When considering what to use for your promotional items or gift ideas,Promotional Umbrellas are a Great Way for Your Name to Pop Up Articles don’t forget  to think about the usefulness and appeal of an umbrella. In fact, a well thought out promotional umbrella has the potential to enhance the public awareness of your business or organization because it serves a valued need - keeping someone dry and out of the sun. 

 

If you are wondering – just exactly how a promotional umbrella can increase your businesses visibility, read on to find the answers.  One of the basic reasons a promotional umbrella will market your business is that just about everyone has an umbrella with them when rain is in the forecast. So, what this means is that when the clouds open up, plenty of promotional umbrellas will be opening up too.

 

Once the advertising umbrellas have kept the rain off of people, they will sit opened up to dry in hallways, foyers, lobbies, offices, and actually just about anywhere there is room.  If your name, logo, and phone number happen to adorn any of these opened umbrellas you are getting free publicity.

 

Another consideration to think about is that next to pens, umbrellas are probably the second most often lost or forgotten personal item.  This is actually great for you because the customer who received your promotional umbrella knows about you but, the person who finds their lost or forgotten promotional umbrella may not know who you are. Voila!  Visibility at its finest. This is kind of like doubling or tripling your marketing budget.

 

Choosing to give away marketing umbrellas is a practical decision because people love to receive something for free that is practical. No one would argue that umbrellas are practical and more than likely will get a lot of use.  Their practicality is more diverse that just during the rainy season too.  Promotional umbrellas are perfect for keeping the sun off of heads and making shade when sitting on beaches and at swimming pools, sitting at baseball games, or when just walking around.

 

A good promotional umbrella needs to not only be functional, it  also needs to be a quality product.   People also want an umbrella to be attractive.  It may be tempting to purchase the lowest priced promotional umbrellas, but stop and think about this.  The quality of your promotional umbrella says a lot about the quality of your business.  You don’t want a cheap promotional item to compromise your reputation.
