Galway East TD and Minister for Rural Affairs Seán Canney has welcomed an announcement by An Post of €2 million in business supports for Small and Medium Enterprises.
An Post is introducing a €1 million direct mail marketing fund for SMEs, discounted prices for SMEs during the COVID-19 period and an advice hub to help SMEs start trading online.
Minister Canney said: “This is a very welcome package of initiatives by An Post at a time when businesses are under severe pressure.
“The marketing fund offers €1,000 worth of direct mail for small firms towards a local advertising drive or a wider campaign.
“The price reduction for SMEs will initially see a 25% cut in parcel rates, while the advice hub will link in with Local Enterprise Offices and other business networks.
“An Post’s initiative complements the Government’s €12 billion package of supports for businesses of all sizes.
Businesses can access the An Post package by registering for the An Post Advantage Card through anpost.com/commerce and post offices.
The marketing fund is available on a first come first serve basis from Monday May 25.
