Make Clonmel your Valentine this year
The Clonmel Chamber of Commerce is asking all amorous Tipperary people to show their love for Clonmel, and for local jobs, by supporting the ‘Love Clonmel’ campaign this year.
The Chamber is asking people to buy their Valentine’s presents in the town, and with FEbruary 14 fast approaching, is highlighting how gifts purchased can support local employment.
“Even in an economic downturn St. Valentine’s day still brings out the romantic in people,” said Chamber president Tina Mulhearne.
“It is also a time of the year, almost like Christmas, where the focus is on gifts and giving. This year, we at Clonmel Chamber are asking people to shop locally for February 14. After all we have an excellent selection of card shops, florists, restaurants, jewellers and more throughout the town.”
The retail and hospitality sector in the town employs over 1,000 people according to Chamber statistics. The campaign ‘Love Clonmel’ is part of their new year round policy of promoting local businesses and highlighting the impact of spending in the local economy.
“Initially when we began distributing the posters for this campaign people were confused as this is an initiative that traditionally happens in towns only at Christmas time. However when we explained that we view this as a matter that requires a year round focus they quickly got behind us. The ‘Love Clonmel’ campaign is a little bit tongue in cheek but if it supports, saves or creates jobs then it is well worth it,” she added.
Business who have not yet received the ‘Love Clonmel’ poster can contact Clonmel Chamber on 052 61 26500 to have one delivered.
