Types of exposure that gift and novelty stores need protection from:

Property exposure

  • Fire: Since you are probably selling things made of inexpensive paper or fabric and plastic goods, you are susceptible to fire, smoke, and water damage. Only use licensed and insured electricians and HVAC techs to work on your system's wiring.
  • Shoplifting and theft: Install a monitored security system and a video camera system to discourage shoplifters. Install physical barriers to prevent unauthorized entry after hours.
  • Glass breakage: Many collectibles and souvenirs are made of glass, ceramic, or pottery, which are easily broken. Keep expensive items locked in a see-through cabinet.

Crime exposures

The simplest thing you can do is to do an employee background check before hiring someone new. Use a different employee for each of the following roles: deposits, disbursements, and bank reconciliation. Several times a day collect cash from drawers and move it to your safe. Finally, make daily night deposits so that cash doesn't sit overnight on your premises.

Workers compensation exposures

  • Improper lifting techniques cause back and hernia problems.
  • Make sure that all items are accessible on shelves so that employees don't pull products down onto themselves and get hurt.
  • Teach and reward good housekeeping habits in your aisles and warehouse.
  • Teach your employees how to respond during hold ups and shoplifting incidents so no one gets hurt.

Business interruption

Business interruption is a concern since sales may peak at particular times during the year.

Premises liability exposure

Many slips, trips, and falls could be prevented simply by keeping your floor coverings and sidewalks in good condition.

Here are a few more suggestions:

  • Keep sidewalks clear of ice and snow.
  • Are emergency and exit lights functioning?
  • Do you have sufficient exterior lighting at night to keep your shoppers safe?
  • Do you have a protocol for apprehending and detaining shoplifters?

Inland marine exposures include

  • Accounts receivable if you provide credit
  • Computers to keep track of all sales transactions as well as monitor your inventory
  • Valuable papers and records: Keep copies of all customer and vendor records and computer files off-site.

Products liability exposure

Talk to your insurance agent if you are directly importing items for sale in your souvenir shop.

Automobile exposure

Talk to your agent if your employees are running errands with your company vehicles.
