Hi everyone
I am butting into this weeks samples to bring you some news!
We thought with it being Friday 13th you could do with something to cheer you up
so this weekend is
FREE POSTAGE WEEKEND
From 6pm on Thursday (12th) until 9am on Monday (16th) it's
free postage on all UK orders
all destinations outside the UK it's free postage on orders over £30.
Enjoy!
On a not quite so happy note I am hugely saddened and more than a little
angry to have to share with you that we have had a problem with theft in
the shop for some time now. In the week before the Extravaganza we had
several thousand £'s worth of products stolen and since the introduction
of the new stock control system we know that it is a signifincant amount each week - yet again today we have discovered evidence of more
theft. This is unsustainable and we are determined to stop it.
The
reason I am sharing this is that I want the people
responsible to know that we are having CCTV fitted this week throughout
the shop and we have a policy of zero tolerance of theft.
The cameras we are installing have court quality images so can be used
for prosecution. We are not going to rest until we catch the people who
are doing this. It goes without saying anyone caught will also have an
immediate and permanent ban from our store.
On a brighter note there are loads of new products in store again and the September classes are now released. Click here to pop to the website and check it all out!
see you soon

What a shame to hear this...it's no wonder so many small shops end up having to cease trading when this is happening.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the CCTV is effective....sad though it is to be forced to use it.
I know I shouldn't be surprised about this these days but I can't believe that people do this. Or I don't want to believe that people do this. I hope they are put off by the CCTV cameras or, if they do decide to carry on, that the cameras catch them at it and you are able to prosecute.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the free postage this weekend :)
Good luck with the cameras. Hope you catch the blighters.!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so disheartening to hear that there are less than honest crafters out there. I fully support your action to install cameras and hope that they will help to catch the culprits or better still to deter them. BJ
ReplyDeleteWhat a great offer..no postage...better get the credit out and dusted...and too the stealing...it stinks!..our local craft shop here in NZ has been suffering the same...but due to good luck they caught the pilferer..hope it all works out good for you..

How could anyone make something lovely if you stole the 'makings of it?' Unbelievable. Good luck with catching the thief, theft SUCKS especially from an independent store. Have you checked out Ebay in case it's being sold on there? There can't be that many avenues for getting rid of it
ReplyDeleteTerrible news! I hope you catch the thieves soon. Thanks for the the weekend postage :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so disheartening to hear things like this and it also makes me really angry. If you can't afford it you don't get it, get a job!! I hope you catch them, that is quite a huge amount of stock you are loosing! Good luck x
ReplyDeleteGood luck, I hope you catch them and that they don't get away with a warning only. I'm shocked it's so much.
ReplyDeleteFab news about the free P&P.
ReplyDeleteDREADFUL news about the theft situation and the scale of it is astonishing. GOOD LUCK with catching the perpetrators - I say they should be prosecuted AND made to pay you back every penny.

ooh people are soooo mean! Its good you have the cameras and I hope you catch them - I can't believe you are losing so much stock. Let us know if it works. xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the thefts. All genuine crafters are the most generous people and will gladly share with others so these horrible people must just be taking stuff to sell on. Hope they get caught soon. Thanks for the free P&P weekend - that's what I mean about generous!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have warned anybody... more chance to catch these responsible for the theft..
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, we appreciate your support.
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree with Anna. How can you enjoy the results of what you have made knowing you have stolen it - it all starts from the wrong place for good feelings doesn't it.

I was deeply saddened to read my newsletter yesterday morning (13th) I am so sorry you have sufered at the hands of these thieves. It angers me because money is tight & when people go doing these things it makes it more expensive for those of us who genuinely purchase our products.
