Fund for Covid-19 hit businesses

-

WICKLOW award-winning ad agency In Good Company has announced a €250,000 fund as part of its #TogetherWe­Stand campaign to help small Irish businesses hit by the fallout of the Covid-19 crisis to sell online.

One hundred Irish businesses will be given a tailored digital marketing package worth €2,500 each.

Each successful applicant will receive an initial strategy call from one of In Good Company’s digital marketing specialist­s. The purpose of this call is to advise you on how best your business can leverage the €2,500 #TogetherWe­Stand package to start selling successful­ly online within 30 days.

In Good Company managing director Josh McKenna said: ‘small businesses are hurting right now, and understand­ably so, but we wanted to come up with a way to help. We want to stand with small businesses and not just help them survive, but actually flourish, maybe more than they had before.’

In addition, each successful business will receive a €1,000 voucher towards the design and build out of a bespoke ecommerce website, a 15-second elevator video pitch which will help to tell your story, a one-month social media marketing plan, including profession­ally designed content, and help with the setup and management of your online advertisin­g.

Businesses who are currently in the process of applying to their Local Enterprise Office for the Trading Online voucher or grant can also apply to the #TogetherWe­Stand fund. The fund will be open to small businesses on a first-come, first-served basis. If you wish to apply you can do so via the www.togetherwe­stand.ie website.
