Animal Land
Nobody knows great kids’ concepts better than the kids themselves. And it only takes a mom’s intuitive eye and belief on their child to transform a great concept to a successful business venture.
In one of the Dees annual family trek, Belinda noticed how her kids would rave about a unique “create your own stuffed toys” shop in the United States. She would notice how kids and kids at heart would flock to the store and go Home happy with an “adopted” animal or two that they themselves created.
It only took her some pencil pushing to realise how much potential the concept holds as a possible business venture. In no time, Belinda was talking to the top honchos of the brand and finding ways how to bring the concept to the Philippines and the rest of Southeast Asia.
It did not take long before she opened Animaland at the Rockwell Powerplant Mall before Christmas of 2005. The concept became a huge hit and soon more Animaland shops were set up in the top malls of the country.
Animaland is a rapidly growing chain of mall-based entertainment retail stores and kiosks located in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Philippines and now in Singapore. Patronage of Animaland is an experience that allows guests to make and dress their own personalised stuffed toy animals.
The concept capitalises on the growing demand for experienced-based shopping, as well as the universal appeal of the stuffed toy animal. The products and services cater to all age groups and demographics, but the majority of the guests are children, parents, grandparents and teenagers.
The Animaland Business Franchise Opportunities
A typical Animaland shop is a stuffed animal friend theme designed with original fixtures and brightly coloured graphics. The shop size is anywhere between a 15 square meter kiosk to a 40 square meter small inline unit.

Forex Trading in the Retail Marketplace – My Frustration
I must admit, I am a Forex trader and have been for several years now!
I love currency trading; watching the markets and performing the technical analysis needed to enter a trade. From a trading perspective there is nothing better than watching a well-planned trade go positive, resetting your backstop to lock-in profit and moving into the world’s money! Taken on average I have done fairly well with my trading, I have grown my initial trading account since I left demo and went live in 2004. Like most traders I have had good periods and bad periods in my trading career.
I have not become independently wealthy trading foreign currency, yet. I struggle to be an active trader at times because I have a normal day job and am a devoted family man. My vision as a currency trader is clear though; I will break free from my day job and I will achieve personal financial freedom trading in the forex market.
Successful traders, based on my experience, are disciplined and consistent in their approach to the market and are always inquisitive. They work very hard at what they do and they know how to control their emotions when trading. The bottom line is this, they make money in the forex market by trading. Many of these traders are glad to help others and, in fact, take great pleasure in mentoring. They understand that there is a real strength in a forex trading community, where individuals can benefit from the power of many. They represent the consummate professional. There are those, however, whose intentions are not so good.
What frustrates me the most about the retail forex market today is the contradictory advice and guidance being propagated by the “so-called” Forex professionals many of whom are not even active traders. The retail market is unbelievably fragmented and full of people trying to make money by selling various products and services to retail traders like us. Many of those products and services are nothing more than scams. The shame of this is that there are some great products on the market but it is very difficult and very time consuming to figure out which ones those are.
New traders tend to adopt the tools, systems, and techniques they are initially taught with and that is natural. With a little experience I have learned that some diversification in tools and techniques is good, you need a good system of checks and balances when trading currencies. Some of the big questions that need asking are. . . . How do you know which products are good? How do you know when the intention of the maker/marketer is only to make a quick buck in the huge Retail forex market? How do you know if fellow traders have any experience, good or bad with this product? Where do you find the time to answer questions like these?
Further, most products seem to have fantastic, and very often, unproven claims associated with them. How do you know which are honest product claims? Almost anyone can set up a website and promote a product with far-fetched claims and exaggerated testimonials. Getting any type of testimonial is easy, people will do or say most anything for money! Enough! The “so-called” expert can not be trusted.
The retail forex product market needs a baseline established. Products need to be reviewed and judged by people who are actually forex traders! This information needs to be collected, as a community, and be made available to everyone, regardless of trading experience. Here, again, is where we find strength in numbers.
I view all products and the makers of those products (except those I use now) with scepticism and so should you. I want to see this veil of ambiguity that surrounds many forex products removed. I want to see these grand claims proven; If the product is good and delivers value to the trader then it will stand on its own.
Traders need to focus on making profit in the market not figuring out who the scam artists are. It is time we do something about this, and fxskinny.com is where we begin.

