Promotional beach umbrellas are great way to break out of the traditional promotional umbrella market. All too often people only consider promotional umbrellas to be useful for blocking the rain, and while it is true that this is a useful quality possessed by promotional umbrellas it is not their only useful quality. In fact umbrellas are just as good at blocking the sun as they are blocking the rain. Because of this if you plan to do any sort of beachside promotion for your company you may want to look into creating promotional beach umbrellas as a way to get your brand out there among the public while still using promotional umbrellas as your marketing tool.



Promotional beach umbrella's are designed similarly to other umbrella is just on a larger scale. You are also limited to only using the actual umbrella canopy as your canvas for painting your marketing campaign. This is due to the different construction of beach umbrellas versus normal umbrellas. Beach umbrellas commonly use a solid wood or aluminum pole as their main support structure and require a smooth surface to have the long radial arms expand from. Because of this you will probably want to keep the pole of a promotional beach umbrella free from any marketing slogans or phrases because you do not want the paint interfering with the smooth operation of the umbrella. You can however use the pole as a marketing canvas if it is painted or printed in such a way that the paint lies flush with the actual surface of the pole thus ensuring the smooth opening and closing of your promotional beach umbrella.

Unlike with smaller promotional brawl is when you are designing a promotional beach umbrella you are free to paint your logo or slogan on both the top and bottom surface of the umbrella canopy. Promotional beach umbrella's are constructed of a much more sturdy and thick material that is not transparent thus any graphics you put on the top will not be seen from the bottom and vice versa; so feel free to go crazy with putting your logo on both sides. It is also typical for promotional beach umbrella's to be seen from the top as well as the bottom because these umbrellas are often times tilted in such a way that people passing by will be able to see the tops; so printing your logo on both sides will help maximize your exposure.

Promotional beach umbrellas are more expensive than traditional promotional umbrellas, but this makes sense because there much larger and constructed of many more materials. On the plus side, because they are so much larger you will need relatively fewer promotional beach umbrella's to get your message across; and since they are so much larger your logo will be printed larger allowing people to see it from a much farther distance. In the end the costs versus benefits of promotional beach umbrellas and regular promotional umbrellas seem to even out in the wash so it is a better idea to choose the appropriate promotional umbrella rather than going for cost savings.
