Happy Holidays everyone

As 2014 comes to a close, we'd like to take a moment to reflect and count our blessings. It has been a tumultuous year due to many shocking events that took place all over the world. However, the human spirit is resilient and we have managed to survive these losses and look forward to a new year.

LJ Vernus would just like to thank our family, friends and colleagues for all the support they've shown this year. Granted, we might have only met for a brief while at a conference or we have only communicated via the phone and email, but each and every one of you are important in helping us pave our way to success.

We hope that 2014 have been a good year for you and we look forward to creating more meaningful relationships with not only family and friends, but also to our business partners.

With that, we'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The CSR Edition

What goes around, comes around.

In view of the upcoming festive season, LJ Vernus has taken some time off to slow down and do our part for charity. But this time, we have also engaged the participation of 2 other local companies to join us.

Together with Silver Negative Studios and Global Project Services, we have managed to purchase and deliver 24 cartons of basic commodities which included Milo, condensed milk and assorted jams for the residents of an old folks home. 

On the 9th December 2014, various members from each company headed down to the home with the commodities in tow. We also had the pleasure of touring the premises and meeting some of the residents there.

A banded effort

This year, LJ Vernus had decided to take CSR to another level. As a SME, we realize that we want to make a bigger impact on society, but due to the lack of resources, it is difficult for us to organize an elaborate CSR plan. This is where the Inter Business CSR Initiative comes into the picture. 

We aim to get more SMEs on board so that we can plan and execute bigger CSR initiatives such as fundraising days, donation drives, excursion trips and many more. Also, considering that most SMEs do not have a dedicated CSR department, we also aim to provide the infrastructure to save time and energy.

A stepping stone

We've decided on a simple donation drive as our first step. At the moment, there are 3 companies on board, being, LJ Vernus, Silver Negative Studios and Global Projects Services. As the new year approaches, we hope to add more companies via word of mouth and future marketing plans.

Here are some pictures from our December 9 charity drive!

Happy National Day Singapore!

Home is where the heart is!

To all Singaporeans, and not forgetting those who are abroad, have a wonderful National Day. We hope you're looking forward to the parade and fireworks tomorrow!

LJ VERNUS WILL BE EXHIBITING AT THE SME EXPO 2014

30 June 2014, SINGAPORE – LJ Vernus will be exhibiting at the upcoming SMExpo 2014 in an effort to educate and reach out to more businesses regarding their specialization on trademark services.

The SMExpo 2014, which is organized by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, will be LJ Vernus’s first exhibition. Taking place at the Marina Bay Sands on both 20th and 21st August 2014, LJ Vernus will be on site to explain to business owners the importance of intellectual property rights and eliminate any misconceptions that most business owners have regarding the trademark process.

Director of LJ Vernus, Mr Edward Jui, commented that, “Most business owners, especially SMEs, do not realize the importance of trademarking their brand until it is too late. We want to let them know that it is not an expensive nor a complicated process.”

The SMExpo 2014 is organized in conjunction with the Annual SMEs Conference and Infocomm Commerce Conference. Other than private business owners, 12 different governmental bodies will also be there to showcase the different schemes and grants opened to SMEs owners.
