We got notice of unauthorized re-prints of the Palapye Street Map being in circulation.

They can easily be identified:

- at the right bottom it reads: (c) Stamp Island Palapye @ 4900009

- it is only printed on one side, the following enterprises are NOT included:

Shocks and Exhaust Fitment Center, Builders Merchants Botswana, Trojan Security, CTM Palapye, R.A.Bailey, Gloryland Lodge, Wedding Cakes by Dimpho, The Secret Place, Raaps Motors, Roadwell Engineering, Palapye Plumbers, Palapye Hotel, Ecki’s Cabinets, Shakatika Cash & Carry, Reez Internet Cafe, Archiya, Corner Bottle Store, MC Holdings Hardware

- it is printed on a different paper

We have never authorized a re-print of the map and we would like to inform the public that we are still holding the copyright of the map.

Please inform us when you get notice of the re-prints. We will not publish your comment.

Thanks

A lot happened the last 2-3 weeks - time for an update:

1. The Palapye Street Map is finally printed and distributed!
   Thank you for all your patience and your support - the feedback we are getting is great!
   Please don’t be disappointed if you missed the chance for an advert on the first Street Map of Palapye……
2. Builders World Palapye is online!
   From now on you find detailed information about Builders World under Palapye.com. Every month you will find the Builders World’s Special updated on their homepage.
3. Desert Sands Motel joined Palapye.com!
   We are developing their own website DesertSandsMotel.com as well but for the time being Desert Sands Motel found a “online home” @ Palapye.com.
   Having now all types of accommodation under Palapye.com (a Hotel, a Guesthouse & a Camp) we are planning a extra page “Accommodation in Palapye”. Let’s see how we can place the page in the google ranking with all the big South African websites around.

While Stamp Island is busy printing our map (hopefully ready this week) - the “Google-Maps-Version”  is online!

Have a look @ Palapye.com/Maps

Please keep on posting comments & e-mails!

Thanks

…in the near future…

All advertisers of the Palapye Street Map will get their adverts displayed next to their directory entry:

If the advert was marked on the map there will be a link to Palapye.com Maps:

Thanks to Google Maps you will have full support on zoom & pan:

Or simply switch to Google Earth!

Page Format will be A3, probably printed on both sides.

The size of an advert is approximate 5.7cm (w) x 5.6 (h).

Please leave a comment (not public) or send an e-mail if you want to put your advert on the map and we will contact you for the details.

We will come up soon with a street map of Palapye which will be distributed free to the public.

Take your chance, put an advert on the map and your business gets marked on the map. No more driving around if your business partners are trying to find you !
Of course, you will get some of the first copies.

It’s a wonderful idea to book advertisement space on Palapye.com and on the Palapye Street Map. People from all over will recognize your business and they will find you with the help of the map.

If you are interested, please contact us: write a comment, visit us on on the web (Palapye.com) or send a message to marketing@palapye.com

There was this idea of setting up an Internet-Portal for our local community in Palapye. But what do people really want ? And what do people need ? Comments ?

We think Palapye.com should:

• supply news about Palapye, Botswana and Africa.
• support the local community to market their products worldwide.
• supply any information about the investment opportunities in Botswana for foreign investors.

We will keep on posting ideas & concepts to this Block.