Friday Financial Rewind: Planes, Retail, Banks, Volatility
This week was a week of market volatility, retail woes, bigger bank woes, and an amazing story involving an airplane. First, the VIX (click here if you don’t remember what the VIX is) or CBOE Volatility Index started at $42 on Monday and at its height Thursday was at $55 and ended today at $46. Remember that during a healthy market, we see the VIX hovering around $10. Not only is this number nearly 5 times higher than normal, but the swing in the number this week indicates that investors are uncomfortable with the state of the financial markets. The good news is that it’s still down from its October high of $81. For you advanced investors, if you would have bought 100 shares of the VIX (I’ve heard you can do it but never looked in to how as Scottrade doesn’t allow you to do it.) on January 7th you would have made more than $1,200 if you sold yesterday. Not a bad return for just 9 days invested. Of course this kind of trade isn’t for the new investor due to the volatility. The next market day is Tuesday. Inauguration Day is one of those out of the ordinary events where we can’t make a highly educated determination of what will happen. The market remains oversold so I’m still confident that we will get a rally any day now.
It was another bad week for Retail and it isn’t going to improve any time soon. Business Pundit, wrote an entry concerning Circuit City (http://www.businesspundit.com/) today talking about the liquidation of the electronics chain. They announced today that all stores will be closing after failing to find a buyer. This is the highest profile retail bankruptcy to date and most believe that Circuit City is only the first of many who will be victims of the recession this year. Best Buy is now in a perfect spot to gain even more market share and the investor looking to capitalize on this would be well advised to get Best Buy on their watch list. Right now probably isn’t the time to buy retail but as the sector starts to improve get a position in Best Buy. Don’t miss it, though. Watch the sector leaders for signs of recovery and invest early. (By the way, I bought Walmart at its low and am well positioned when this best of breed retail stock starts it’s recovery. I don’t think it will take long.)
Probably the biggest story of the week was the banking sector. The bears have worked hard this week to drive banking stocks down and they did a fine job. Probably the main reason the market was down was because of the banks. The bears saw weakness and started a shorting borage that resulted in huge loses. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup were able to come together and announce a merger which is a good thing for Morgan. JPMorgan proved why the street loves Jamie Diamon. They are truly the best of the worst in the financial sector. Bank of America and Citigroup posted awful earnings and the government had to lend 20 billion to Bank of America because of its recent Merrill Lynch acquisition. Finally, Citigroup split its assets today making two separate divisions. Keep all of this in perspective. One of these announcements should be a huge market mover but to have all of this in a week is truly historic. This gives us a very good indication about how the market feels right now. It was a bad week but not a catastrophic week in terms of the Dow and S&P. Investors are expecting the worst and it’s already priced in. Just another reason why I believe that the market is oversold and we have established a trading range. We tested the 8000 level and were able to hold. There was definitely a buy level down there which gave us a bounce when we tested it.
Finally, some great news. This is barely financial news but worth writing. Yesterday a US Airways aircraft was forced to land in the Hudson River. If you have followed this story today you have heard phrases like “Miracle on the Hudson.” We have endured a constant amount bad news lately. It’s hard to be excited if you are covering the market but the fact that an extraordinary pilot with an extraordinary crew could do the almost impossible saving more than 150 lives is truly the feel good story of the first part of 2009. I was refreshed that CNBC covered this story in such depth because we are in a market full of negative everything but they took time to highlight an extraordinary story.
Have a great holiday weekend. Starting looking at infrastructure positions next week. Get your watch list ready because we’re getting Obama.

Solutions for Retail Loss Prevention
One of the critical concerns of retail businesses today is Retail Loss Prevention. This is true regardless of the size of the business. Small family owned businesses face the same problems with shop-lifting and burglaries as large department stores. Such crimes are on the rise and the authorities can do little to prevent them. The best the police can do is to try to catch the criminals after the fact, but this seldom leads to the recovery of lost inventory.
It is up to business owners to find and install good Loss Prevention Systems that keep these crimes from ever occurring or stop them in the act. While no Retail Loss Prevention System is foolproof, modern technology has provided the means to protect even the largest business complex and minimize losses.
However, the best Loss Prevention Systems must contain the latest technology and be properly installed and maintained. CCTV, (closed circuit television) Systems often provide the best protection for retailers if they are properly set up.
Unfortunately, many small retailers try to cut costs by simply installing a few closed circuit cameras on the premises.

