It can be tough to keep up with all of the new content that is published and what's new on the market, especially those of you that are within the tech industry and its ever-evolving ways. It is through our blog that we connect you with highlights and exciting news along the way. This year has been a big year for Jasco as we debuted a whole new line of Z-Wave Smart Switches, introduced more characters to our Projectables family, launched a new website and much more. We've recapped below some of Jasco's best news and helpful information from this year with our most popular blog posts you never meant to miss.

We're excited to announce the launch of our redesigned website and new checkout experience that allows consumers to shop thousands of products, ranging from smart home to LED lighting, and choose a cause that matters most to them at checkout. Shoppers on byjasco.com can now be a part of the solution to help people around the world by selecting a humanitarian cause after their purchase. Our new website is more than an improved design or mobile-friendly checkout experience, it’s about purchases that help save lives and impact communities around the world by donating 50% of net profits to causes that matter.

We are proud to announce a new line of Honeywell-branded Under Cabinet Lighting. Each product comes with a limited-lifetime warranty to provide peace of mind. Ideal for under cabinets and over cabinet lighting, this line of products uses long-lasting, energy efficient LED technology to eliminate the need for replacement bulbs. New product offerings now include premium LED light fixtures and accent lighting featuring linkable, dimmable, and flexible installation of stylish and modern lighting options. 

We're pleased to announce that Jasco recently increased the minimum hourly wage from $13 to $15. This starting pay more than doubles the current federal and state of Oklahoma minimum wage of $7.25. 

In addition to the starting pay of $15 per hour, a monthly profit-sharing program is offered to all team members, which averages around 15 percent additional pay each month. With the profit-sharing program and the increased wage, this typically translates to a starting wage of $17.25 per hour. 

Along with longer days, warmer weather and blooming flowers, spring also brings late severe weather. Your tech may be the last thing on your mind when a storm strikes, so it is important to plan ahead of time so that is one less thing to worry about. As an Oklahoma-based company, it is safe to say we are no strangers to unpredictable weather here at Jasco. That is why we put together a list of tips, products and resources to help you prepare for storm season, protect your gadgets and keep you safe for the months ahead.

Every time we turn around, there is a new phone, tablet or innovative technology coming out with brand new benefits outdoing the last. USB Type-C™ (or just USB-C) is one of those exciting new developments. Motorola and Samsung have recently debuted new devices with USB-C and other leading manufacturers like Google, LG, Apple and Dell have also built their latest and greatest devices with USB-C since last year.

The main benefits of USB-C include speed, power and ease-of-use. With USB-C, we will have much faster data transfer speeds, faster charging and a lot more power! We can finally decrease the amount of time we spend tethered to an outlet. USB-C can help reduce the number of cables needed as well. For example, the same cable used to charge a phone can also be used to supply power to a laptop as long as both devices have a USB-C port.
