It’s a cold hard world out there for any kind of business, but especially for a small business. With the cost of everything going up, you need to save every penny you can. Perhaps you can’t afford very many employees, like a security guard. But you still want to deter shoplifters. This is where a business entrance door alert chime really shines…or chimes, as the case may be.

Please Ring For Service

When business is slow, the employees usually have to do other things to keep the store running, such as cleaning out the stock room, putting in orders or even cleaning up spills. Sometimes, you just can’t keep someone at the register all of the time. The old way was to leave a bell at the register with a note “Please Ring For Service”. But this became an E-ticket for shoplifters, who know that any employee won’t be around for a while. Even if you have a bell on your door, a team of shoplifters could either disable the bell or one could open and close the door, pretending to leave, while a partner cleans out your shop.

With a business entrance door alert chime, you can get a jump on the shoplifters, as well as not letting your paying customers wait too long for you to assist them. Business entrance door alert chimes are small devices that make a pleasant noise when a body passes in front of their motion sensors.

It’s hard to fool a business entrance door alert chime, especially if it’s placed in a hidden place or not at eye level. By the time a shoplifter discovers where the chime is coming from, you are already asking him or her, “May I help you?”

The Nitty Gritty

Business entrance door alert chimes are usually small, portable, battery operated devices that send out an infra red beam to sense any motion in the room, or just directly in front of it. Infra red beams are almost impossible to see in a decently lit room, so it’s very hard for anyone to try to doge the beam.

By placing the business entrance door alert chime below eye level in an inconspicuous place in your front room, any thief couldn’t see it in advance to avoid it. You could also put them in your stockroom or in your office (it’s not just the stuff on the sales floor that can interest a thief!) And, best of all, the average price is only about twenty dollars (batteries not included).
