New Ownbrands for the Hill of Tara, County Meath

Seen below are some samples of the Willow Ireland's ownbrand range based in the Hill of Tara.

The Hill of Tara, known as Temair in gaeilge, was once the ancient seat of power in Ireland – 142 kings are said to have reigned there in prehistoric and historic times.

In ancient Irish religion and mythology Temair was the sacred place of dwelling for the gods, and was the entrance to the otherworld.

Saint Patrick is said to have come to Tara to confront the ancient religion of the pagans at its most powerful site.

Showcase Craft Fair

Willow had a very successful show at the RDS Craft Fair in Dublin with over 120 current and new customers attending the stand.

In particular, our new "own brand" photogrpahy and design service was very popular with perspective clients. A product package including greeting cards, postcards and calendars was successfully marketed to new clients.

David Knight, Willow's photographer will visit your town, region or visitor centre / tourist attraction and will complete a photo shoot with you on the day - these photographs will then be used to create your own range of cards, calendars and postcards and will include your own logos and promotional material.




This service is very suitable if you are an independent retailer. Towns such as Naas, Dalkey, Claremorris, Monasterevin, and Killinchy, co. Down have already availed of our service. Visiotr centers and tourist attractions such as the Irish National Stud, Trinity College, Lough Key Forest Park and many more are having great success with our "own brand" ranges.
