Buy in Carlow
Consider these when deciding where to purchase
This is an appeal to all Businesses to think Local before you Buy...
In these competitive times companies feel compelled to look for the lowest price available which in many cases can mean sourcing products and services that are available locally from other counties or perhaps even overseas. However there is more to buying locally than just the face value of a product or service.
Here are some issues you should also consider when deciding where to purchase:
