Seasonal promotions can be a fantastic way for your Texas restaurant or retail store to draw in new customers, keep loyal patrons excited, and create a buzz in the community.

Whether you're rolling out a festive holiday menu, hosting a summer sidewalk sale, or throwing a back-to-school shopping event, these special occasions can be a revenue booster. But along with the fun and sales, they can also bring extra risks for your business if you're not prepared.

If you're like most business owners, you carry Commercial Property Insurance because it protects your physical assets like your building, furniture, and inventory from things like fire, theft, or natural disasters. But what happens when a vital piece of equipment suddenly fails because of internal issues, like a power surge, mechanical failure, or operator error?

Retail theft is a growing issue for small business owners, both for large retailers and mom-and-pop stores. Whether it's shoplifting, employee theft, or organized retail crime, merchandise losses eat directly into a company's profits and make it harder to stay afloat.

The good news is that if you're a retail owner, there are smart, affordable ways to reduce theft, beef up your security, and create a safer retail environment for your customers and employees.

In Texas, the summer heat is brutal for most people, but it can be absolutely dangerous for people working in or near the heat. For example, your business might have employees working in hot kitchens, outside on loading docks, or fulfilling customer curbside orders.

For small business owners, failing to prepare for heat-related risks puts your workers in danger, and can lead to a business liability. If one of your employees suffers heat exhaustion or a heat-related injury on the job, the financial fallout could be serious, unless you have proper Workers' Compensation coverage.
