On 1 March 2019, GaloreSA started as an idea. A small idea with just Twitter and around 15 followers.
We then decided to give more exposure to the events we attend, to convey these over to our readers. The GaloreSA Facebook and Instagram were born and last year Tik Tok as well.
On these 4 platforms we have around 26 000 readers, growing monthly.
Due to limitation on words and letters on Twitter, we also created a website, which has gone through several metamorphosis over the past 3 years. November 2021, we launched our totally revamped and modern website, www.galoresa.online, all thanks to Alternative Media.
On our website we have an average unique visitor status of 23 000 per month.
We have also created ad space on our front landing pages where we now give opportunity to people, companies and events to advertise.
Our two biggest achievements were winning the SA Blog Awards as the Best Entertainment Blog in 2019. This was after a mere 8 months of starting GaloreSA.
In 2020 we got nominated and was a finalist in the New Gen Awards as Best Blog.
And our biggie was winning a Presidential Award for Advancement in The PRISA PRISM awards 2022.
GaloreSA was officially registered as a PTY LTD in 2020 and have full business trading capacities.
We do nearly everything. We have a couple of niches we give attention to which is Entertainment, Travel and Lifestyle. The areas we do not cover at all is politics, religion, and gender related topics. Further on, Galore means “in abundance”, and that is exactly what we provide to our readers. A bit of everything in big format.
We have also given away over R50 000 in prizes over the past three years. We’ve attended over 300 shows and events and have published nearly 2000 articles from our friends at PR Companies. We currently have nearly 200 PR companies which makes use of our services to assist them in publishing articles on our social media sites and website and a couple of private clients who wishes to use us directly.
GaloreSA consists of two people. Quinton Baillie and Sarel van Vuuren. Both are full time employees at International Companies and work 8-5 Mondays to Fridays. GaloreSA then gets run after hours and on weekends with our main goal to run GaloreSA full time in the next 5 years.
