If You Have a Promotional Umbrella Raindrops Won’t Keep Falling on Their Heads

Remember the B. J. Thomas song Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head?  If so, then you know he could have used a good promotional umbrella. 

Don’t get trapped “inside  the box” by only thinking that promotional umbrellas are devices to keep the rain off of people’s heads. A good quality promotional umbrella will also keep the sun off of heads quite well too.  So, when you are sitting down planning your marketing budget for the next season, don’t forget to add promotional umbrellas to your list of potential gifts and giveaways. 

Advertising umbrellas are a multi-purpose gift or giveaway that meets the criteria people have for making an extra effort to get to your place of business or, to sign up for your service, or to donate to your cause.  A good promotional umbrella will meet the three criteria people are looking for: functional, attractive, and convenient.  Promotional umbrellas beat the promotional item or gift that is going to sit in the drawer or on the shelf and collect dust because it is either needed so rarely that it will take up precious space being left out, or it really does not serve a function of value.

Printed umbrellas come in a variety of colors, sizes, and qualities.  When ordering your promotional umbrellas it is a good idea to think about the customers or clientele who you are giving them to.  Are they wealthy CEOs or benefactors, who are used to the better things in life?  If so, then you need to kick up the quality of the promotional umbrellas about a 1,0000 notches. 

If the people who will be receiving your promotional umbrellas are the general public, they want quality and style too but they don’t expect the handle to be silver or gold plated etc.  Selecting promotional umbrellas that are understated, say in a black, brown, maroon or dark blue, will be more versatile and can go with any style or dress.  Having your company or organization name embossed along one panel of the umbrella in a conservative, yet readable color and print, will also fit into people’s style and design standards more easily then big, bright, bold colors and lettering.

People also will be more interested in making a stop at your place of business or event if the promotional umbrellas you are giving away are a convenient size and shape. They want a promotional umbrella that will fit easily under the seat of their car or in their purse or brief case. They also don’t want one of your promotional umbrellas to be the kind that turns inside out on them if the wind is above 2 miles per hour.
