Test Event - This Weekend

As a Founding Member, your business becomes part of W.ie's original launch collection, helping establish a trusted destination where people discover exceptional places to stay, eat, shop and experience throughout Ireland.

Together we're building a platform that celebrates independent businesses and encourages visitors to explore more of what Ireland has to offer.

Quality and consistency
A strong, dependable standard across the business’s products, services, surroundings and customer experience.

Independent character
Businesses with a distinctive identity, personal story or clear point of difference. We particularly value independent, family-run and Irish-founded businesses.

A worthwhile experience
Places and businesses that customers would feel pleased to have discovered, visited, recommended or shared with others.

Authenticity and originality
A genuine offering with its own personality, rather than something that feels generic, copied or created primarily for mass appeal.

Presentation and attention to detail
Thoughtful branding, imagery, premises, packaging, online presence or customer communication that reflects care and professionalism.

Local or cultural relevance
Businesses that contribute positively to their town, county, community, craft, heritage or Ireland’s wider visitor and retail experience.

Customer care and reputation
Evidence of good service, fair treatment of customers and a generally positive and trustworthy reputation.

Suitability for the W.ie audience
The business must be relevant to the people using W.ie to discover distinctive places to shop, eat, drink, stay, visit and experience across Ireland.

Once your Founding Membership has been purchased, here's what you can expect:

1. Payment Confirmation
You'll receive confirmation that your Founding Membership subscription has been successfully received.

2. Final Listing Review
We'll carry out a final review of your business profile and make any agreed amendments before publication.

3. Listing Goes Live
Once approved, your business will be published on W.ie and included within the relevant categories, county listings and search results.

4. You're a W.ie Founding Member
From that point, customers can discover your business through W.ie, with direct links to your website, booking system and social media channels.

Need to make a change?
