FBD Insurance has today launched an advertising support package worth a total of €140,000 for seven Irish SMEs nationwide.
Each business will avail of an advertising package valued at more than €20,000.
The selected SMEs represent diverse sectors, ranging from food and hospitality to retail, and hail from all corners of the country.
The seven businesses are Middle Eastern food café Mezze, which is based in Tramore, Co Waterford, McKenna's Londis supermarkets in Drung and Buncrana, Co Donegal, cafe Perry Street which is open in Cork City, Grange and Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, bridal shop Áibhéil of Adare, Co Limerick, The Beach Bar, Templeboy, Co Sligo, organic farm Green Earth Organics in Co Galway and The Coffee Lab/ Brew Town Coffee Roasters in Dublin.
FBD noted that SMEs currently make up 98% of the Irish business landscape and are the backbone of the Irish economy.
It said that in recognition of the contribution SMEs make to the Irish economy and the rising cost of doing business they are experiencing, FBD Insurance has selected these seven SMEs nationwide for an exclusive support initiative.
Sharon Treanor, Head of Marketing at FBD Insurance, said that customers and communities across the company's 34 branches nationwide are at the heart of everything that FBD Insurance does.
"We are always ready to support customers and are delighted to take this support one step further through the launch of this targeted advertising package which we hope goes some way to assist businesses through the current cost of doing business challenges," Sharon Treanor said.
"Advertising is a key way for businesses to tell their story and reach new customers but can often be overlooked during challenging economic times, we look forward to seeing our customer stories featured all across the country as part of this campaign and are confident that this support will have a positive impact on their business growth journey," she added.
