Ennis Chamber Shop Local Initiative

We love Ennis Chamber's Shop Local Initiative and this video produced by local retailers!

Ennis Chamber and Ennis Development Forum have brought the business community together to launch a Shop Local Campaign for Ennis. The Campaign will see a promotional video of Santa In Ennis, filmed this week, spread through the world of Social Media. Businesses involved in the initiative have donated over €8,000 to the project including thousands of euros worth of giveaways to customers. The prizes will be distributed through another part of the initiative - the Ennis Street Radio which will play Christmas and upbeat music on the streets of Ennis for a full week before Christmas. The project is also part funded by Ennis Town Council in a partnership with the businesses. By working together, the business community and Ennis Town Council believe by giving back to the customers, they will be enticed to Shop Local this Christmas in order to protect and grow local jobs.

The Shop Local campaign coincides with Ennis Town Council’s announcement earlier this week of a parking incentive scheme in a bid to promote Christmas and New Year shopping in Ennis Town. Free parking will be applicable to the town’s 759 off-street and 783 on-street public car parking spaces up to 12pm daily from this Saturday, 3rd December 2011, to 7th January, 2012 inclusive.
