So, no firearms or prescription drugs then?

Ash cloud or not, the sun seems to be out for the weekend which has got to be good.  If the Icelandic Gods have upset any of your travel plans and you're feeling hard done by, spare a thought for Martin and Kirsten who are getting married today at the Inishshannon House Hotel.  Thing is, the bride is German and her entire family were due to fly in from Germany last night!  We hope at least some have managed to blag a seat with some kind truckers and make it here in time.  Congratulations to you both!

Heap of new companies took advantage of a free listing on ThinkIrish.ie this week.  We love the fabulous artisan products that the guys down in Longueville House are creating.  They do garden fruit liquers, apple brandy, pates, chutneys, smoked salmon, house blended spices and jams and preserves - all made on site.  They even have their own bees making their honey for them for crying out loud!  But what really caught our eye was the arrival of L'Onglex Nail Care products.  We love everything about them.  Great product, smart packaging, dynamic website and really active members of the online community.   We're putting them on our list of "Top 10 unexpected products you probably didn't realise could help you make the switch".  Need a snappier name for that list 'tho! L'Onglex is a really good example of how the ThinkIrish.ie product directory can be hugely helpful in finding ideas to help you make the €20 switch. Widely available in Dunnes, Superquinn, Spar, Mace, Londis and Costcutter too. If all that wasn't enough, just this week they won a coveted Image Magazine Beauty Award for being "one of the original and still the best nail polish removers.  It quickly dissolves polish and is amazing value"  Oh! and more importantly, it's made in Cork!


Middle of next week sees the launch of our "Star Products" competition which promises to be a lot of fun.  Thanks to everyone who sent us through ideas for what product they'd like to see their favourite celebrity endorse.  We'll be picking the best and using these to kick-start things so watch this space for a chance to win some great prizes.  Now just have to get to grips with the Facebook promotional guidelines which are not for the feint-hearted.  Apparently we can't offer "firearms or prescription drugs" as a prize!

Campaign numbers are growing strongly.  We might even close out the 2,000 mark by the end of the weekend which would be terrific - 31 new jobs and counting.

Thought you might like to see the stats on the left which show the location of our fanbase.  We think Limerick have thrown down the gauntlet to Cork and Galway.  Just sayin'...  Lovin' the 12 fans in Palo Alto too (home of facebook we believe).

Things are just gettin' started so if you haven't already joined us - what's keepin' you? No, seriously, what is keepin' you????

Have a really great weekend.
