The Purpose of Our Service

In a world where regular exposure is essential for growth, one-off adverts are simply not enough. Our monthly marketing service is designed to provide continuous support and customer engagement to businesses that want to remain visible, month after month, without the stress of managing it all yourself. Through an ongoing presence across multiple platforms, we help build momentum for your brand and keep you relevant and top-of-mind for potential customers.



What We Offer Through Our Marketing Service

We bundle several marketing tools into one effective package, and tailor our service levels according to your needs, with options ranging from our basic Starter plan to more comprehensive Growth and Premium packages for maximum exposure. Each level is designed to strengthen your brand locally and grow your audience.


Key components of our monthly service include:

  • Online Business Listing: We’ll include your business in our digital directory – a one-stop source where Potchefstroom locals search for services and products. With over 2,700 local businesses already listed, we ensure your brand gains visibility through a hyperlocal, targeted presence that brings new customers your way.


  • Expanded Mini-Website (“Webbie Page”): Beyond a standard listing, we create a dedicated page for your business on our platform, a mobile-friendly mini-website complete with your logo, an “About Us” section, services, product details, photos, social media links, and your Google Maps location. This becomes a well-curated, shareable profile that helps customers understand and connect with your business instantly.


  • Exposure in the Potch Gazette: Every month, we feature your business in the Potch Gazette, our online news section. You’ll receive editorial coverage including a profile summary and an article written by our professional content team. This story-based approach builds trust and helps customers relate to your business before even walking through your doors.


  • Targeted Social Media Exposure: We blend content with targeted ad campaigns on platforms like Facebook. Your business will be promoted regularly via paid boosts aimed specifically at local audiences most likely to need your product or service. For instance, our Starter plan includes a 7-day boost each month, while higher-tier plans provide extended exposure and a dedicated account manager for direct support.


  • Professional Video Content: Video is a powerful digital tool – and we make it accessible to you. From short video ads to interviews, we create engaging content that highlights your business. As a monthly client, you’ll receive exclusive discounts, and with our Premium plan, we’ll visit you monthly or schedule a studio interview to capture fresh updates. We then share your videos across all our major channels (website, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram) to maximize your reach.


  • Personal Support & Networking: We don’t just give you ad space – we give you hands-on support. Growth and Premium clients are assigned a dedicated account manager for personalized guidance. Plus, all our monthly clients are invited to our exclusive business owner group on WhatsApp/Facebook, where Potchefstroom entrepreneurs exchange tips, collaborate, and stay up to date on local business developments.

Why Every Business Needs Marketing – Especially in Potchefstroom

Marketing isn’t optional. It’s your growth engine. Even if you offer the best service or product, people won’t support you if they don’t know you exist. Research shows that 80% of consumers search online before making a purchase. If you’re not visible, you're invisible. Potchefstroom is a diverse town filled with students, residents, and visitors, all turning to digital platforms to find local businesses.


From students looking for a quick bite to new homeowners needing contractors, their first stop is often Google or Facebook. If you aren’t showing up there, you're missing out. Marketing helps you show up, again and again, in the right places. And many business owners admit they don’t have the time, tools, or experience to do that effectively on their own. That’s where we come in.


We help you stay consistent, professional, and visible, so that when people are looking, you’re already in the running.

We’ve been around since 2018 and are proud to be Potchefstroom’s trusted marketing partner. Our brand breathes with the community. We’ve earned the trust of locals by consistently delivering high-quality content, promotions, and support. We’re also deeply involved in the community, from supporting initiatives like the Potch Dorp Rugby Club to offering platforms that help businesses not only grow, but also connect with one another.


We’re not here for a quick sale, we’re here for the long run.

Hundreds of local businesses already rely on us. Thousands of profiles are active on our platform. The feedback we receive is consistent: business owners appreciate our value, our care, and our results. We do what we say – and we help you do more than just market; we help you grow with confidence.
