Custom Printed Umbrellas

Umbrellas are consistently one of our best selling promotional products. Especially in the last few years when rainfall has been especially high (compared with 2000 - 05 where rain shortage meant all sorts of weird water saving legislations). Promotional umbrellas are very effective marketing and branding tools for several reasons. First and foremost their branding area is H.U.G.E. In fact I cant even name another product that can have a logo branded on at such a big size. This means one obvious thing of course! Your logo and your branding can be visible from a far greater distance than normal promotional items.

The best selling umbrellas size is our largest size promotional golf umbrella. When opened these golf sized umbrellas provide a sheltering canopy that measures 73cm in diameter. In fact we have some even larger ones that measure up to 82cm in diameter. Doesnt sound big? You will be surprised. When you open them up they are absolutley huge and will dwarf all but the tallest person!

The second best seller is our mid sized brandable umbrellas. These arent as large as the Golf sized ones of course but are a good combination of being big enough for branding (& sheltering from the rain of course) as well as being compact enough to leave in the office or home without getting in the way.

The third best selling umbrellas are fold up branded umbrellas. Perfect for bags and stored in the boot of a car for emergencies. These make for an ideal promotional item for students or children.

With promotional printed umbrellas we recomend them to use them as a marketing tool in conjunction with other products. As an item itself it is fantastic to use to market a brand name and are very effective in showing your logo especially on a gloomy day. However the nature of the product means it will not provide you with a comprehensive corporate branding saturation that you may be after. Therefore combining it with other items such as everyday items like pens and bags may offer you greater marketing exposure. Some of the positives and negatives of using a promotional umbrella are listed below (starting with the negatives as today is a rainy day):

Negatives -
1) Umbrellas are not used all the time. It may even go a whole week or two without being used. This means your brand name is folded and stored away.
2) Cost! Basic cheap umbrellas ones run the risk of being stored away in favour of fibreglass lighter umbrellas
3) White Umbrellas tend to get a bit soiled and dirty fast!

Positives
1) When the umbrella is used its brand exposure it provides is second to nothing. Its effect and visibility is absolutely huge!
2) A lot harder to lose compared to other small items like promotional pens
3) Wide choice of colours available
4) A medium term promotional product where you will expect your brand to be visible for several years.
