Business owners have been vital to the drive for jobs in our pioneering town of Drogheda. There are many ways you can pitch in, to boost your local economy and improve your business prospects in the process.

Getting consumers spending again is crucial for creating jobs. Making common cause with fellow traders can help get the economy off its knees. A main street with boarded-up windows won't entice anyone to shop: investing in your town to make it more attractive will make your customers more likely to enjoy shopping - and spend more.

A thriving local economy profits everyone.

Join the Coupon Scheme

Promote a range of goods or services that foster employment in your area, with discounts or special offers such as 2-for-1. You’ll be encouraging Coupon holders to buy products that keep money in the local economy. And every euro spent locally multiplies as it’s re-spent down the line.

Pledge to make a difference

For example, use local goods, materials and services wherever possible in running your business. And if you can, re-invest in your company to make it more productive, or attractive to consumers - and get them spending again. Extra investment and revenue could shore up existing jobs as well as create more in the wider economy. See our Business Tips from the Drogheda experts on this page to help your enterprise thrive.

Local Heroes Groups

Ideas and resources from local traders are crucial in the Local Heroes Campaign to create jobs. Maybe your town has hidden assets that could be marketed as selling-points to draw more business. And very practically, an idle premises could house the Local Heroes Hub or you could donate products or services to kit it out.
