A snap poll by new Donegal business Local Deal Hunt shows that 70% of consumers in Donegal do some or all of their Christmas shopping locally in the county.
The results were welcomed by Stephen Mathew, owner of the Local Deal Hunt shopping offers website, who conducted the poll.
“With so many people shopping online, it is encouraging to see that the vast majority are still shopping locally for at least some of their Christmas gifts and goods.
“In this economic climate, it is so important to support local businesses and jobs.
Stephen says they conducted the simple poll from their website www.localdealhunt.ie and promoted it on Facebook and Twitter.
Alongside the poll, Local Deal Hunt ran a Facebook competition for a €50 voucher for Hegarty’s Home Interiors, Buncrana, which was won by Rosaleen McLaughlin of Malin.
“As an early Christmas present, we also launched our latest competition – a Dinner for two at famous Lough Eske Castle Hotel, Donegal.
“It is hard to find money for treats when you have so much to buy at Christmas time, so this prize should provide a lovely evening out for some lucky couple over the holidays.”

“You can search online by product and by area from your Smartphone, PC or laptop and the site will extend across the counties beyond Donegal as it grows.
