SERVICE OF THE MONTH

DENT DOCTOR

In the heart of Bloemfontein, Dent Doctor stands as a testament to the fusion of passion, family values, and decades of expertise in automotive body repair. Established in 2001, Dent Doctor Bloemfontein has been a beacon of excellence under the dedicated ownership of Arthur Schmidt since 2012. Arthur’s commitment to delivering a quality product, embracing technological advancements, and prioritizing client satisfaction has shaped Dent Doctor into more than just a repair shop – it’s a family legacy. Arthur’s roots in the automotive industry run deep, cultivated in the panel shop of his grandparents during his formative years. His love for the trade flourished, shaping his philosophy of delivering excellence in every repair. This commitment has transcended generations, with his children, Ruan and Ashley, proudly continuing the family tradition. Ruan, an Accountant Graduate, joined the Bloemfontein team in 2021, co-managing the branch with Arthur. Their shared passion for the trade ensures that Dent Doctor Bloemfontein remains at the forefront of automotive body repair. Assisting the Schmidt family in their mission is Freddie Julyan, who runs the workshop with the same passion and dedication. Together, they form a formidable team dedicated to upholding Dent Doctor’s commitment to quality, precision, and client satisfaction. In 2019, Dent Doctor saw an opportunity for expansion and opened a branch in Bethlehem. Arthur entrusted the leadership of this branch to his son-in-law, Charl Schult, and daughter Ashley Schmidt Schult. This dynamic duo, with their approachable nature and attention to detail, achieved remarkable success, securing 2nd place in the Free State at the Free State Lightstone EchoMbr ranking awards for three consecutive years.

Dent Doctor’s commitment to excellence is evident in the wide range of services offered. From bumper and plastic repairs to spray painting, panel beating, polishing, hail damage repairs, and paintless dent removal, Dent Doctor has mastered the art of automotive body repair. Their expertise is recognized not just in Bloemfontein but has also garnered accolades in Bethlehem. At Dent Doctor, every repair is treated as a work of art. The team understands that a car is more than just a machine; it’s an integral part of one’s life. This understanding drives their meticulous approach to every task, ensuring that every vehicle leaves their care in impeccable condition.

RESTAURANT VAN DIE MAAND

TRAUMEREI PRETTY GARDENS

Welkom by die eerste LoveLocal-uitgawe in Bloemfontein waar ons die smake wat ons stad uniek maak, vier. Vir ons eerste uitgawe is ons opgewonde om Traumerei Langenhovenpark Pretty Gardens as ons Restaurant van die Maand te kroon. Hierdie juweel het ons harte verower met sy bekoorlike atmosfeer en smaaklike spyskaart. Traumerei bied `n Sondag-brunch wat van agtuur die oggend tot eenuur die middag duur. Geniet ‘n rustige Sondagoggend-koffie terwyl dié brunch se verskeidenheid aan elke palet sal voldoen. Die ster van hulle spyskaart is die Club-Sandwich, ‘n hartlike ensemble van spek, hoender, eiers, kaas, gherkin, tamatie, slaaiblare, komkommer, uie, en skyfies. Vir diegene wat hunker na ‘n nog groter hap, is die Big Daddy Dagwood iemand wat lief is vir vleis se droom. En as jy graag iets voor werk wil eet, skop jou dag af met die Rise and Shine Cappuccino Breakfast. Bring gerus die kinders saam, want hulle kinderspyskaart is spesiaal saamgestel wat `n groot glimlag op die kleingoed se gesigte sal laat.

Wat Traumerei uniek maak, is hulle verleidelike Granadilla of Strawberry Kombucha. Hierdie verfrissende drankie word gemaak deur die fermentasie van versoete tee met die hulp van `n kolonie bakterieë en gis bekend as SCOBY (Symbiotiese kultuur van bakterieë en gis) en word gemeng met vars vrugtesap. Geniet dit per glas of bring jou eie houer, want hulle verkoop dit per liter. Die voordele van Kombucha is groot. Eerstens is dit ‘n uitstekende bron van probiotika, voordelige mikroörganismes wat help om dermflora te balanseer en die immuunstelsel te versterk. Verder is hierdie gefermenteerde drankie ryk aan ensieme, B-vitamiene, antioksidante en organiese sure, wat kan help om die liggaam te ontgif, vertering te verbeter en selfs geestesgesondheid te bevorder.

LoveLocal

A local media partner for local businesses, connecting them with local people.

In a world where people are bombarded with so much noise — marketing emails, ads, SMS, and an endless stream of content—we bring local service providers to residents to consider local purchasing before looking elsewhere. How? By expanding your brand reach within your local community with a three-pronged advertising and marketing solution that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. This strategy includes: QR-Codeshort-form videos, and high-quality print exposure.

We’re called local for a reason

Short-form video content

High-quality print exposure

People are no longer looking for high-quality, studioproduced ads, but rather relatable and authentic content. We create short, hard-hitting, low-cost, but high-quality video bites that generate better engagement between local businesses and local people. We then share them on our LoveLocal social media platforms, making the experience local people get from our advertisers, engaging and authentic, with content that resonates with them.

We have identified a significant gap in the advertising landscape: there is a lack of high-quality advertising mechanisms that encourage local residents to prioritize local businesses before considering purchases elsewhere. Unfortunately, the options available are not affordable for SMEs seeking to target local residents effectively.

QR Codes We take our readers online through the generation of client-specific QR-codes that appear on every ad. QRCodes are the way of the future and have seen more than 750% growth in use since the pandemic. Through the simple task of scanning a business’s own unique QR-Code, either on the hardcopy LoveLocal edition, or following the hyperlinks on the digital edition, customers will be able to access information, locations and products available at businesses in their immediate area that are dynamic and can be edited and updated by the business owner whenever they choose. You get to control what the link to the QR-code takes the customer to. Use them to: • Share directions to your business • Create a virtual business card that will add your details to their phone when they scan the QR Code • Grow your social media following • Share more information about a campaign or launch online by directing people to a specific landing page • Generate an email to your business by automatically including the receiving email address • Generate a click-to-call by adding your business’s phone number automatically, and so much more.

The bi-monthly LoveLocal printed publication, allows local businesses to promote their services in a cost-effective, high-quality paper publication. It is pretty much a summary of all the video content we shared on social media, but in print. • Format: A4 • Distribution: 5 000 copies • Frequency: Bi-Monthly The idea was born out of inspiration, combined with creativity to bring the first of its kind to you and local business owners—to link print media with online media in changing times, using the latest digital concept of dynamic QR codes.

The rise of the QR code Bridge the gap between the online and offline worlds with QR codes.

Increase your brand awareness, generate more leads, and enhance customer engagement.

Did you know? With dynamic QR Codes, you can edit the QR Code data as many times as required and get access to scan analytics to better optimize your marketing campaigns. This mean you can place on QR code in the directory, but modify the content anytime, even after printing. E.g restaurants can update menu’s, businesses can display latest specials, etc. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased QR code usage in South Africa. According to a survey conducted by World Wide Worx in 2020, 52% of South African respondents reported having scanned a QR code in the past.

Businesses place these QR Codes in strategic locations and on products for consumers to scan using their smartphones and move them through the marketing funnel by giving consumers access to the right information at the right time.

Examples of landing pages:

Good things come to those who wait.
