Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber - Upcoming Event

Summer Season in Dungarvan & West Waterford

Visitors have already begun their pilgrimage to Dungarvan & West Waterford for a variety of reasons this Summer Season. Many will return frequently, particularly if the weather maintains a sunny outlook, others will tell friends and family about our picturesque and well resourced area, encouraging them to make a visit. 

The Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber are inviting businesses to get as involved as possible and take advantage of the upcoming opportunities that are listed below that will hopefully lead to increased business for all. 

 

Dungarvan, Co Waterford – One of the Preferred Shopping Destinations in the Region!! 

Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, known primarily for its picturesque setting with a market square bordering a quayside is now fast developing a reputation as a major shopping destination! 

Traditionally Dungarvan, set on a market square, has been a known location of trade, however this is now more so, particularly during the past number of years.   

Huge investment has been made publicly and privately within the town centre and on the periphery. A new Shopping centre adjacent to the square now exists with ample parking public and private.  

Savvy shoppers use Dungarvan as their choice shopping destination for a number of reasons. High on the list is the value offered, choice and variety of goods and businesses, a relaxed atmosphere, ease of access and no hassle parking on and close to shopping areas. 

To further support this growth, the Dungarvan Town Council are offering the first Thursday of each month as a free parking day for the Summer Season. This initiative commences on Thursday July 2nd. **All on street and council owned car parks will offer free parking on Thursday 2nd July. Privately owned car parks do not apply.  

Various businesses are kindly sponsoring prizes, the winners will be randomly selected after writing their name and phone number of the back of the receipt and at the time of purchase.  

Shops and services are also using this opportunity to showcase their business and the value they offer, hoping to entice people back again and perhaps make Dungarvan their permanent shopping destination of choice.  

Obviously home to Clonea beach, the SGC digital cinema, attractive public amenities, well equipped public playgrounds, a scenic quayside and a vast number of cafes, restaurants and bars, Dungarvan is now every bit as competitive where shopping is concerned. From a Debbs dress to a door stop, Dungarvan can offer you everything!   

Maybe its time for you to come and see why Dungarvan is such a popular shopping choice in the region!  

Don’t forget you will benefit from free parking on Thursday July 2nd and may even win some prizes! For further information contact the Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber Tel; 058 45054 or visit the website www.dungarvanchamber.ie  

 

 

Best Dressed Windows

Over the period of 3 months there will be a monthly a Best Dressed Window competition, each with a different theme.

June; Nautical

July; Beach

August; Cycling

 

The windows will be judged on the 24th – 26th of each month. Winners will be informed within days of the adjudication and a prize presented to them compliments of the Dungarvan Tidy Towns Committee.

 

Your Own Doorstep

The Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber would like to take this opportunity to encourage all businesses to look after their own doorstep and ensure their window/ street frontage is clean at all times. Spring/ Summer is always a good time for a fresh coat of paint and maybe power hosing outside your business may be an option to freshen the look. ’A street’ is a public road, usually lined with buildings; please don’t let your neighbours down by not taking an interest in your property.   

Utilise Empty Windows

The Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber would like to encourage businesses that find window displays advantageous to contact neighbouring premises that may be vacant and suggest hosting your own window displays in their window. This would reduce the vacant look on any Street should a vacant premises exist and give free/ low cost advertising to you.

The SGC Dungarvan has a full and popular Opera Schedule that is sure to draw viewers and visitors from near and far. A full listing is available from www.SGCDungarvan.net

Let’s give these visitors a fantastic encounter, hospitality they will remember, an experience they will tell friends and family about and a longing to return to our streets & shorelines.

The Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber also advocates and lobbies to Keep Business Local, now this action is more important than ever, ensuring local jobs are protected and local businesses are supported.  Before you spend money outside of Dungarvan & West Waterford, maybe you would consider if this product is on offer in Dungarvan or West Waterford as it could make a significant difference to our local economy. Members suggest they will match prices if you are totally price focused and find your intended product lower elsewhere. Also some businesses are happy to investigate sourcing products they don’t necessarily normally stock for clients, so why not give them a chance and support local industry.

To support and progress our Keep Business Local Initiative, we at the Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber are also encouraging everyone to Buy Local. We have identified food and pharmaceutical items produced locally and where they are stocked. Many retailers have got onboard to support this project and will highlight these products in their stores to ensure that you, the customer, is aware of the variety of local products on offer.

We offer amazing services, products and hospitality here in Dungarvan & West Waterford. Let’s work together, and enjoy the success that will prevail from our efforts.

Ní Neart Go Cur Le Chéile!
