[Chicago Craft Mafia]

Hi fellow crafters! This came through on today's Help A Reporter Out
(www.helpareporter.com/). If you have some good tips to share, please
feel free to email the reporter directly at the email listed below.
Hope to see some of you in the magazine!



Summary: Deterring Theft at Craft Shows

Name: Patrice Lewis (The Crafts Report Magazine)
Category: Business and Finance

Email: quer...@helpareporter.com

Media Outlet: The Crafts Report Magazine

Deadline: 07:00 PM EST - 13 January

Query:

Are you a crafter? Do you do craft shows? I would like to know
what techniques you use to deter theft. As the economy becomes
more challenging, some visitors may not have the money to buy one
of your creations, so they decide to swipe it instead. How to
you reduce the frequency of these incidents? Perhaps your
merchandise is tied down or behind glass. Perhaps you have an
eagle-eyed assistant to watch browsers. Perhaps you have a
security device attached to your products. Whatever it is you
use, please let me know. Please do NOT reply by saying, "I have
all kinds of info - contact me." Instead, feel free to write at
length with your story and advice. Be sure to include your
business name and website so I can give credit where credit is
due. Please put "HARO – Deterring Theft" in the subject
line. I've always received excellent responses through HARO, and
thank everyone in advance for their assistance.



Happy crafting!
