kry meer

Explanation:
The translation of "get more" in that sentence would be "kry meer", but what concerns me more is the fact that that sentence does not make any sense. It reads like marketing material. If you want the Afrikaans to make sense and fit the purpose, you'll probably have to rewrite the entire sentence and throw out half of its existing meaning.

Alternatively, try "bied jou meer" (offers you more)..

Of course, within that sentence the pronoun would likely be between the verb and the adjective, as in "kry jy meer", but it depends on the way you translate the sentence.

If "Get more" is for a marketing slogan, then "Kry meer" is what you're looking for.
