‘BUSINESSnow’

We all know how much business has changed in the past year. Uncertainty and a lack of consumer confidence means it has never been more important to keep your business to the fore of your customer’s mind.

In our April issue of GALWAYnow magazine, we are giving you a chance to be included in a very simple but effective feature, BUSINESSnow.

Choose to take a full,l half or quarter page display advert and receive the same space again in which to profile your business FREE of charge.

> Use the display advert to promote your business/ special offer/ unique selling point, in a visual way using your branding.

>Use the editorial to profile either your business as whole or a person within your company. Editorial gives you the opportunity to connect with readers on a more personal level, and to tell the story of your business.

Why GALWAYnow magazine?

In its 10 years of business, GALWAYnow has established itself as a leader in regional publishing.

A high quality product with excellent content, the magazine is the smart woman’s magazine of choice, and is read by thousands of women in the West every month.

As GALWAYnow is a monthly publication, your advert has a longer shelf life and will be seen more frequently than in a newspaper.

Two tickets are up for grabs for the fabulous award ceremony for our Goldenegg Fashion Innovation Awards taking place next Thursday 18 March. If you want to be in with a chance of attending the West’s biggest fashion event this year, to brush shoulders with some of the country’s biggest names in fashion, then answer the following question, and email it through to me at deputyeditor@goldenegg.ie by Monday 15 March.

What are the three magazines published by the Goldenegg Group?

On the back of his stunning success at London Fashion week where he celebrated 25 years with an outstanding Autumn/Winter Collection, John Rocha will be honoured in Galway with the ‘Contribution to Irish Fashion Award’ at the Golden Egg ‘Irish Fashion Innovation Awards’ which take place in the Radisson BLU hotel on March 18th.
The Irish Fashion Innovation Awards aim to help showcase and provide recognition for talented Irish designers and fashion students. All the finalists in the hotly-contested ‘Designer of the year’ category will also be in attendance and take their collections to the catwalk on the night. Among them are some of the most exciting and up and coming names in Irish fashion: Joanne Hynes, Helen James, Eilish Boyle, Yasmin Vellosa and Heather Finn.
Sharing the catwalk will be the finalists in the ‘Student’, ‘Accessory’ and ‘Jewellery’ designer of the year categories coming from Dublin, Galway, Mayo, Leitrim, Waterford, Derry, Donegal and Cavan.  The brief for entries was to develop their design with ‘Galway’ as the theme and they will be judged by some of the most respected names in the Irish fashion industry including International award-wining jewellery designer, Slim Barrett, famed for designing Victoria Beckham’s wedding tiara and for having designs commissioned by host of leading international designers and celebrities, Deirdre McQuillan, Irish Times fashion editor, Fashion guru Eddie Shanahan and TG4’s ‘Paisean Faisean’ presenter Blathnaid Ni Dhonnchadha.

The awards are a celebration of Golden Egg’s tenth year in business. The company who publish the magazines Galwaynow, Limericknow, and Weddingsnow felt they wanted to give visibility, support and a voice to young Irish talent and the ‘Irish Fashion Innovation Awards’ certainly offers a fantastic opportunity for fashion students to highlight their work.

A fundraising raffle will be held during the show in aid of The National Breast Cancer Research Institute (NBCRI). Tickets are €40, and can be purchased from The Treasure Chest, Les Jumelles or Revive Café. Also by contacting Golden Egg directly T: 091 384350, W: www.goldenegg.ie


With everybody looking to keep an eye on costs these days, Hibernian Aviva Health has a cracking offer for customers switching their health insurance cover between November 30th and December 30th.

Customers who make the switch can availing of an immediate reward of €50; either in the form of a €50 Smyths Toy Store Voucher or if they’d prefer, they will make a donation on their behalf to the wonderful children’s
charity, Barnardos.

But that’s just the start of the benefits, as they offer a range of highly competitive plans that offer better healthcare for less. A family* can save up to €275 if switching from Vhi Plan B Option Parents & Kids to Hibernian Aviva Health’s
Level 2 Hospital.

Then, of course, there’s the fact that they’ll enjoy access to more
hospitals, more treatment centres and more scan centres than with any other health
insurer. They also cover cancer care and cardiac procedures in all high-tech
hospitals, as well as access to essential day care procedures.

Contact Faith Fahy Financial Consultant & Insurance Broker on 091 765360 or faith@faithfahy.com to arrange a free review of your health insurance policy.

Please note: Offer is available only on selected policies that commence cover between November 30th and December 30th. Only one voucher or donation available per policy. Terms and conditions apply. *Savings are based on a family of 2 adults, 2 children & 1 student switching from VHI plan B Option Parents & Kids to our Level 2 Hospital.

Kindness is Contagious – pass it on! is a new initiative to replace recessionary blues with summer smiles through re-discovering the simple joys and pleasures of being kind to one another.

Offering a kindness is like tossing a pebble into a pool and creating a ripple effect. The more pebbles that are tossed into the pool the more kindness will ripple out far and wide.
