None of us like complexity but we all benefit from compliance to current legislation, if in the very least is serves towards staying solvent and out of prison.  Ignorance is no excuse under the law which means you have to be across all of these workplace changes all the time for everything that affects your business and employees.  Today we review a number of significant changes that were introduced in December 2023 and a few more to be implemented in the coming months.  

And.. are you booked for SPLASH! Trade Expo in August on the Gold Coast yet? 
Of coarse you are - you are smart.

The new issue of SPLASH! is out and ready to read.  The cover feature  is AI in the Pool Industry and today we try to engage AI with limited success.   Always an interesting discussion to see if imminent changes are a threat or indeed an opportunity.

We do find success though taking a look in brief at the magazine content together.  Also, an interview from Daena Bougoure-Latchford who leads the industry drive towards consumers via the Pool & Spa Lifestyle brand.    Join Daena as she speaks with a marketing agency representing a major sponsor of the new TV program about how marketing, messaging and education has made a massive impact on this brands growth. 

Here we go.

Very special to be joined by full time pool industry champion and sometimes podcast host Luke Daly. In this episode we take a look at how consumers are engaging with our product offerings via the consumer shows in 2024.  We discuss whether consumers are turning up at all, if they are, are they ready to spend or are they pulling back in response to a tightening economy.  A reminder on the last days to nominate for industry awards for 2024 and to register for the Tax webinar because tax is not sexy, but paying as little as possible sure is.

A small preview into a massive event.... SPLASH! Trade Expo 2024!

With stagnating or arguably contracting economic conditions continuing for the foreseeable future, is it really worth investing in advertising, branding and consumer engagement?   We unpack this question with a zoom in on the recent Perth Pool & Spa Consumer Expo in WA where the January 2024 local state figures show that, unemployment rose,  retail prices contracted and overall spending was down.  Surely spending a chunk of marketing budget in that economic environment on trying to engage a consumer is foolish and wasteful.  Let's find out.

We also cover some other industry news and reveal more about the upcoming SPLASH! 2024 Expo.  You really do not want to miss this.

'Time Sensitive Tax Planning' are probably 4 words that have not considered compelling or sexy.  Today with the help of Ben from Inspire Accountants we tell you why this topic is a  compelling one.  If you want to pay more tax , or be less informed and less profitable and secure then give this one a miss.  If you do want to minimise tax and maximise your sustainable profitability then this is for you.

Ready. Set. SPLASH!
