MAATSKAPPY VAN DIE MAAND

GO FUNERAL BEGRAFNISDEKKING

Die verlies van ’n familielid bring altyd pyn, maar onbeplande begrafnisreëlings kan die ervaring selfs nog moeiliker maak – het jy `n begrafnisplan in plek?

Het jy geweet die koste van ‘n begrafnis in Suid-Afrika kan wissel van R12 000 tot R60 000, afhangende van jou keuses? Daarom sal ‘n begrafnisplan van R10 000 skaars die behoeftes van ‘n begrafnis dek – wat meebring dat sommige families reëlings moet tref om die kostes te dek. Ons Maatskappy van die Maand is GOFuneral wat jou kan help om `n begrafnisplan uit neem as jy nog nie een het nie, of om te kyk of die polis wat jy wel het voldoen aan jou behoeftes. Dit is altyd beter om voorbereid te wees op die lewe se onvoorsiene gebeure.

Geen families moet tydens die moeilike tyd van `n afsterwe van `n geliefde finansiële druk ervaar nie en ‘n begrafnisplan kan help om dit te voorkom. Jou begrafnisplan se uitbetaling sal verseker jou familielid word begrawe met die waardigheid wat hul verdien om mee gegroet te word.

GOFuneral help jou om `n begrafnisplan uit te neem wat by jou begroting en jou behoeftes pas. Die uitbetaling op ‘n begrafnisplan is afhanklik van die dekking wat jy koop. Jy kan gedek word vir enigiets van R10 000 tot R100 000. `n Jong werkende persoon kan vir `n R40 000 dekking R153 per maand betaal. Hierby kry hy R30 000 bykomend tot die R40 000 as hy in `n noodlottige ongeluk is. Addisioneel word R4 000 onmiddelik aan sy geliefdes uitbetaal vir onvoorsiene onmiddelike uitgawes soos kruideniersware of

petrolgeld, hy kry ook bystandsvoordele soos die vervoer van `n oorledene in al die SADC lande, twee buskaartjies vir geliefdes om die begrafnis by te woon en 24uur se telefoniese bystand om verblyfreëlings te tref, hoe om `n doodsertifikaat te kry en nog baie meer.

As jy getroud is met kinders kan jy dekking vir jouself, jou gade en kinders uitneem, en as jy selfs voorsiening vir jou tannie, ooms, neefs en niggies moet maak, is daar dekking vir uitgebreide families beskikbaar.

Kontak vir GOFuneral vir `n kwotasie.

Skandeer die kode en stuur vir hulle `n WhatsApp of stuur vir hulle `n e-pos na info@gofuneral.co.za.

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

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.

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.

High-quality print exposure

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.

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.
