Vandalism
Taryn Pistorius
About & Audience
I made this presentation because I want my audience to understand the
effects that vandalism has on several things around us, but more specifically
businesses and companies.

My audience is aimed toward teenagers. However, it can also be aimed


toward parents so they can teach their kids about the information I will be
explaining.
The Big Impact
According to the US Small Businesses Administration, a single incident of vandalism
on average costs about $3,370. That’s A LOT!

Vandalism can cause:

● Fear to customers
● Business relocation (Hazard, 3)
● Workplace turnover
● Business reputation ruined (Raines, 1)
● Unhappy customers
● Loss of thousands of dollars
● Business interruption
● An unsafe atmosphere (Cruz, 1)
Reputation
According to Maggie Gnadt, who works for a reputation management website, It
costs up to as much as 537 billion dollars to help unhappy customers.

● Customer reviews can make or break a positive reputation


● It takes 10-12 customer reviews to offset a bad one
● 80 % of people won’t buy from somewhere with bad reviews
Stay Cautious
According to Business Journal news network, some graffiti may have been approved
by the owner so the vandals have been given permission.

It’s important to:

● Assess its recognized stature


● Report any type of business vandalism you see
● Find out if it’s illegal street art
