Kells businesses.
The diaspora. We run the shop.

Made in Kells connects local makers, cafés, and shops to the Irish diaspora — and to anyone worldwide who wants something from this town — without asking busy owners to become online sellers. We handle the content, the listing, and the promotion. You keep doing what you do best.

How it works

Three pillars. Full service.

Think of it as a town-run bridge to the diaspora: we photograph and write, we host a presence on MadeinKells so people can find and enquire, and we promote the listings. Ownership stays with the business. We run the online side.

01

Content

We create photos, short video, and clear copy of your products and craft — so the diaspora sees the real thing, not a stock photo from somewhere else.

02

System

You get a listing and shop-style presence on MadeinKells. Diaspora visitors can find you, browse, and send an order enquiry. Scaffold first — checkout can come later when you’re ready.

03

Promotion

We push your story to the Irish abroad and to people who already care about Kells and the Book — so the listing doesn’t sit in a dark corner of the internet.

What’s included

Not a commission trap. A town service.
