Importance of Managing Your Inventory

There are many responsibilities that come with running a store including making sure that your inventory is always up to date. There are a variety of events that can negatively impact your inventory, which can cut into your margins or even cause your business to go under. Properly managing your inventory can help to ensure that your business continues running as smooth as possible.

Inventory controls and costs can be the difference between large profits or having to close your business. While there are some threats to your inventory that you cannot control, such as a fire, there are some threats that are more controllable, such as theft. Having the right security protection can help to ensure that your inventory stays safe.

It is important to keep in mind that theft can come from different places, from both customers and employees. Even if you spend all of your resources preventing customer theft, you may still see issues with your inventory. While training your employees to stop and deter theft, it may not be enough to completely protect your inventory. Make sure that you also consider the threat of employee theft that can greatly impact you.

Another threat to your inventory is overstocking. While you want to make sure that all of your customers have access to your most popular items, overstocking can cause a surplus of inventory, which leads to wasted money.

Having the right business insurance policy is the best way to ensure that your business is protected from any unfortunate situation.

We will work with you to ensure that you have the most comprehensive coverage for your specific business at the right price to fit your budget.

8 Thanksgiving Safety Tips For A Disaster-Free Holiday!

Thanksgiving is one of the most common days of the year for house fires! Deep-frying a turkey may sound like a good idea, but only if you are aware of the Thanksgiving safety guidelines! Here are a few recommendations to keep in mind in case you have forgotten:

  • Never leave your food unattended while it is still cooking on the stove!
  • Be sure to check on your turkey constantly while it is cooking. This is true regardless of whether you are baking, or deep-frying!
  • Do your best to keep your children out of the kitchen while you are cooking. Purchase them a coloring book, a puzzle, or put on a movie to encourage them to stay in other areas of your home.
  • Clear the floor of your kitchen before you begin to prep for your long day of cooking. Tripping over a toy could be the one thing to ruin your perfect holiday!
  • Make sure your children are not in reach of knives or any other sharp objects.
  • When you are using an electric knife to cut your turkey, you will want to make sure that your guests are aware of the cord. It can be a huge tripping hazard.
  • Be sure to check the batteries in each of your smoke detectors before turning on the oven or stove!
  • Wear clothing that fits a little tighter while you are cooking. Baggy sleeves could potentially catch on fire while you are leaning over the stove.

Please have a safe and happy Thanksgiving! If you have insurance inquires, please give the agents at All Nevada Insurance a call! We are located in Los Vegas, but can fulfill your real estate needs in California, Arizona, Utah, and New York! Let us assist you, today!

2 Turkey Day Favorites To Create In The Kitchen This Thanksgiving!

We have made it past Halloween, and it is now time to prepare for Thanksgiving! This can be an incredibly busy time as you attempt to make travel arrangements for your family, keep the kids entertained while they are out of school, and try to create the perfect Thanksgiving menu! If you are having trouble coming up with a few great sides, or simply want to mx it up this year, we have provided a few delicious recipes that you and your family are sure to love! Try one of these terrific Turkey Day favorites!

  1. What would Thanksgiving be without a delicious cranberry sauce! You will need to mix together 2 cups of sugar, and ¾ of water in a pan until they are blended well. Bring the mixture to a boil after you have added 4 cups of fresh, organic cranberries. Leave the mixture on the heat for a period of 8 to 10 minutes, or until you begin to note the cranberries splitting! Take them off of the heat, and let them cool. Once they are back down to room temperature, throw the mixture into a food processor! You want the consistency to be somewhat pureed. Next, you will add in ¼ of orange liqueur, and chill before serving! It’s that easy!
  2. Serve a somewhat different dish this holiday, and make wild rice with mushrooms! You will need to purchase 2 packages of long-grain wild rice mix, and prepare them as the directions on the package instruct. While the rice is cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, and mix in 1-diced onion, and continue to sauté for 7 minutes. Next, you will add in 12 ounces of sliced mushrooms, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Heat this mixture for 5 minutes, and then add ½ of Marsala. Continue to cook for 3 more minutes until all of the liquid has been taken up. Stir this mixture in with the wild rice, and serve while hot!

