A little thread for you all of a Sunday.

Once again I have woken up to numerous messages from fellow makers, panicked that the Christmas season is still not here.

Asking who they could contact for support.

And there is the problem, we have no one.

@LeoVaradkar
On paper we do, but let me explain how they work.

Huge PR campaign launched, costing lots of đź’° ( oh and that's your money, taxpayers money), that's good you say.

No.

The #shoplocal campaign does not boost the profile of makers. It boosts the profile of the CEO.
I happened to mention this on launch day, I did not tag the CEO or DCCOI.

I politely suggested that the campaign was wasted money and that press interviews etc should be lined up for makers and not the people who run DCCOI.

It is meant to boost our revenues.

Tánaiste @LeoVaradkar with @amyhuberman today launched the #MadeLocal campaign from @DCCIreland.

This is to boost sales and drive revenue for both makers & retailers in the design and craft sector.

The newly designed Made Local symbol can now be seen in participating retailers.
Research from @DCCIreland has indicated that 90% of consumers feel an affinity to Irish craft & design.

43% of Irish consumers will continue to shop online even as restrictions ease, and DCCI is calling on consumers to choose local businesses when shopping online. #MadeLocal Image
Tánaiste @LeoVaradkar said: "We can all play our part; by backing the Made Local campaign, we can help our vibrant Irish design and craft sector to return to prosperity and growth.” #MadeLocal @DCCIreland
