Promotional Umbrellas Make a Statement

October 21, 2008

Promotional umbrellas are not just for rainy days. Promotional umbrellas are just as good at keeping the sun off of you as they are keeping the rain off. So, if you are planning a promotional campaign, it is a smart idea to add promotional umbrellas to your list a potential items to marketing.

When thinking about your distribution plan, you might want to consider purchasing promotional umbrellas of different qualities. If there is one promotional items that can scan the income level, an umbrella is as functional and useful an item tool for COEs as well as one time customers.

So, if you want to condense your promotional buying options, you can buy high quality, maybe personalized ones with for the name of CEOs and customers who spend lots of money with your company. You can also purchase moderately expensive promotional umbrellas for those customers you want to thank. And, you can buy good quality yet fairly priced promotional umbrellas for attracting new customers.

When you put your name or company logo on the umbrella, you are advertising to all who are looking at the umbrella even though they are not in your store or place of business. Think about the national marketing that could happen if someone is sitting in the rain or sunshine at a televised pro football or baseball game using a promotional umbrella that has your companies name and logo on it. Cha ching!!

When making selections about promotional printed umbrellas, you have several things to consider. One of them is your budget. Although you can buy promotional umbrellas at a low cost, you might want to consider what a poor quality promotional items says about your company or business. People seem to draw a direct correlation between quality of business and quality of give away items.

Another consideration is what you want to have printed on the promotional umbrellas. If you happen to have a logo that is widely recognized, then this decision is not as hard to make. But, if your logo is not widely known, you probably need to think about using your company name and some kind of slogan or graphic to explain what you do. Just a name, like Dugans Inc. will not sell your company. Now, Dugans Donuts, is a good picture and lets people know what you they can expect from your company. Adding a phone number or address also may help with the advertising.

You may also want to think about the size, colors and materials. It is a really good ideas to see if the companies, you are considering purchasing the promotional umbrellas from, will let you see samples of the products before you buy them. Pictures in a catalogue or on the internet do not the whole story tell. The best approach is to see the real thing before buy.
