Protect yourself this summer!

Summer is that time of year of holidays, beaches, and outdoor music festivals. It is also the time of year when the sun is most harsh.

Australian families all worry about the effect of over-exposure to the sun and the potential harm it can cause. Now there is a new way of protecting yourself this summer, a UV Indictator. At a glance you can now see your exposure to harmful UVA and UVB radiation. It changes colour to let you know when you need to apply your sunscreen and when to seek shade.

Purple Indicates first intial exposure to the sun.

Brown indicates that is time to re-apply your sunscreen

Yellow indicates that it is now time to seek shade and get out of the sun.

Not only will it protect you and your family this summer it is also a great marketing tool for companies to be exposed to the public whether it be for a concert, festival, or a charity event, It will also show that your company is sun conscious and is looking out for your co - workers and clients

Make Up Brushes: A Fantastic Promotional Product!

Many people assume that make up brushes are more of a retail oriented product however has any one considered these brushes for a promotional purpose??

I can tell you that I have so many make up brushes at home - one for blush, one for my eyes, one for my eyelashes and I can go on for ages listing all the brushes that are out there. One thing I can tell you is that I definitely use these brushes each and everyday - plus taking them along with me on holidays.

For such a small and convenient item it would be stupid to not use them to get your brand out there. Especially for beauty industries these brushes can be easily related to your products (cosmetics or even skin care!).

You might not even think of us for providing make up brushes but YES! JEM Promotional has brush packages that are fantastic for branding - it will also be great as a cute gift!

If you would like more information on any beauty related products please don't hesitate to contact the team at JEM.

12 very cool coffee mug designs

After I saw Maria's blog on the coffee mug that can be printed all over and thought how different and unusual it was our office decided to go on a hunt for the most unique and unusual coffee mugs we could find and this is what we came across on WebUrbanist:

On-Off Mug

This mug, covered with heat sensitive pigment, changes from black to white (or vice versa) depending on whether it’s full or not, and how full it is. Furthermore, it also shows ‘on’ or ‘off’ as you fill it, or gulp the coffee/tea down. This, of course, comes in handy in preventing spills as you can tell which mugs on the table are full and which are empty. However, since the pigment is activated by heat, don’t expect it to work at room temperature.

The Pessimist’s Mug

Are you a glass half-full or glass half-empty type of person.

Amazing Self-Stirring Coffee Mug

This amazing self stirring mug is perfect for lovers of coffee, tea, cocoa, hot chocolate or whatever your favorite beverage may be. Imagine adding cream and sugar to your coffee and pushing a button to stir your coffee. No more messy stir sticks or coffee spoons!

Global Warming Mug

Why not address global warming over your morning cup of coffee in a subtle way.

Stacked Coffee Mugs


I love this mug because it is very unusual; it is almost like a piece of art.

Alcatraz Replica Mug

A replica of the mug used in Alcatraz Prison

Crinkle Cups by Robert Brandt



Mugs that look like disposable cups. These would be great for an environmental campaign where you could push the message that you should re-use your coffee mug so that pollution is not created as a result of disposable cups being made.

Dunk Mug with Biscuit Holder



Transforming Mugs



Skase Teacup Set

source: steve watson)

The concept behind the Skase teacup set is as beautiful as the resulting product. Watson describes his creation as based on the idea of symbiosis, i.e., just because two different elements have had a prolonged association, that doesn’t mean they necessarily benefit each other. Applying that concept to the relationship between a (flat-based) teacup and a saucer, Watson has removed both the flat base and the saucer while giving the cup a unique design without taking away the balance and stability.

MyCuppa Mug -Tea and Coffee

I wish everyone at my house had this mug because I never seem to make their coffee's quite right.

If you are bored with the same old mug and want to give your clients or staff something unique we are able to custom make mugs to your specifications. For more information please contact our sales team on enquiries@jempp.com.au or (02) 8205 1334

Do you have any other mugs to suggest for our blog? Leave us a comment and let us know.

