At the June meetup of Open Coffee Sligo – there was a lot of discussion around the benefits there would be for some co-ordination of online marketing activities in the region – particularly with the Leonard Cohen/Westlife concerts looming.
In this weeks Sligo Champion (print version) – there was further indication that retail and hospitality pulling out the stops for the concert weekend. A committee has been formed to capitialise on the retail and hospitality opportunies – and part of this is an Ambassador Programe.
With that in mind, Sligo Leader Programme have been in touch to make Open Coffee attendees aware of the following :

Ambassadors for Sligo to act as walking, talking information points during Sligo’s big weekend of July 29th to August 2nd needed! 30,000+ visitors can have a really positive experience of Sligo if met by your helpful, smiley face. They might choose to come back as a result and hopefully spend plenty on the weekend as a result of your input. Interested? Love Sligo?
