Hi Elyse,  

Cooler Months Ahead:

So what happened to our lovely Autumn weather? I think that's what most of us are asking. All of a sudden we are searching for our winter coats and winter has not even started properly. Maybe it's time to consider new uniforms for the cold months ahead. The team at JEM have put together our 10 Favourite Corporate Uniform items (read below) so you can see what is the most popular items this time of year. Basically, we think uniforms can be fashionble even in Winter!

Our New Office: 

The team at JEM Promotional Products is now settling into our new premises. Even though it wasn't the easiest of things to do, the new place is a big improvement, with a better layout and more space so it was certainly worth it. We hope you can come in to new office sometime soon and share a cup of coffee with us. Our new address is Unit 10, 7-9 Progress Circuit, Prestons NSW 2170.

Biggest Morning Tea:

Talking about coffee (or tea) the Biggest Morning Tea is coming up on the 27th at 11.00. We have set it for the day after it is normally held so it does not clash with most of our clients own Biggest Morning Tea. We hope to see as many people on the day. It will be lovely to see as many clients as possible and share a cup of coffee or tea. We will have lots of delicious treats so please come along and help us raise much needed funds for the Cancer Council.

End of Financial Year:

The team at JEM Promotional Products is getting into end of financial year mode. There is so much to finalise before we have to stop everything and sit down and do our taxes. Not an easy task for most of us but unavoidable unfortunately. The team at JEM Promotional is working on overdrive at the moment. Our clients are aware that with the end of the financial year just around the corner many important projects need to be finalised. Also many marketing budgets must be spent or run the risk of having them cut back next year. We often suggest that in these cases that the best thing to do is not to spend it just for the sake of it but maybe consider the staple items that are often found in most office cupboards. These items can be products such as Post It Notes, Pens and even Coffee Mugs. Have them branded with Corporate Logos and be ready for when you need them throughout the year. If the products are branded then they are considered part of a marketing project and will serve various needs such as office stationery requirements but also be at hand when events such as Conferences or Product Launches come along thoughout the year.

Please do not hesiate to contact the team at JEM Promotional Products on (02) 8205 1334 or enquiries@jempp.com.au if you would like to discuss any product mentioned in our Newsletter.

This Vor-Tech fabric is a 3 layer laminated fabric. The face fabric is a 2 layered bonded lycra. The Vor-Tech membrane is micro-porous and laminated to the face fabricThe lining is a combination of woven fleece that is laminated on the inside of the Vor-Tech membrane and breathable windbreaker mesh. This layer serves two purposes. It protects the Vor-Tech membrane from abrasion and wear and dissipates body moisture over a large surface area. The micro-porous membrane has two features: it allows perspiration to escape through the pores in the membrane without allowing water in, and also acts as a wind breaker.

 At JEM Promotional Products we believe that there are many benefits associated with having a Corporate Uniform not only for the company but for the employee also. In our article The Benefits of a Company Uniform we outline what these benefits are, however in the below article we are only going to be focusing on the Tax benefits associated with Corporate Uniforms.   

Registered uniforms attract the following benefits:   

• Employers are exempt from Fringe Benefit Tax on any contributions they make toward the uniform.
• Employees are eligible for tax deductions for expenses incurred in the rental, purchase or maintenance of approved non-compulsory occupational clothing.
