“Our local businesses are the heartbeat of our community. Shop local, and not only will you discover one-of-a-kind, top-quality gifts, but you’ll also be investing in the prosperity of our towns and villages.” That was the message of Louth County Council Cathaoirleach, Paula Butterly, today.
The Louth Local Enterprise Office is getting into the Christmas spirit and is urging local people to “Look for Local, Look for Louth.” Their message is a simple one – make a difference this year by shopping in Louth’s many charming towns and villages.
“Let’s all make it a Look for Local Christmas, by looking for Louth when shopping.”
Sarah Mallon from Local Enterprise Office Louth says: “Every local purchase directly impacts our community’s economic health. It sustains jobs, encourages new businesses to start-up, and adds to the overall vibrancy of Louth.
“This Christmas, let’s give our local businesses our support, both in-store and online, and celebrate the personal touch they bring to our shopping experiences.”
When you shop locally, you’re not just getting a product; you’re investing in the passion, expertise, and personalised service that local business owners provide. And this holds true throughout the towns and villages in Louth.
Sarah Mallon adds a savvy online shopping tip: “When going digital, add in the word ‘Louth’ or the name of your local town or village into your online search. This helps you find out if your desired gift is available locally, before ordering it from abroad. Once you’ve located the perfect gift, you can either purchase in store or order online.”
“At the Local Enterprise Office Louth, we’re all about supporting the growth of small businesses. That’s why we encourage everyone to visit www.localenterprise.ie/Louth to kickstart their Christmas shopping.
Explore a vast selection of local shops, gifts, crafts, home and garden, food, fashion, and more, all right on your doorstep. If you’d like to see your business on our webpage, email your company name, web address and the category your business belongs in to tradingonline@leo.louthcoco.ie. We’re proud to host the Look for Local, Look for Louth campaign, reminding locals that thoughtful shopping choices can make a positive impact on our community, both at Christmas and throughout the year.”
