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?

Naturena P. School Urgent Call for Action: Ensuring Safety and Order in Our Neighborhood

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 . For far too long, our neighborhood has been plagued by a myriad of issues that compromise the safety, cleanliness, and tranquility of our surroundings. For years now, concerned residents and parents have been raising alarm bells regarding the chaos and disorder that ensue during peak hours, especially in the mornings and after school hours. 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.

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...

Talent Search To Reduce High Unemployment Rate In South Africa For Struggling Citizens

South Africa's job marketing, prospects for in 2021 was a bad and serious issue that continues to affect our economy. A majority of our South African unemployed citizens have talent that is underutilized. Some of their gift's and potential is slowly decaying. I guess this might be because of laziness or poor advise from peers. Lack of mentorships and guidance from proactive teachers, parents, schools and adults.  Complacency and poor judgement about the future has affected their point of view to align themselves with world needs, to cope. Let alone mixing with a bad company to end addiction. Nigerians and Pakistanis' spaza shops drug peddling has taken root and control of our environments. The government doesn't even care to address this serious social maladjustment issue. Unemployed Talent Search   Statistics of Unemployment In South Africa, Requires A New Way of Hustling To Gain Favour From The "Gods".    Other reasons for complacency, could simply be; poor ...

South Africans Are The Only People To Decide The Fate of Our Politics

South Africans Are The Only People To Decide The Fate of Our Political Landscape…  We need a different plan for South Africa all together, to create an equal opportunity and fair distribution of wealth and job opportunities for all our legitimate citizens. Those who are in positions of power and authority should do something right for the first time for the country and alter the cause of history in the hands of the failing ANC. We can conform to complacency and become redundant as a people; or we can begin to challenge convention – through an intelligent conversation or; we can move against the grain to save the country from calamity, corruption and junk status – even let it R.I.P. Is The Country S.A. Also Part Of The Curse By The Gods? This means we become a replica of Zimbabwe and those ailing African States that are facing similar challenges of leadership malnutrition to visual impairment to read the future and save themselves from their own self-engineered demise.
