Promotional umbrellas are a well-established choice for brands using umbrellas as a promotional tool for ongoing brand exposure, as well as a vehicle for capturing the attention of visitors at an event.
Everyone loves an umbrella and needs an umbrella, either as protection from the rain to keep dry or to shade from the sun! If you’re handing out promotional umbrellas at an event or that is part of a guerrilla marketing event then the umbrellas may be being handed out at a train station, on the high street or within a live event as a takeaway to be remembered by.
A company will choose a promotional umbrella to give to clients to boost business exposure. Therefore, it is essential that the umbrella promotional item should be of great quality and a product that will not disappoint the user. It should reflect the brand values of the company who have chosen to print their logo on the umbrella.
If you’re weighing up use-cases, costs and brand impact, our guide How Promotional Umbrellas Can Work for You breaks down when they perform best and why.
It can be hard to navigate the various promotional umbrella manufacturers online. Everyone is competing on price and speedy delivery. What you also need to consider when purchasing promotional umbrellas online is the quality of the product as well as the variety of models available to choose from. Finding the right umbrella promotional item is essential to your credentials. Selecting an inferior product will not set your apart from your competition, it will only highlight why the user should choose someone’s company.
There are hundreds of items to use for marketing. Choosing an umbrella promotional item ensures you are choosing repeated brand exposure, since each time the umbrella is opened up for use then the logo printed on it is displayed. If you’ve used an eye-catching design or bright colours then it will really set you apart from the competition. Many big brands choose this promotional item to promote their business and choose us to supply them. We made a great Wasp style umbrella that is quite unique, find it here on our blog.
Choosing the right umbrella for a promotion really depends on where you imagine the user will need the umbrella and the nature of your industry. Property developers tend to be seeing clients in urban spaces and therefore choose a walking umbrella or folding umbrella since they are better in busy spaces due to their size when open. Promotional golf umbrellas are usually chosen by sports companies who are expecting their users to be using the product in wide open spaces. Often seen on the race grid in motorsports championships, the umbrella is held over the competitor who is in race car or motorcycle.
Advertising umbrellas are a great choice for big messages on golf umbrellas due to their large branding estate.
Company umbrellas perfect for offering to employees as part of their uniform or Christmas gifting.
Corporate umbrellas are a great idea for branding and using in settings such as clubs, show homes or at events.
Giveaway umbrellas tend to be lightweight and used to send through the post for promotions.
Marketing umbrellas are a great investment to make the most of your budget to allow repeated brand exposure.
