For the 4th year in a row, following on from a series of phenomenally successful campaigns, #BuyDonegal will once again return in 2023, showcasing the best of Donegal business to the world!
This campaign gives an opportunity for businesses from all sectors across the county to highlight the exciting and innovative range of products and services they offer and encourage people from near and far to buy them & support local.
The #BuyDonegal initiative was first developed by Donegal County Council in 2020 and has showcased more than 300 innovative, creative, and world-class Donegal based businesses and brands, and has been recognized nationally for its impact on the local economy.
The 2023 campaign will run from Monday November 20th and run for five exciting weeks until December 22nd, providing ample opportunity for festive stocking fillers!
’#BuyDonegal provides a fantastic platform for Donegal businesses to highlight their creativity, innovation, talent and appeal to a much larger audience. Over the last number of years, we have seen an overwhelming response from both businesses and the public in collectively promoting enterprise in the county. 2023 will provide an opportunity to build on the success of this campaign and generate even greater interest in #BuyDonegal’’ outlined Cllr Martin Harley, Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council.
#BuyDonegal offers consumers a great opportunity to buy their loved ones a special Donegal gift in time for Christmas, while also supporting the local economy.
