Enniscorthy has everything you could require in the run up to Christmas
THE importance of shopping local is something that is regularly brought up at meetings involving those within the commercial sector across County Wexford.
However, notwithstanding the importance of supporting local businesses the fact is that towns like Enniscorthy have everything you could require in the run up to Christmas.
The range of items available to buy in Enniscorthy is vast and in the run-up to Christmas many local businesses will be implementing special offers and great deals on a wide range of goods and services.
The benefits of shopping locally this Christmas are twofold. On the one hand it means local businesses are being supported by local people but secondly it also means people within the locality are getting great value-for-money and top quality products and services.
Christmas is about families and friends getting together and socialising and mingling in a relaxed and informal manner.
There is a buzz about meeting people on the streets at Christmas that is unlike any other time of the year.
The consumer industry estimates that for every €10 spent locally on Irish products and produce around €24 is generated for the local economy.
Enniscorthy has a very wide range of stores offering an even bigger range of products that will tick all of the boxes required for that ideal Christmas gift.
The other beneficial thing about shopping in Enniscorthy is that the store owners and their staff don’t have the same distant approach that many of the large retail chains in large cities have.
There is a warmth and homely feel to local shops here that isn’t replicated anywhere else in the country so why not take advantage of that.
In shopping local you aren’t just helping your local economy but you are also benefiting from a shopping experience that can’t be measures in monetary terms.
With that in mind this Christmas why not make it one of your priorities to shop locally and in doing so you will know you are supporting local people and that’s one of the best Christmas gifts you can give.
