The importance of shopping locally in Enniscorth­y this Christmas!

-

HOW many times in recent years have you been disappoint­ed to hear about the closure of a locally owned store in an Irish city, town or village and wondered if there was anything that could have been done to prevent it? The good news is that there is! Just continue to shop with your local businesses and support them!!

Local business owners as well as shoppers have good reason to support other local businesses, both personally and profession­ally. They spend their money locally, using local services, such as accountant­s, solicitors, and insurance brokers. They also employ local people and source many of their products from local suppliers.

Every €10 spent locally on Irish products generates €24 of benefit to the local community.

This Christmas make a special effort to support your local stores for all your Gift Ideas. Enniscorth­y has a multitude of fantastic stores that will cater for all your gift requiremen­ts.

Apart from directly helping to keep your local businesses in business, your local town unique and your local economy afloat, there are many, more reasons to shop in your local businesses. These include:

- building a personal relationsh­ip with the local store and its owner and employees

- receiving better, more personalis­ed customer service from people who know your name and your personal tastes and interests as well as accessing a greater variety of quirky, one-off gifts.

Above all shopping local will help maintain the community you live in while supporting thousands of local jobs. This Christmas make sure you Shop Local In Enniscorth­y !
