Portfolio Art Posters Exhibition (PAPE) Volume 1 Issue 2 Invites Artist To Advertise Free

PAPE, i.e. Portfolio Art Posters Exhibition is one of my initiatives. The purpose is to try and rope in local artists, graphic designers to give them exposure through "Product Journalizing" instead of newspaper advertising. Consequences of level 5 log down in the epic attack of COVID-19 has left many local SMME's, musicians and artists broke and hungry without alternative employment solutions.

Example of PAPE Art Exhibition

Product Journalizing with PAPE 

Background of PAPE Mission

The mission of PAPE while the intension is to offer goods and services through "Visual Advertising". The objective is more than to raise awareness to small business brands. A brand can be anyone or person selling goods or a specialized services, with a product cover page brochure or ad. 

To raise funds and to support South African township artist, and graphic designer talent and skills. Our local  economy especially "self-employed individuals" and "entrepreneurs" do not have adequate and consistent strategic platforms to showcase their merchandise to a wider market, and tap for growth beyond their product footprint.

Constraints Facing Local SMME and Artists Growth - Is To Think Small!

Local SME businesses and traders seem to be concentrating on local street buyers' traffic. Instead they should be looking beyond that scope of current local buyers. Whence, PAPE exists to break this paradigm and convention, by venturing into "product journalizing". 

We have to learn to invent new ways to find clients and customers, in unexpected places because our world has become a Global Village. Anyone anywhere is a potential client to your services or business

What is Product Journalizing?

Well! let's see if this will make any sense: Thesaurus describes the synonyms of  "journalize" as: "journalism", ", journal" and "communalize". The main reason I want to journalize my products, services or any other clients' items is simple; as opposed to normal traditional advertising on magazines or newspaper advertising. 

I hope my reasons below will justify the amount of load I'll be undertaking to prove a point. The results of this will probably yield long-term fruits instead of address any short term business goals.

  1. To improve the odds of low budget struggling entrepreneurs, artists, graphic designers to reach a wider market of the local buyer - by becoming regional.
  2. We must find a more creative way to reach and scope a larger regional; if not an international potential market for us to grow and our services to expand.
  3. Give more exposure to these services and goods the opportunity to feature in a large Google search engine. This must be supported by your business website, social media or other alternatives.
  4. To create a new form of promotion for unique buyers like, Kindle readers, Book buyers, and the growing appetite for new media to find us.
  5. To explore benefits of the definition by Thesaurus i.e. "Communalize" or "Journalize" these services and for libraries to archive our  services in keeping with modern technology renewal.
Having said that! I personally think that the future of making our businesses and services known, will be to "Keep-A-Consistent-Record" of what we offer and do in our enterprises. I do not expect any excitement from people and businesses, as this will require dedication and commitment. I'm trying to invite those who have eyes and the vision about the future.

WHY?
Because, this approach might seems like newspaper or magazine advertising, and therefore it will come at a cost. The answer, currently is no! Perhaps a minimal setup fee. As most businesses have their banners and ads ready to flight anywhere.

It is not a newspaper nor is it a magazine, Rather; - it is a journal with deliberate efforts and dates for a calculated planned strategical to showcase more of these products in various places on the Internet to rank our business or services.

How Is This Achieved?

Let's assume that your business has a product catalog or brochure and several items in your enterprise that you need to find exact buyers for. Instead of distributing the catalog for the entire range. You only promote one service or product using a product cover page as an advert.

The Product Cover Page is what PAPE is all about "give more exposure" to the cover page. To promote any business, services or product by merely placing it on our collection of journals. My journals have various categories where these services can be showcased. (View the slideshow below).

  • Step.1 -This product cover page entices the customer to have an overview of the product or services. Thereafter, entices him to seeks more information about details of this product or service. 
  • Step.2 -From the product cover page, we provide information that will lead the customer to your website or digital product catalog or place where the service can be accessed or seen by the customer.
  • Step.3 -These details can be accessed via your website link, email address, contact cellphone or online digital product catalog.
  • Step.4 - What the PAPE concept tries to do is to kill two birds with one stone. How? Well, first and foremost - some product cover pages can be so good, to a point of becoming the product itself.
  • Step.5 - Create an appetite for people and customers to read our product journal, as and when it is published. The market for online newspapers, magazine and product journals is over a billion readers per month worldwide. I encourage your business to feature itself here.