Purple... The New Black?

Purple... a colour that represents loyalty, nobility and spiritually.

A mysterious colour that combines a mixture of hot red and cool blue produces the hottest colour trend.



Different shades of purple suggests different meanings such as:

Deep or Bright Purple represents possessions whilst Lighter Purple suggest a more romantic and delicate environment.

Colour is an important symbolization to many companies. Most companies have a particular colour/s that is used throughout their logo (also known as a PMS colour - Pantone Matching System).

Here at JEM Promotions we have a wide range of colours with many of our products which can cater to your company's specification.
Basic products such as tote bags, pens, apparel, mugs and even umbrellas are all available in certain colours such as purple...

Not only does JEM provide a wide variety of colour ranges but we also have the ability to PMS Match your colour to certain products. To find out more about this service please contact the the team at JEM.

The Snuggie: a wearable blanket

I was watching Jay Leno last night and he mentioned this unusual product called The Snuggie. The concept behind it is that it is a blanket with sleeves so that you can wear it and still do practical things like toast marshmallows over the open fire or knit ha ha ha

Now is it just me or do all the people in this commercial look like they are either students graduating or a group of people trying to start a religious sect???

You know the product in itself has some merit but I have a feeling that if you put your robe on backwards you would end up with the same result.

So you think you have seen it all when it comes to Coffee Mugs?

Well, that's what I thought! We at JEM Promotional Products were really impressed when we looked closer at the print options on these coffee mugs. We thought coffee mug decoration methods had gone as far as possible, with printing almost to the lip of the mug and almost to the handle but just look how far we can go with this new mug. Inside, outside, bottom and even the handle!

So if you are looking for something unique that is truly able to be customised with your original artwork then this is the product for you. This mug would be perfect for a gift with purchase marketing campaign so don't hesitate to contact us on enquiries@jempp.com.au for more information on creating a promotional coffee mug that will no doubt create a 'stir' in the market place.

However, if you are just looking for standard coffee mugs, we have plenty of those too! Please visit our Ceramic Mugs section to see our full range.

Promotional Product Placement

No there is no typo in my title, the topic I am discussing today is Promotional Product Placement in movies and TV shows as opposed to traditional Product Placement. In its traditional sense Product Placement involved the subtle use of a product in a movie or a tv show from something as small as the leading actor drinking a certain type of beer to as big as the leading actor driving a certain type of car.

At first consumers didn't really realise they were being advertised to but slowly they have caught on and strangely enough consumers do not seem to mind. I think the key to this is that the movie is not distributed by the advertising, it just subtlety fits in unlike a TV Commercial that disrupts the program. I know that as soon as a commercial hits I flick the channel and I always skip the movie previews but I sincerely doubt I would stop watching a movie just because someone drinks a certain type of drink or wears certain clothes.

In the future we may see an even more subtle approach to product placement where instead of seeing the use of a product we will just see a promotional product being used. For example, I was watching Transformers this weekend and the lead character Sam Witwiki wears a The Strokes t-shirt for a large amount during the movie. I am not overally familiar with The Stroke's music so I am not sure if it was also played during the movie but I will definately pay more attention in the future to this band because of the Promotional Product Placement.

Product Placement is expanding from the traditional platform of movies into other mediums including Console Games. With consumers becoming more and more frustrated with advertisers that take aggressive approaches like telephone canvassing there will definately be a trend to more subtle approaches like Promotional Product Placement in movies and TV Shows.

If you are looking into Promotional Product Placement for a movie or TV show and would like some suggestions on suitable products please contact our sales team at enquiries@jempp.com.au or (02) 8205 1334.

Sweet As Candy

Jucy Couture has a sweet tooth for marketing when it comes to packaging their collection to resemble lollipops, ice cream and bon bons.

With such smart and creative marketing, other well known brands such as Victoria's Secret have been told to stop selling products that are similar to their sweet candy range.

Now with today's popular demand for sweet candy products such as lip gloss, fragrances, body lotion and now apparel, it just clearly proves how clever marketing can create such a stir.

