Are you gearing up for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales? This year, please keep a bit of that festive spirit close to home and support your local Irish small and family businesses?
When you spend with a small or family-run business, your money stays right here in the community — helping to pay local wages, sponsor our local team or school raffle, and keeping our towns and villages thriving.
Every euro spent locally is an investment in the people and places that make Ireland such a special place to live. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Here are a few easy ways to support Irish small businesses this season:
- Shop local first – check your local main street before the big online giants.
- Spread the word – leave a glowing review or tell a friend.
- Be sound – patience and kindness go a long way during the busy rush.
Let’s make this holiday season a celebration of community, connection, and conscious Irish shopping. Nà neart go cur le chéile – there’s strength in unity.
