From Thanksgiving to New Year’s: How Businesses Stay Secure During the Busiest Season

The holiday season brings excitement, celebration, and a sharp increase in activity for businesses of all kinds. From bustling retail stores to office parties and end-of-year events, the period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s are the busiest, and often the riskiest, time of the year.


While sales and foot traffic soar, so do the threats. Theft, vandalism, package loss, and crowd-related incidents all tend to rise sharply during the holidays, making professional security not just helpful, but essential.

This season, let Security USA support you. Whether you're a retail store preparing for holiday crowds or a corporate office managing closures and increased deliveries, our team is here to keep your people and property protected.

1. Retail Stores: Preventing Theft and Maintaining a Welcoming Atmosphere

Shoppers are out in full force, and unfortunately, so are opportunistic thieves. Having visible, trained security officers on-site not only deters theft but also reassures both customers and staff.
Security USA officers are equipped to handle busy retail settings:

  • Monitoring entrances and high-traffic areas
  • Assisting with crowd management
  • Responding quickly to suspicious behavior
  • Providing a safety presence that reassures both staff and customers

 

2. Corporate Offices and Buildings: Peace of Mind During Extended Closures

Many offices close for several days or weeks at the end of the year. Empty buildings can become targets for trespassing or property damage.

Security USA supports corporate buildings throughout the season with:

  • Unarmed security guards for lobbies, access control, and visitor management
  • Mobile patrol services for regular site checks
  • Holiday patrols to verify doors, alarms, and perimeter security
  • Real-time reporting to keep management informed

With online shopping at an all-time high, package volume surges during the holidays. More deliveries mean more opportunities for theft. Our security officers help monitor incoming packages, manage access points, and ensure that tenants’ property stays protected.

 

3. Events and Gatherings: Safety Behind the Celebrations

Holiday events are meant to bring people together, but they also require planning and oversight.

Our trained security officers provide:

  • Access control and guest screening
  • Crowd flow management
  • Emergency coordination and incident response

Whether it’s a holiday market, corporate party, or seasonal celebration, Security USA ensures your event stays enjoyable and safe.

4. Customized Protection for Every Business

No two businesses share the same risks. That’s why we begin every engagement with a customized plan that aligns with each site’s layout, operations, and traffic patterns. Whether you need 24-hour guards, concierge personnel, or overnight patrols, Security USA tailors coverage to match your seasonal needs, so your business can thrive without compromise.
