‘’#BuyDonegal provides a fantastic platform for Donegal businesses to highlight their genuine craft, innovation and appeal. Last year we saw a huge response from both businesses and the public in collectively promoting enterprise in the county. 2021 will provide an opportunity to build on the success of the inaugural campaign and generate even greater interest in #BuyDonegal’’ outlined Cllr Jack Murray, Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council.
#BuyDonegal offers consumers a great opportunity to buy their special Donegal gift in time for Christmas while also supporting the local economy. It supports a range of enterprise such as food and drink producers, designers and makers, tourism providers and retailers. It will be supported with an extensive online marketing campaign including a dedicated
buydonegal.com website where consumers can go to find out more about the wonderful products and services on offer from Donegal. Log on now to find out some of the great businesses involved and start your shopping list in advance of its November start.
Garry Martin, Director of Economic Development and Information Systems at Donegal County Council added ‘over 250 businesses got behind #BuyDonegal in 2020 and it provided a great boost to the Donegal business community. The positive message it delivered, not just to the people of Donegal and our Diaspora, but internationally was fantastic.’’