PAPE Comes In Three Forms - Formats

You can advertise your banner or artist portfolio, products, goods or services with your ad. This however, must comply with our basic requirements to showcase your wares on our PAPE exhibition list.

  1. PAPE Cover Page  for (SME & Graphic Designers)
  2. PAPE Banner Exhibition for (Artists or Musicians & Fashion)
  3. PAPE As a Voice of Political Revolt for (Social Activists and Communities)

These are best desirable methods we want to utilize to market and promote artists, SME's, graphic designers on our publications and websites. Sample clients product services, prior to being showcased on PAPE. Click Here

    Is this how history is recorded by writing and keeping journals? I notice the African folks, do not seem to record and pen their history. The only person I know who has kept the culture of African Wisdom and knowledge is Dr. Credo Mutwa. The rest of African knowledge just goes unwritten and later on claimed by white authors and historians. Why is this?

My Political Contribution To South Africa's Liberation Against Apartheid Struggle

My Political Contribution of Art Exhibitions To South Africa's  Liberation Against Apartheid Struggle. Isaac Khonjelwayo Paintings and Art Collection reminisce the fight against Apartheid - Since 1976. On my arrival at the South African refugee camp I was received and hosted by Mr. Lefifi Tladi  & Khush. Lefifi was from Garankuwa and Khush, his colleague as I had known him came from Soweto somewhere in Tladi or Naledi. They were custodians and important political hosts who connected local guys with overseas escape travels and routes to Africa and parts of USA, Canada and UK. They showed me around the camp and who was who from South Africa in Gaborone - Botswana. The camp was truly a place of solace for these youth who got displaced in the capsule of time. I was relieved to see my cousin Simon Kgasi, he too was shocked to see me. Lefifi Tladi and Khush interviewed me to establish my plan and intentions for coming to Botswana. They explained the rules and conditions...

Potential Naturena Primary Transport Accident - Post 2000

 It doesn't take a fool to know and to read between the lines or see signs of danger when children together with adults ignore Joburg City By-law   street signs and simple road safety precautions to avoid a major disaster.  For the last past 20 years I watched and observed Naturena School children, their siblings, mothers, motorists, taxi drivers, brothers and little sisters; cross the road toward the school without observing the stop signs and cross roads rules. Slowly It Builds Up Like A Preparation - For A Terrible Potential Disaster Waiting To Happen: Malta, Natuur and Vesting street in Naturena are high traffic congested roads in the mornings from 06:00 a.m. and 13:30 p.m. In between during the day you have taxis driving like crazy rogues not observing and adhering to the stop signs. From 03:00 pm to 06:00 p.m. it picks up again with afternoon traffic madness of homeowners coming back from work. Residents too do not seem to care much about safety and precaution...

Life is a School created by God for people to learn from each other. Each person belongs to a different class and standard and each person will have parents, friends, acquaintances or associates and the church to guide them through various stages of personal challenges in order to grow.

Dear Naturena Primary School, Principal, Parents, JMPD, Councillor, SGB, and School Transport Drivers, I pen this letter with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency, imploring all stakeholders to heed the call for immediate action regarding the safety and well-being of our community, particularly around the vicinity of Corner Vesting and Malta Streets NATURENA near the UJ student residences .

The situation has reached a tipping point, with our streets congested by school transport vehicles, children left vulnerable to potential accidents, and our once-pristine gardens littered with refuse and discarded sweets. If You Were In My Shoes - Would'nt ...

Rising from the Ashes: A Call to Rebuild South Africa

The Crossroads of Hope and Despair Dear fellow South African Citizens I sit and write on my computer today, not as a great leader, but as a humble voice, echoing the dreams of those who came before us. Our beloved South Africa finds itself at a crossroads, where the shadows of despair threaten to engulf the light of hope. The ANC, once a symbol of liberation, has faltered, and our nation stands on the precipice of a calamity. But let us remember, even in the darkest of hours, that the power to change lies within us, the sons and daughters of this magnificent land. We are the architects of our destiny, and together, we can salvage and save our beloved nation. Ubuntu: The Spirit of Togetherness First, let us unite as one people, transcending the divisions that have plagued us. Let us remember the spirit of Ubuntu, for in unity, we find strength. No matter your background, race, or creed, we are all South Africans, bound by a shared dream of prosperity and peace. Education: The Key to Our...