At JEM we offer a wide variety of confectionery such as Mints, Lollipops, Gummi Bears, Candy Canes, Chocolates and the list goes on...








All these confectionery can be branded with your company logo and details. For such a cost effective promotional product it creates massive exposure. Confectionery are great for Fund Raising, Pharmaceutical Industries, Fashion Events, Hospitality etc...

Victoria's Secret: Using American Apparel Bags For Branding!

Victoria's Secret is known for their stunning models, bras and lingerie. However they have expanded their range from sexy lingerie to stylish GYM BAGS which has just been released to their 'Pink Collection'.

This bag comes from America's largest manufacturer - American Apparel. We at JEM Promotional Products are wholesalers of American Apparel therefore products such as this gym bag will be available directly through us.

Not only that, but here at JEM we can also brand the bag with your company logo (just like the Victoria's Secret one!). Now that this bag is new on the fashion market, what better way to promote your brand then to grab one of these gym bags and put your logo on it (they're much better then the boring bags you get when you sign up to the gym don't you think??)

If you wish to promote your brand with a more fashionable and stylish look to it please contact the team at JEM as we can help source fashion statement products that will sure make your brand wanted!

JEM Promotional Products featured in this week's Liverpool Champion

Green: John Cabral, owner of JEM Promotions, said Symmetry Sustainable Business mentor Bill Parker (right) has helped him to make his business more environmentally sustainable and also saved him money.

JEM Promotional Products has had a strong environmental focus since its inception and we are a market leader within the promotional products industry with our innovative environmental strategies. One of the programs we are involved with is Symmetry and we actually featured in the Liverpool Champoin this week with Bill who is our mentor in the program.

Sorry about the small size of the image above; here is the text from the article:

How to be green and save money

10/12/2008 9:31:00 AM

SAVING the environment and saving money are not concepts that usually go together in the business world.

Bill Parker of Symmetry Sustainable Business said that that's why most small businesses avoid pursuing environmentally friendly practices because they don't think they are within their budget.

``But they don't realise that they can do some simple things that will help the environment and actually save them money in the long run,'' Mr Parker said.

``Through Symmetry I help businesses that have 20 employees or less to pick up some really simple hints on how to lower their operating costs.

``I go in and do an assessment of how they operate and then make some suggestions about how they could be more environmentally sustainable.

``For example, a simple thing that every business can do is start up double-sided printing. Usually this only requires a minor adjustment to their printers and they can print on both sides of the page, saving themselves thousands of dollars in paper costs, with just a few minutes work.''

The AusIndustry sponsored program, which is now provided through the Liverpool office of the Macarthur Business Enterprise Centre, is run with a $50 nominal fee for businesses, but Mr Parker said it is worth thousands.

Mr Parker's first client has been JEM Promotions, a marketing company which develops and produces merchandise.

Owner John Cabra said that he and his team have always been environmentally conscious.

``That's part of our focus here, to make goods out of recycled materials and pursue more sustainable ways of doing things,'' Mr Cabral said.

``Before Bill came in we had a separate copier, printer and fax. He told us to purchase a machine that does all three it's a lot more energy efficient.''

Innovative Product: Novelty Contact Lenses

I came across this product today and definately thought it was blog worthy...novelty contact lenses. The lenses are not prescribed in anyway and are manufactured by Bescon. The photos below have not been photo-shopped at all and are literally someone wearing novelty contact lenses:

I wonder if this product could translate into the promotional market. Imagine having every staff member in JB Hi-Fi wearing branded contact lenses that promote the latest Fall Out Boy album, it would definately be a talking point and would get every person that walks into the store thinking about that album.

Custom Made Keyring Post #1

In my view custom key rings are the ultimate Promotional Marketing idea. They are inexpensive to produce, can be made in a range of shapes and materials and they are fun!!! Promotional Merchandise should be fun and it should promote your brand while being great value for money.

