Hoekom sukkel met korttermynlenings as jy kan afbetaal oor 6 maande
MAATSKAPPY VAN DIE MAAND
GEMSBOK FINANSIËLE DIENSTE
Ons is opgewonde om aan te kondig dat ons Maatskappy van die Maand `n baken in die hart van Upington is wat die plaaslike gemeenskap finansiëel bemagtig. Gemsbok Finansiële Dienste is plaaslik en diepgewortel in die gemeenskap wat hulle in staat stel om hul dienste spesifiek aan te pas om aan die uiteenlopende vereistes van die Upington gemeenskap te voldoen. Gemsbok bied kort-termyn kredietooreenkomste in die vorm van kontantlenings en ontwikkelingskredietooreenkomste soos beskryf in die Nasionale Kredietwet van 2005. Die onderneming bied ook lenings aan wat spesifiek bedoel is vir bouwerk en verbeterings aan huise. Die kontantlenings is vir onvoorsiene uitgawes wat mag opduik soos ‘n begrafnis, ‘n motor wat breek, ensovoorts. Die huislenings is om verbeteringe aan jou bestaande huis aan te bring, soos ‘n nuwe plafon, nuwe teëls of die verf van jou huis. Of jy kan oor ’n tydperk ‘n hele huis bou deur stuk-stuk met elke lening aan te bou, of jy kan dalk ‘n vertrek aanbou om uit te verhuur en sodoende ‘n passiewe inkomste te skep. Die maksimum bedrag vir kontantlenings is R8 000 en huislenings is R10 000 en die kontantlenings is terugbetaalbaar oor ‘n tydperk van 1 tot 6 maande, terwyl die huislenings terugbetaalbaar is oor 7 tot 12 maande. Gemsbok Finansiële Dienste se belofte aan sy kliënte is dat elke kliënt met respek en met eerlikheid behandel sal word en dat die personeel uit hul pad sal gaan om die kliënt se probleem op te los. Hulle doeltreffende aansoekproses en vinnige goedkeuring maak hulle ‘n betroubare keuse vir diegene wat vinnige finansiële oplossings soek. Gemsbok spog met drie takke in Kathu, Kakamas en Upington.
Marius Badenhorst, eienaar van Gemsbok noem dat almal so nou en dan kontantvloei-probleme ondervind. “Of ek as die eienaar nou my kredietkaart gebruik en sodoende geld by die bank leen, en of die kliënte geld by een van ons kantore kom leen - dit is nie ‘n skande om geld te leen nie. Ons sal alles in ons vermoë doen om kliënte te help om hul skuld by ons te bestuur sodat hulle nie in ‘n spiraal van skuld verval nie. “Met ons lenings van 6 maande wil ons ook hê mense wat reeds by ander mikroleners in ‘n spiraal van maand-tot-maand-betalings vasgevang is, moet met ons kom praat en kyk of hulle eerder ‘n lening van ses maande kan bemiddel en sodoende uit die maand-tot-maand-spiraal kan ontsnap. Ons wil ook mense help om hul huise mooier of groter te maak of selfs ‘n mooi huis uit die grond uit te bou,” het Badenhorst gesê. Die span by Gemsbok verstaan dat finansiële besluite persoonlik is en dat mense dikwels huiwerig is, daarom is deursigtigheid op alle gebiede vir hulle uiters belangrik. Hulle stel duidelike termes en voorwaardes, en sorg dat kliente volledig ingelig tydens elke tree van die proses is. Dis duidelik dat Gemsbok Finansiele Dienste die titel van Maatskappy van die Maand verdien. Gemsbok Finansiële Dienste voldoen nie net aan die finansiële behoeftes van die gemeenskap nie, maar dra ook aktief by tot sy groei en welstand. Baie geluk aan Gemsbok Finansiële Dienste - ‘n finansiële vennoot wat trots en sterk in die hart van Upington staan.

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