Trusting shoppers on theft pays off

Four weeks on, the display on the lease line with three large Beanie Ball plush items and our interactive dog has experienced NO theft. Despite being far away from the counter and quite easy to steal from, our property has been respected.

We’re surprised … we expected to lose one or two and were prepared to take the risk.

I am glad we did not give into fear of theft and not display these items in this best location.  Had we given into fear of theft we might not have achieved sales of close to $3,000 of these two items alone.

    Same, no theft as yet. These items were not selling inside shop even though they were displayed in window. Moved quickly once they were put outside.
    Gee the guy in the white car has a good parking spot!