People have keys for their cars, homes, offices. Keyrings are important in people's lives and they see your brand every time they use their keys.

So every day here at JEM promotional I extol, recommend, suggest custom keyrings as an great idea for almost every clent big and small. So much so my colleagues are sick of hearing about it. So I will be telling the blog sphere instead. Or as well as. Please feel free to comment, encourage or otherwise in my lonely quest to bring the humble promotional custom made keyring to where it should be at the the very apex of western society!

But where to start? How do we embark on our journey? Why with the most recent custom keyring order we have placed. The Campbletown Catholic Club, could have had their logo printed or engraved on a boring old square keyring. But no. In their wisdom, they elected a custom made ring that followed the contours of their crown logo. Simple. Elegant. Effective.

From one single blog great things have begun!!!

Please feel free to look at our Custom Keyring web page here

Or email an enquiry for custom made keyrings. Send email now

The Promotional Lip Care Collection...

At JEM Promotional Products we offer a wide variety of lip care for any occasion. Our lip care ranges from Lip Balm Tubes, Pots, Tins, Jars and even Lip Gloss!!
Various flavours and colours are available - we even offer SPF30+ with many of our lip balms.



Our range of Lip Care Collection can be printed with your company logo and details.
We also offer an option of a full colour process sticker label for the more complicated designs.

The Lip Care Collection is fantastic for industries such as health and beauty, fashion events, golf days, retail stores or even magazine incentives.

A great promotional product that is sure to stay in the ladies bag!

The Power of Promotional Products: the SMILE Sticker

I was at the Homebake Festival on the weekend and as I was sitting having my lunch I was approached by a lady to buy a SMILE sticker. I instantly got my money out and donated some money to buy a sticker. The SMILE stickers have been around for as long as I can remember and I think I would have bought between 20 and 30 of them in my life so far. In the past I would have bought my sticker and that would be all; now that I work in the Promotional Products Industry I take more notice of situations like this. I think that the SMILE stickers are a great example of the power of promotional products. By selling a simple sticker with the same design for many years much needed funds have been raised to assist the homeless. I think one of the reasons for success with this intiative is the design has always remained the same at least for as long as I can remember. It just means that when I get approached at a festival or event I instantly see the design and know what I am supporting by purchasing the sticker.

There is one way that the iniative could be improved and that would be to include a website on the sticker. When I went to write this blog I tried to find the organisation who sells the stickers so that I could promote it on the blog and wasn't able to. On every promotional item you brand you should always try and put at least one contact detail so that if people are interested they can find out more about what you were promoting.

Promotional Products are one of the most effective ways for charities to raise money. JEM Promotioal Products have a whole range of Charity Promotional Products that can be sold to raise money for organisations. If you would like any other suggestions for products please contact our Sales Representatives on (02) 8205 1334 or enquiries@jempp.com.au

Featured Australia Day Product: Australian Cork Hat

You may have noticed that JEM Promotional Products have been featuring some products through our Website and Promotions for Australia Day. In our promotion we included Temporary Tattoos, Australian Flag Pens, Aboriginal Boomerang Keyring, a Map of Australia Keyring, Australia Flag Stress Reliever, Aussie Cheering Hand, Australia Cap, Aboriginal Flag Cap, Australian Flag Summer Beach Towel, Outback Australia Promotional Items, Stubby Holder, Thongs, Singlet, Cooler Tub, BBQ Apron, BBQ Tools and a three Akubra Hats - The Akubra Cattleman Hat, The Croc Akubra hat and the Akubra Casablanca hat.

Another product that we would recommend for Australia Day is the Australian Cork Hat. The cork hat started out being warn by jackaroos and swagmen to fend off the flies but has since become one of the iconic symbols of Autralian culture. Many people wonder why corks are used instead of another item and the main theory is that because of the low-weight of a cork they can hang from the hat without the hat becoming too heavy for the wearer to be comfortable.

If you would like to enquire about braning your cork hats for your Australia Day event please contact JEM Promotional Products on (02) 8205 1334 or enquiries@jempp.com.au.

