merkal2005: Hi Joe, please tell us about yourself.

hewey1969: I am 38 years old, and I live in North Carolina, in the US. I have worked in retail loss prevention for a little over 12 years, now. For the past 4 years, I have worked as a district loss prevention manager for a major retailer in the United States.


merkal2005: How did you discover blogging? Do you post on daily basis?

hewey1969: At first, blogging was just a hobbie for me, but I became addicted, so I thought I'd start to try to write about things that I learned along the way in my career to try to help others.


merkal2005: Are you a professional writer? Do you like writing in general?

hewey1969: I'm not a professional writer, but I love to write about things that interest me.


merkal2005: In your blogs you give good advices to retailers. Where should retailers focus in 2008?

hewey1969: Customer service is key. The competition will be fierce since consumers will be less open with their wallets. The retailers who get customer service right will come out on top.


merkal2005: What are your 2008 goals?

hewey1969: My goals are to build some relationships, both online and off, with loss prevention and retailers so that we, together can help fight the growing trend of retail theft.
Secondly, I'd love to see my blog hit 1000 readers, but that could be a stretch, since loss prevention is not really a popular area for readers. But hey, it could happen, I suppose.
