Successful Tipp Gift Card
Boosting businesses across the county
The Love Tipperary Gift Card has already proven to be nothing short of extraordinary, making a massive impact on the local economy. In just a few weeks since its launch in late November, the card has seen over €90,000 spent, with over 270 businesses across the county now proudly accepting it.
This chamber-driven initiative, proudly supported by Tipperary County Council, is more than just a card - it’s a powerful force driving economic growth and revitalising the community by keeping money where it matters most: right here in Tipperary.
The Love Tipperary Gift Card is revolutionising the way we support local businesses. Available in both physical Grab and Go cards and E-Gift Cards, the card offers unmatched flexibility, enabling recipients to shop at over 270 participating businesses across the county - from local favourites to big brands. Whether it’s for staff, family, or friends, this card is an ideal gift that not only supports Tipperary’s economy but also ensures 100% of the money stays in the county.
What sets the Love Tipperary Gift Card apart from other gift cards is its zero commission policy for participating businesses - no extra costs for buyers, meaning every euro spent directly benefits local businesses. This is not just about gifting; it’s about empowering Tipperary businesses, whether they are small independent shops, restaurants, or well-known national brands, by driving more foot traffic to their doors and giving them a platform to thrive.
Michelle Aylward, CEO of the County Tipperary Chamber, said: “We couldn’t be more excited about the success of the Love Tipperary Gift Card. With over €90,000 already spent in such a short time, it’s clear that the people of Tipperary are passionate about supporting their local businesses. This initiative is making a real and tangible difference, keeping money in Tipperary where it will continue to help businesses grow. The response has been incredible, and we’re excited to see even more growth as we move into the New Year.”
The Love Tipperary Gift Card is available for Grab and Go at participating locations in Clonmel, Nenagh, Tipperary Town, Cashel, Thurles, and Roscrea. The E-Gift Card is also available online at www.countytipperarychamber.com, providing a quick, convenient way to give the gift of local shopping all year round.
Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council, Declan Burgess, said: “The Love Tipperary Gift Card is a true testament to the power and strength of our community. Every euro spent locally is an investment in the future of our county. This initiative is a fantastic example of how we can all work together to sustain and grow our local economy and ensure a prosperous future for businesses and residents in Tipperary.”
