Shop Window for local companies
06.11.09
|
TWO Inishowen companies are part of an
innovative new scheme to help them promote their
businesses using vacant shop windows. The novel
Shop Window project was launched last weekend to
help Donegal businesses. Aisling Collins and
Godfrey Dawson of Infocus, based at Kilderry
Business Park, Muff and Shane Houston of
Chic-Hens, Burt, are among the first exhibitors
in the ShopWindow.ie initiative. The project is
coordinated by Donegal County Enterprise Board
which takes vacant retail window space in the
county and uses it to promote locally produced
goods and services. The first phase of the
program has been launched in the Courtyard
Shopping Centre in Letterkenny. Ten local
businesses will be displaying their products in
a refurbished retail unit. |
“It’s a great example
of businesses in Donegal working in partnership to
support each other," said Ursula Donnelly, assistant
ceo of Donegal County Enterprise Board.
“This is an idea that will work throughout the
county and we hope to increase exposure and sales
for our clients.”
The idea for ShopWindow came from a newly formed
network for creative businesses in Donegal. Other
exhibitors include Sioda Batik, Letterkenny, Emer
O’Sullivan Ceramics, Letterkenny, KoKo Designs,
Letterkenny, Shaun Egan Photography, |

Kerrykeel, John Molloy
(Ardara) Ltd., La Maison, Letterkenny, Appletree,
Letterkenny and Sharp Design, Letterkenny.
The Board is still actively looking for both new
exhibitors and vacant retail space to help promote
more local businesses. Any potential exhibitors,
landlords or developers can contact Ursula Donnelly
on 074 9160735 or
