Brand Building and Marketing

Promotional umbrellas offer unparalleled value as a purveyor of your brand name. They are a high value item, very visible, will be used often and can last for years. Promotional umbrellas are often on the most wanted lists of promotional items released by many companies in their marketing efforts. Because they carry a higher cost per unit than smaller, less impressive items, you can usually order them in relatively small lots ? 25 to 50 items are a common minimum for promotional umbrellas. That makes them ideal for handing out to commemorate special events, anniversaries and product releases. They make ideal prizes at golf tournaments and charity parties. Some of the ways that you might use promotional umbrellas to build your brand identity include:

-selling them for charity fundraising

-give as corporate gifts to clients and suppliers

-give as gifts for sponsorship at charity events and fundraisers

-include them as a premium for high-value clients

-give as gifts to business associates like accountants and advisors

-use them at receptions and outdoor events

Protect Your Customers

Do you own a restaurant, hotel or apartment building? There are many opportunities to use branded promotional umbrellas as part of your marketing and customer care efforts. An inn or hotel might keep some on hand for the use of their guests on rainy days. A restaurant with valet parking might shelter customers from the rain as they move from their vehicle to the entrance of the building. In a conference centre or events venue, providing promotional umbrellas to guests for their use during the conference can encourage them to step outside and move between buildings, or keep them dry if they choose to leave the building for lunch or dinner. It's the small attention to details that often stay in the minds of conference and event attendees. And unlike giveaways, promotional umbrellas used in this way can be reused over and over for years.

Golf Tournaments

Golf days have become a popular way to raise money for charity. They attract sophisticated, high profile business leaders in the community, and are often full day events. Promotional golf umbrellas are an excellent choice as a takeaway gift for a golf day for many reasons. Your guests may even have occasion to make use of their gifts on the day of the event. If the weather should make your promotional umbrellas a handy thing to have, your attention to detail is sure to be remembered and commented upon for some time to come. Even more importantly, your guests will use their umbrellas for years to come, and whenever they do, they'll be promoting and endorsing your company and your event.

Promotional Parasols for Events and Weddings

Umbrellas are not just for rain. Promotional parasols can add a unique touch to an outdoor company event or promotion, or even to a wedding. Promotional parasols can be designed to exactly match the color scheme of your event, and can be printed with your corporation's name or logo, or left plain.