Retail Installment Contracts and Consumer Receivables
Many businesses sell their products or services to consumers on terms. The consumer can purchase high priced goods and services with affordable monthly payments over 6 to 60 months. This enables many consumers to buy products and services, which they could not pay for in one large payment.
This method of buying products and services allows consumers to enjoy and utilize products immediately while paying for it over several months or years and fits into a budget that is manageable. This type of purchase is called a Retail Installment Contract, which is between the retail establishment or merchant and the consumer. The consumer signs a contract and agrees to pay the merchant a monthly payment until the purchase amount of the product plus the interest is paid in full. When the contract is paid in full, the consumer has full ownership of the product.
Many businesses would be unable to stay in business if they did not sell goods and services on terms. Products and services ranging from $500.00 to $15,000.00 are usually financed – sold by using a Retail Installment Contract. A good example would be purchasing a car. The car is financed for 60 to 72 months and the buyer can drive the car as long as the payments are made each month.
Buying a home would not be considered a consumer Retail Installment Contract. A home is financed by a mortgage with a payment term of 30 years.
Some common industries that sell products and services using Retail Installment Contracts are Health, Home, Technology, Education, and Recreation. These might include Computers, Campgrounds, Radio Keratotomy, Personal Jewelry, Internet Access, Nursing, Travel Clubs, Orthodontia, Security Systems, Web Sites, Massage, Resorts Timeshares, Veterinary, Water Purification, Dating Services, Electric Mobility, Furniture, Business Opportunities, Fitness Equipment, Hearing Aids, Plastic Surgery, Pet Stores, Appliances, Household Goods, Seminars, Martial Arts, Dentistry, Buyer’s Clubs, Electronics, Health Clubs, Piano Sales, etc.
Merchants can be traditional brick and mortar retail and service stores, in-home direct sellers, direct-mail, infomercial sellers, and internet sellers. Merchants that are selling products or services that range between $500 and $15,000 may lose many sales opportunities unless they offer financing to the buyer. By utilizing a consumer finance company, merchants are not required to have deep pockets to carry the sales financing themselves.
A finance company buys (at a discount) the installment sales contracts of retail merchants, which provides an immediate cash flow to the merchant. The merchant can stock more products and make more sales. A merchant can sell new Retail Installment Contracts as they are originated and their current in house portfolio of consumer receivables to generate immediate cash for restocking, capital improvements, and provide working capital.

Proactive Retail Loss Prevention Techniques to Save Your Business Money
Retail loss prevention is vital to the success of your retail business. Shoplifters cause retailers billions of dollars in retail losses each year. Employee theft is an equally insidious contributor to losses in inventory or cash. Robbery and vandalism can cause serious financial damage to your business.
There are numerous ways to protect your inventory and ensure the success of your business. Be thorough in your hiring practices. Be sure your employees are aware of any loss prevention measures you employ at your business. Be alert in your environment. Learn to spot the signs of potential shoplifters. Are customers spending too much time browsing? Utilize strategically placed mirrors in difficult-to-see areas of your retail business. Security tags, combined with security gates, can help some businesses keep track of their inventory as well.
Most small businesses lack the financial means to hire a professional dedicated to retail loss prevention. One alternative, and one of the most effective methods of loss prevention, is modern security technology, which can significantly reduce the losses your business will suffer if you are the victim of a crime. A Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system is one method of retail loss prevention that can, at best, completely deter theft of your retail property and, at least, document a crime and help police to apprehend the criminals and recover your goods if your business is targeted.
CCTV systems work by sending a signal to a set of monitors or recording devices. Some security systems provide live, real-time surveillance that can be actively monitored throughout the day. Other systems can record the activities in your retail location for use on an as-needed basis. You must determine what kind of system would best fit your retail loss prevention needs.
Be sure to place your security camera or cameras in areas of your retail store that will get the most effective coverage of the area. A security system that monitors only a small area of your space is not very effective. Don’t place cameras in vulnerable locations, such as within easy reach, where they could be tampered with.
Decide whether you’d be better served by a hidden camera system or a visible system. While hidden camera systems may more readily catch unsuspecting thieves in the act, a highly visible security system may serve as a deterrent to theft altogether. You should also decide, based on the size of your retail business, whether a single camera would provide all the security you need, or whether a multi-camera system would be appropriate. Larger businesses would probably not be served well with single-camera systems, and vice versa.
Advancing technologies make it even easier to monitor your business and prevent losses due to crime. Old, familiar videotape security systems, while still available, are becoming obsolete and are being replaced by systems utilizing digital recording devices, providing a much higher level of quality. Updated security systems even have the capability to send signals directly to a computer.
Cameras, monitors, and VCRs or digital recording devices can be combined to provide a high level of protection against retail loss. There are numerous details to consider as you plan for your personalized security system. Most suppliers of security equipment not only provide the security systems, but also offer installation of your new system and consulting services for getting the most out of your investment. Experts can help you analyze your needs and create an effective security system for maximum retail loss prevention.
