When Crime Comes to Small Town USA an Entrepeneur Responds
By Greg Jones on 2009-08-28 16:31:54
Web entrepreneur Patsy Nicholson's home town of Rapid City, Iowa, had never been the kind of town one would associate with the phrase "crime wave." But perhaps spurred in part by the recent economic downturn, a wave of muggings had begun to shake up the small town sense of security. Nicholson realized that she had an opportunity to step in and help her fellow citizens, and create a new business at the same time. Her site www.SecurelyWrapped.com is targeted specifically at the personal protection market. The site offers products for self defense, child safety, and home security. In response to the recent crime spree, Nicholson has developed a blog, www.StaySafeChatter.com, that offers free and easy-to-implement tips on personal safety and security. Both her business and her blog are proof that entrepenurial opportunities abound when someone is attuned to the needs of a community and ready to develop creative solutions that meet those needs.
