If you are an Enterprise Ireland client with a global ambition to sell to markets outside of Ireland there is a marketing grant available that will help fund a digital strategy and ongoing marketing support.
Enterprise Ireland's Digital Marketing Unit (DMU) is focused on helping export-focused clients across all sectors to exploit the Internet as a route to market and to assist them in developing a strategy that will shape how they do business online. Based on the recommendation of your Development Adviser the DMU provides a range of services:
Strategic guidance
workshops and seminars
funding support
Who Is It Designed for?
This support is designed to assist senior managers in client companies to maximise the opportunities presented by the Internet as a business development channel.
To qualify you:
Must be an Enterprise Ireland client
Employ 10 or more full-time employees
Operate in the manufacturing or internationally traded services sectors
How much is the grant for:
The maximum level of grant support is up to 50% of eligible costs incurred (i.e. up to 50% of eligible consultancy costs and up to 50% of eligible champion costs) up to a maximum grant of €35,000.
How do I apply?
Clients of Enterprise Ireland should contact their Enterprise Ireland Development Adviser to discuss their proposal and to ensure it meets the overall business objectives for their company.
It’s worth mentioning the grant will not cover the purchase or development of hardware, software or online advertising costs. What it will cover are activities such as:
Optimising your web presence to ensure visibility in your target export market
Development of a written online marketing strategy
A roadmap for implementation of this strategy
Training for measuring, monitoring, moderating and managing online marketing channels
Comprehensive analysis of your competitor’s online presence
