Sponsoring Munster opens new advertising streams for small business Ryan Stoves
Winning the Bank of Ireland Sponsor for a Day campaign last year has opened new advertising avenues for small business Ryan Stoves, which saw it’s logo appear on the Munster Rugby jerseys during a prominent Heineken Cup clash. “We used Facebook last year to drive votes for our business, and it has opened a new way of advertising for us. We are now actively advertising on both Twitter and Facebook,” said owner Larry Ryan. Ryan Stoves is a family run business involved in the stove and heating industry for the last two decades. It was one of two lucky businesses that won the Bank Of Ireland Sponsor for a Day competition in 2013, which saw both SME’s secure their logos on the Munster and Leinster Jerseys. The campaign, which was run in conjunction with independent.ie, was launched again last week. Larry Ryan advised entrants to this year’s competition, “To give 100% – it’s hard work but it will pay off in the end.”