The insurance professionals at All Nevada Insurance would like to wish you and your family the happiest of Thanksgivings! We are so thankful for our clients, and their business. Please contact us with any and all insurance inquiries you may have.

Ebola & Its Possible Effect On Insurance!

If you frequently check any world news, or social media websites, your feed has likely been crowded with posts and articles about Ebola. Ebola is a deadly and contagious virus that has begun to spread across the world due to an outbreak in Liberia. One effect of Ebola that few have chosen to focus on is its effect on insurance!

A few treatment centers across the U.S. have been threatened with Ebola already. These locations include Dallas, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Patients are contagious after they begin to show symptoms, which increase the worry for a nation-wide, epidemic. The man who was treated in Dallas lacked health insurance. However, he was still treated to ensure the virus did not continue to spread in America. His medical bills totaled 500,000 after his death earlier this month. It is issues like these that raise concern for what will happen to the health insurance industry if Ebola continues to pose a threat to our country.

The Insurance Information Institute has recently issued a statement regarding the potential insurance problems that could be caused by an Ebola outbreak. Currently, many of the individuals sick with Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea do not have any form of health insurance. With this being said, there has been very little affect over the global economy thus far. On the other hand, almost 33% of Americans have life insurance. If tens of thousands of Americans become hospitalized due to Ebola, insurers could take a very hard hit. Almost every aspect of insurance could be affected by an Ebola epidemic.

If you are a car lover, you probably enjoy showing your car off during all months of the year. For those who live in areas that experience colder temperatures, this can be a bit of a problem!

Fool-Proof Fire Prevention Tips!

When you buy a home, you are making one of the biggest investments of your life. There are many threats to your home that can never really be controlled. A few examples are natural disasters like floods, mudslides, and forest fires. However, you can control the way you prepare for these occurrences! Better preparation means less panic, and stress. Here are a few recommendations to ensure you and your family would be ready to handle a fire in your home:

  • Have a discussion with your family to make sure that all members are aware of how to get out of the house. They should know how to open all the windows quickly, and be aware of your designated meeting spot. The meeting spot is a safe area where you and your family members would reconvene after escaping a fire.
  • Install smoke detectors in every room of your home, and make sure that the batteries are working properly. You should also do monthly battery checks.
  • Place fire extinguishers throughout your home, and ensure that everyone knows where to find them. Teach your children how to remove the pin, and expel the fire retardant.
  • Consider installing a central alarm system that will alert you of fires, break-ins, and more.
  • Make sure that you have the right form of insurance, and that you are covered for an amount that is appropriate for the home you are living in. If you have too much coverage, you are wasting money on your insurance expenses each month. If you have too little of coverage, you are exposing yourself to dangerous financial risks that you should do your best to steer clear of.

Homeowners Insurance and HOAs

Homeowners associations, or HOAs, are not only for condos and apartments. Many single-family homes are also part of a HOA. Living in a house with an HOA comes with many perks, such as knowing that your yard and the community pool will always be well maintained. If you live in a home with an HOA, it’s important to know how to handle your homeowners insurance policy.

When you join an HOA, make sure that you know exactly what their Master policy covers. If you live in a detached home that is part of an HOA, their insurance policy will most likely cover all of the community amenities, such as gates and any recreational facilities. It’s also important to make sure that you know how much coverage the Master policy provides.

Even though you’re part of an HOA it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to purchase your own homeowners insurance policy. Just as if you weren’t part of an HOA, you would still need to invest in a policy that would provide enough coverage for all of your assets if they were destroyed or damaged. It’s important to make sure that your individual policy provides enough coverage so that there’s no gap between the HOA policy and your policy.

It’s even more important to make sure that your individual homeowners insurance policy has enough liability coverage when you’re part of an HOA. Since homes in an HOA are typically closer together, a fire or water leak that starts at your home can easily spread and cause serious damage to other homes.

Contact the insurance professionals at All Nevada Insurance in Las Vegas for all of your homeowners insurance needs. We will work with you and your HOA to ensure you have the right amount of coverage for your specific situation.
