INTRODUCTION
The Gremlin is an online news and information website for the Eden District [Garden Route & Klein | Little Karoo].
- A selection of the latest International, National, Business and Sports News
- All the latest Local News
- Some commentary
- The Latest Press Releases & Opinion Pieces
READERSHIP & DEMOGRAPHICS
I launched The Gremlin in October 2009 with fewer than 100 readers.
The Gremlin is aimed at the small business owner, management, and other decision-makers, as well as recently retired individuals who are still economically active. The site’s demographics reflect this, as 65%+ of my readers are in the 35 to 60 age group in the LSM6 and upwards categories. The gender split is roughly 60% male and 40% female.
AIM
The Gremlin is primarily aimed at creating a platform to give exposure to my web hosting clients. However, there are various advertising opportunities for all Companies.
OBJECTIVES
- To provide a reliable, consistent, and up-to-date stream of news and information – free from cheap sensationalism and outside influence.
- To be a central hub for news and information.
- To be an advertising platform for locally-owned and operated businesses, as well as those whose products and services are relevant to businesses and individuals living in the Eden District.
- To actively engage with readers on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
- To actively inform followers and promote local businesses on these three social media platforms.
ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES
The Gremlin offers a platform where Companies may publish their regular Press Releases and Opinion Pieces.
