      Hopefully you have proper insurance that will cover your expenses. BTW, once you get settled I highly encourage getting a till system from a modern cloud based service that integrates with your website. It’s great for record keeping and streamlining your business processes.

  • @edgestrikecyber
    @edgestrikecyber ปีที่แล้ว

    I own an SEO & digital marketing business (22 years in business) and I can tell you from experience, that the main reason video views decrease is that the algorithm constantly learns how to deliver the video to different audiences. TH-cam is constantly analyzing the click-through rate and traffic on your videos. It's learning which audiences respond best to impressions and which stay on the video longer. But it's not always a fluid learning process. Sometimes TH-cam tests your video on a new audience, and doesn't get the positive signals it needs to keep delivering it. Therefore, viewership decreases. Just keep putting out great content and give TH-cam the freshness factor and it will start to go back up.

    @richardmattingly7000 ปีที่แล้ว

    Leaving an empty till open after closing often save it from being taken since they want the cash not it usually and they'll break into on fastened down if the drawer is closed. Most large retailers keep theirs empty on closed lanes and between cashiers since its a good practice for every shop no matter the size. Many organized rings that resell buy quickly in cash from those that shoplift often on order so they'll take what's popular and sell it online making millions each month...💸

    So sorry about the burglary! Might want to get some interior Ring cameras. One for the front and one for the back. You can set them so if there is motion detected it will alert you immediately, if you have wifi at the shop. That way you can get an alert if someone maybe in the shop after hours.
    Can also have it so it records all the time so if someone comes into the shop and causes issue you have it in video as well.
    It looks like you had video for the shop, but with motion detection, it would give you a heads up.

    I think we need to go back to effective punishments. The first time someone is caught stealing, they get their left hand chopped off. The second time they lose their right third time, they lose their head. It might sound brutal, but it was effective in the past and would still be today.

    I sympathise with you, we were robbed in February and it is the worst feeling. We were able to watch the crook take our prized possessions and dump them in his stolen Ute before leaving. The police were polite but only because we had video that would help them to convince a judge to issue a warrant. Luckily they caught him and the insurance has paid out but it will take time to take the feeling away. I wish you a speedy recovery! Great video also, thanks.
