Pta Launch - 5 May 2007

15 May 2007

 

Bride Expo

Fashion Show

Our launch in the Pretoria area was a runaway success! The biggest reason for this successful launch was the participation of the Freetalk Discount partners in the area. The event had a high level of attendance from the local community and a lot of cards were activated in the process. A wide variety of prizes was up for grabs as incentives for active Freetalk card members and created a very exiting atmosphere of being Rewarded. These prizes were provided by our very own participating Freetalk Discount partners. The Pretoria North area is now fully aware of the FREETALK Rewards program and can now proudly use their Freetalk Rewards Card at over 109 Rewards Partners in the area. Go to our Shopping partners to see who these partners are and what they can offer You!

Kry belonings met Freetalk.

Skole kan veral voordeel trek uit die program.
Freetalk is ‘n wonderlike nuwe belongingsprogram. Dit is ‘n eerste vir Suid-Afrika en veral skole kan grootliks hieruit munt slaan.

Die beloningsprogram beloon jou normale aankope met lugtyd aan die einde van elke week as jy dit by deelnemende handelaars gebruik.

Lugtyd is deesdae die węreld se grootste handelsitem. Daar is tans meer as 14 miljoen voorafbetaalde lugtyd gebruikers in Suid-Afrika met ‘n gemiddeld van R 200 se lugtyd elke maand per gebruiker. Dit beteken dat R 48 miljoen daagliks op die aankoop van selfoonlugtyd spandeer word. Freetalk spreek bestaande behoeftes soos geldinsameling vir skole, verlaagde kostes van voorafbetaalde lugtyd, maatskaplike verantwoordelikheidsprogramme en die skep van ‘n kommunikasieplatform met ouers aan. Gebruikers hoef nie eens af te wyk van hul bestaande inkopiegewoontes nie, aangesien jy jou Freetalk-kaart by enige van die deelnemende handelaars kan gebruik. Skole kan veral voordeel trek uit die Freetalk-program, sonder om ‘n sent te bestee.

 
Hoe werk dit en hoe sal dit die skool bevoordeel?
Die Freetalk-kaart word deur die skool na die ouers en leerders versprei. Sonder om hul bestaande koopspatrone te verander, gebruik die ouer die kaart by deelnemede winkels en ander vennote wanneer hulle goedere, produkte of dienste aankoop.

Die skool ontvang ‘n persentasie van die aankoopprys op elke transaksie deur die kaarte wat deur die skool versprei is. Tesame daarmee ontvang die kaartgebruiker lugtyd as ‘n persentasie van die koopprys wat aan ‘n genomineerde selfoonnommer toegeken word. Die skool ontvang ‘n gratis webtuiste en sagteware wat die skool instaat sal stel om inligting op die webtuiste aan te pas sonder dat gevorderde internet- of webtuistekennis benodig word. Die sagteware is uiters maklik om te gebruik en eenvoudig ontwerp. As ‘n skool sou verkies om hul bestaande tuiste te behou soos dit tans is, kan hulle so doen. ‘n Skakel sal dan op hul bestaande tuiste geplaas word na ‘n sakegids om sigbaarheid by al die sakevennote te bewerkstellig. Onthou, hoe meer die kaart gebruik word as iets - van gewone kruideniersware tot ‘n motor – gekoop word,hoe groter is die belonging en die waarde van die belonging wat verdien word en dan in lugtyd op die kaart gelaai word. Die Freetalk-beloningsprogram is vir biede kontrak- en voorafbetaalde gebruikers van alle selfoondiensverskaffers in Suid-Afrika beskikbaar. ‘n Groot getal nuwe ondernemings wat aan die program deelneem, sal binnekort per SMS bekom word en lyste sal op die webwerf en by skole beskikbaar wees.

So verdien jy jou Freetalk-belonings

Jy kan Freetalk-lugtyd kry deur eenvoudig jou Freetalk-kaart by n “speedpoint” te gebruik wanneer jy enige produk by die deelnemende winkels aankoop en so jou beloning kry. Jy kry dus onmiddelik Freetalk-belonings wanneer jy aankope by die deelnemende winkels maak.

n Ander opsie is die Cellpointstelsel, wat eiesoortig is aan Freetalk. Dit het betrekking op deelnemende handelaars sonder n “speedpoint”.

Al wat jy moet doen om dit te aktiveer, is die volgende:
• Skep n spoednommer (speed-dial) op jou selfoon deur *120*99*654# in te tik.
• Wanneer jy die spoednommer druk, sal instruksies verskyn.
• Volg die instruksies soos op die selfoonskerm aangedui.
• Die kortste hiervan is gratis aan alle Freetalk-kaartgebruikers. Of druk *120*99*654# (bedrag in rand) *(teller druk   pin in) # en struur.

Alle lugtydbelonings sal op n weeklikse basis op jou genomineerde selfoon gelaai word.

Visit to Kimberley on 4-5 Oct 2006

 
The Freetalk training section visited the Kimberley License holder (Willie Mulder) area on the 4th and 5th October. We started with an appointment at Floors Combined Secondary School. After the presentation to the headmaster, he decided that we should present this concept to the learners immediately. Within ten minutes we addressed 940 learners in the square. We presented the Freetalk concept as well as the advantages. The reaction was so overwhelming that we struggled to calm the learners in order to proceed. We were then asked to present the merit awards of the school to six learners.

We are confident from this experience that we will achieve enormous success. Please notify us if you want us to do the same in your area.

The BEELD advertisement

Freetalk reached a milestone on the 30th of September when the first advertisement campaign was launched aiming to target the retail market. This ad had the purpose of introducing the Freetalk brand to the retail market and its intention to intrigue the retail market in how they can benefit from becoming a partner. This is a very exiting time for Freetalk, this is the start of a national advertising campaign where the target audience will move from the retail market to that of the general public. The statistics show that the campaign from the 30th September alone had considerable impact on the amount of site hits we have already received the last few days.
