Grab an Umbrella for a Promotional Hit!

Grab an Umbrella for a Promotional Hit!

Promotional Umbrellas have proved a great success in the promotional product world and have gone down a storm with customers, employees and business associates. The reason that they are so popular is due to the fact that they are so usable, that they will always be a welcome gift. Of course you will want to choose an umbrella of relatively high quality as with any promotional gift as they are representing and advertising your company. So if you are looking for a good quality gift that someone will be pleased to have then look no further than a promotional umbrella.

Added to the fact already discussed that umbrellas are a welcome gift due to their usability, they are also welcome as they do not come cheap to buy in shops. If someone is looking to buy a good quality umbrella in a shop it is going to cost them in the region of £15- £25, definitely not a cheap throwaway item. Especially when you think how easy it is to lose an umbrella, to leave it in a cafĂ© or restaurant, it is done all the time! So buy choosing an umbrella as a promotional gift you are choosing to advertise your company and to please your customer or client as umbrellas will always be appreciated.

Another excellent reason for picking a promotional umbrella is simply their use. Just think how often it rains in this country and how often when you are own your way to work you get stuck in a downpour and get to work like a drowned rat! Well just think how thankful your customer will be next time it rains and they pull out the umbrella that you have given them! It will make them think of you and your company and be grateful to you and may make them want to get in touch with you to do business.

Perhaps the most obvious reason for promotional umbrellas being such a favoured item is that they are like walking billboards for your company. Literally when it starts raining your slogan or logo is going up into the air for the world to see. More than any other product (excusing bags) umbrellas are out their for the whole public to see. Even if they do get lost or left somewhere, they will always be picked up by someone else and your message will be passed on because no one is ever going to throw away a good quality umbrella.

So, you have your umbrella now you need to think about the colour, style and slogan you are going to have. There is no point in giving away plain boring umbrellas with no association to your company. It needs to be catchy and bright but obviously not to flash or showy. You want to subtly advertise your company without pushing it in people’s faces. You need to choose carefully depending on your target audience and put a lot of thought into it.

Just remember that this kind of promotional gift lasts and lasts and you want your company to be advertised in the best light possible because if you can get all this right you will definitely be on to a winner.

  1. We can think of umbrellas as seasonal products and plan accordingly. I think The promotional umbrellas are little expensive as compared to the other promotional products but at the same time they are capable of pleasing the consumers simply.
