A Staggering £4,840 Million Just

From Retailers Last Year Alone

That's right nearly FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLION POUNDS is vanishing from major retailers annually. Shockingly, after a series of in-depth interviews most retailers admitted not only are they are not sure how to plug those holes but even worse have no idea where the losses vanish to.

What Can You Offer To PROTECT  These Organisations

Retail Fraud Survey 2011 – 2012 ... Six months in the making!

• Most retailers are experiencing theft without even knowing where!
• Most retailers are losing stock without being aware!
• Most retailers are losing huge profits they can't afford to lose!

Ignoring these findings will cost dearly - Not only will they mean loss of profits, loss of jobs and at the worst - enforced liquidation and even bankruptcy for retailers but it means a loss of opportunity for you!

Here at Retail Fraud HQ, we spent 6 months conducting, in-depth, in-detail, no-holds barred interviews  with 100 of the UK's biggest, best, most prominent retailers. These represent around 47,000 retail shops that generate £99 Billion in sales annually.

We quizzed them on

• The hard truth and realities of retail theft
• The shocking reality of daily retail fraud
• The unspoken facts about hidden, massive retail losses
• The security or lack of security issues and the huge holes that are almost ignored

What we uncovered WILL SHOCK YOU! It will also open your eyes to opportunity!

After all, the 'vanishing' of £4,840 Million from the pockets of the retail industry is a hard to digest figure don't you agree?

Look at this!

• Ignored: Massive shrinkage resulting in loss
• Ignored: Blatant gaps in retail security
• Ignored: Loss prevention being almost ignored
• Ignored: Shoplifting rampant and out-of-control
• Ignored: Employee theft out-of-control
• Ignored: Almost non existent or ineffective stock controls

Dear Sir,

I make no apology for the shocking introduction to what can only be described as a report packed with so many revelations that could provoke you into transforming areas of retail industry and almost eliminate retail fraud and loss within retail!

The losses are just outrageous!

£4,840,000,000 (That is Thousand - Million lost) or £1,326,027.40 daily just vanishes into fresh air in the retail business. I'm writing to ask you; do you have the solution they are searching for?

And you should understand up-front; This report affects YOU and YOUR business. This report also gives you direct contact of all of those in the know in retail, the decision makers on the top floor. Names, numbers, email and mailing addresses. It's those that take early action from the report that will benefit the most - That could be you!

Martec International: Here at Retail Knowledge in conjunction with global leader Martec International, we spent over 6 months everyday, every week, hour after hour in deep interviews with 100 of the biggest brands in retail today.

What we put together is the very first and only true retail fraud and loss prevention survey that has spoken to those in the know, behind-the scenes on the front-lines of the retail industry, those that really understand what is going on inside their retail world. And just to really emphasise; we spoke to the decision makers, those at the top, those holding the cheque books!

So while other surveys make wild estimates and guesses at problem within the retail industry, the Retail Fraud Survey goes much more to the heart of the problems of theft and fraud than any other survey before it. Some have named this rightly named The Retail Fraud Survey ...

The Ultimate Retail Fraud 'Bible'

It carefully reveals the total cost of retail crime in the UK last year (including losses from customers, staff and suppliers, plus the costs associated with security) reached a staggering £4,840 Million.

Not only does the report confirm some of what you may already know - that daily fraud and on-going retail loss prevention is a massive problem for your clients, but this report gives you detail by detail, retailer by retailer, retail sector by retail sector what the exact problems and needs of those potential customers are. This gives you a golden opportunity to see your own performance and satisfaction with you.

We believe this is probably the most valuable tool ever delivered for the retail community, almost like a 'Bible' for retail fraud prevention.

Why The 'Bible' for Retail Fraud?

There is ... NO guesswork. NO predictions. NO hoping our facts are close to the truth.

For the first time ever we approached hundreds of major UK retailers. 100 (as you can see in the list below) took part. We rang them, wrote to them, emailed them and spoke to them on the telephone. We even took the time, and huge expense of sending an expert team from retailer to retailer.

As far as we are aware at the time of writing this, no single organisation has ever undertaken a seemingly insurmountable task like this before, certainly not 100 of them. We discovered and revealed their issues, their challenges and the facts behind retail fraud in 2011!

Those results have been carefully and masterfully complied into the Retail Fraud Survey!

Q: What format is the report in?

A: The report is supplied in hard copy format, and then once you have told us that you aren’t going to return the report we send you a full electronic soft copy also, this will allow you to easily include charts, text and data from the report in your own presentations.

Q: Why should I order this today, can't I wait until some of the information gets out?

In fact we will be offering the report to a large number of solution providers just like you. Our experience shows that those that get the report, take action and follow-up get the business. If you want to beat your competition to the big contracts you need to grab the report today!

The Survey Includes: Two-hundred pages of individual company profiles revealed in microscopic detail loss prevention hardware and software deployed in stores and online, along with implementation dates and projected replacement dates.

You can see which vendor solutions are being used at a particular retailer and which applications were developed in-house. Review a chain’s total number of stores, store openings planned in the next three years and number of tills (traditional versus self-checkout).

Plus: To give you a bigger picture, profiles quantify (as a percentage of total sales) each company’s overall shrink losses, store fraud loss prevention costs, online loss prevention spend and losses due to fraudulent returns.

All verticals are covered: food and drug, small and large format, mass and department stores, home shopping, discount and hospitality. Data is up-to-the-minute with no stone left unturned,  gathered in the first quarter 2011, verified directly with the retailers featured, such as Marks & Spencer, Boots, Homebase, The Body Shop, McDonald’s, New Look, 99P Stores, Superquinn and many, many more. Participating retailers represent £98.7 billion in annual sales, or 34% of the total UK retail sector.

Information outlined in the Retail Fraud Study will help you devise solutions that meet a retailer’s unique challenges, casting you in a far more favourable light than ill-informed vendors whose sole intent is to “sell, sell, sell.” Retailers are weary of poorly prepared sales presentations.

"One of the biggest pitfalls is when a vendor doesn't take the time to understand us as a client and makes too many assumptions based on prior deals or other retailers," said a loss prevention director in recent trade press interview.
