5 Reasons To Buy a Paper Shredder
As an individual, you may wonder if you actually need to purchase
a paper shredder for your own personal use.
The answer is, quite simply, YES. Today's world is rife with
identity theft, credit card theft and other fraudulent
activities. Now is the time to investin your privacy and security.
There are many reasons to buy a paper shredder,
here are just 5:
1)Identity Theft: Almost 9 million people per year have their
identities stolen in the US alone, with over 50 billion
dollars stolen per year. This epidemic crime can be curbed dramatically
by removing the physical documentation
the thieves use to get their information, and shredding has
been proven to be the best way to do this.
2)Credit Card Theft: Credit card numbers and even passwords
can be taken from documents in the trash. Even
papers torn by hand can be easily put back together. Many thieves
and drug addicts frequent personal and
business trash cans and dumpsters to find this kind of information.
Shredding helps ensure that this won't
happen to you.
3)New Laws: A provision to the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions
Act (FACTA), requires destruction of any
confidential employee information, even if you only have one
employee such as a nanny or a handy man. You can
open yourself up to lawsuits or even prosecution if you do not
comply with these new privacy laws.
4)Recycling: Our environment is certainly a timely concern.
But did you know that shredding actually facilitates
recycling? As a matter of fact, you can actually be paid modestly
by recycling companies for contributing to save
the environment.
5)Peace of Mind: With so many risks involved in not destroying
sensitive documents, buying a personal
shredder is an easy call to make to give you assurance that
your identity, privacy and money are secure.
It's a trend for a reason, and that's because shredding works
to help bring protection and security to the
things most important to you.
A household or office shredder is becoming as necessary as
a dishwasher or refrigerator in terms of household
appliances. Nothing is more important in today's age of identity
theft and fraud, than protecting your identity and
investment. The question is not really if you should purchase
a shredder, but when.
Shredders are available in a variety of price ranges, with
a variety of functions, including large and small capacities,
space saving units, straight orthe safer, cross-shredding system
and even several lines of shredders that keep
style in mind. It's definitely not a "one-size-fits-all"
industry, but one that conforms to the needs of consumers.
The market for shredders, including commercial and personal
shredders tops $350 million a year, and growing.
As the need for protection grows, so does this upward-moving
industry. As a matter of fact, shredders are the
fastest growing segment in the overall office products industry.
From individuals to multi-national corporations,
there are shredders to meet the needs of anyone seeking financial
security. So find the right shredder for your
needs and bring it to your home or office. It's by far the best
way to protect yourself and your family from the real
dangers of theft and fraud.