To see our full range of Australia Day products follow this link to our Australia Day Merchandise Promotion or view our Australia Day Products section on our website.

Innovative Product Distribution Channels

After our Christmas Party on Friday a few of us went for drinks at Trademark Hotel. When I went to the bathroom I noticed this dispenser on the wall. Ladies are able to purchase a range of lipglosses, a compact and even perfume all from this dispenser located in the venue's bathroom. It is great for women who carry a small bag in the evening because there is not a lot of room in our handbags to store all these things. It would be even better if they could also get a GHD unit like Establishment Hotel where you can pay $2 and use a GHD to fix your hair in the ladies bathroom.

I love coming across companies who think outside of the square and identify different channels to distribute their product through. I think another great example is Krispy Kreme and selling their donuts through schools and similar organisations as a fundraising product. Not only were they able to expand their distribution channel in a huge way they also increased their sales force with other people selling their product for them.

JEM's Promotional Products celebrate Christmas

JEM Promotional Products had our Christmas party on Friday night. We started at Bayswater Brasserie in Kings Cross where we enjoyed a lovely dinner and cocktails. Afterwords some of the team kicked on to Trademark Hotel and Mansion's. It was a fantastic night and we are looking forward to a great year in 2009. Here are some photos from the night:

Seeds sticks for the International market

Seedsticks are a fantastic Promotional Marketing idea produced in Australia, that JEM Promotional have experience of exporting to countries around the world.

Seedsticks are a range of products that containing seeds that you can custom print the packaging. You can read more about seedsticks seedsticks here

Recently we produced some seed sticks for a client in Hong Kong. The seedsticks were such a hit, that they were written up in the Hong Kong Interferry Daily.

The excerpt is saved here as a picture. The text says:


"Talking of gifts, a big thank you to all of our sponsors - didn't delegates do well! One novel gift that caught our eye was from Australian maritime consultancy, Thomas Clarke. Their pack of seed sticks for lemon scented trees came with the thought provoking line "all things start small.."

If you would like more information about importing and ordering seedsticks from a country outside of Australia for a promotion, please email us at enquiries@jempp.com.au

Fair Trading...is it possible in the promotional products industry?

This question has been on my mind for quite a while, not just because some of our clients have asked it but because I too would like to know if fair trading is possible - especially in the promotional products industry. Everyone seems to think that it is an impossibilty; but just because it's hard, it doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

Recently, I was pleasantly suprised when I came across a range of promotional products, that appears to make the impossible - a reality. The range is 3Fish promotional products, which includes some really great looking products that not only are certified as Fair Trading products but are also produced from Organic Cotton.

I must say after 8 years in the promotional products industry I thought I had seen it all -but this range has really inspired me. Maybe we can finally make a difference!

Fairtrade Certified cotton brings many social and environmental benefits to the farmers involved in its cultivation including increased income, community development, organisation of co-ops, responsible and mostly organic farming, prohibition of genetically modified cotton seed and crop diversification.

So if you are looking at doing some branded promotional products now is the time to look at our new range of Fair Trade and Organic Cotton products. They are all labelled so your clients can also be encouraged to follow suit - one person at a time. Hey..maybe fair trading is possible after all!

JEM bares their feet to reduce their carbon footprint

Last week Lindsey and I attended the Business goes Barefoot event in Sydney. As part of Zero Footprint Week Sydney business people were invited to get back to nature in the CBD, taking their shoes off for the sustainability in business social networking event, Business Goes Barefoot held on the lawns of the Museum of Contemporary Art.

JEM Promotional Products has had a strong environmental focus since its inception and wanted to help out in any way we could so we supplied some Seedsticks Greeting Cards and BIC Ecolution Pens which are made from a material containing an average of 67% pre-consumer recycled plastic. We are hoping that there will now be more awareness in corporate businesses that there are environmentally friendly alternatives for merchandise.

Here are some of the photos we took at the event:
