Are you looking for a promotional item or items to give for gifts or rewards to customers or benefactors? A lot of businesses and organizations are always trying to choose giveaway items that will respectfully say thank you to valued clients, customers and benefactors. Many have also chosen to use promotional umbrellas as these gifts and rewards and have been pleased with their decision to do so.

It may sound like an easy task to choose a promotional item but in fact, it is more complicated than it sounds. Below are some suggestions for things to consider when you are looking through catalogues or researching information online about promotional umbrellas.

1. How many promotional umbrellas are you going to give away? The answer to this question will depend on your marketing budget and on the quality of the promotional umbrellas you select. The higher the quality of the promotional umbrellas, the higher the cost.

You will be able to buy more printed umbrellas if they cost less but, is this really what you want. Lower priced promotional umbrellas will be of lower quality. That just makes sense but, do you want to giveaway a product that is of low quality? The promotional items you giveaway reflect on your business. Do you want to send the message to a lot of people that your business or organization is not concerned about quality?

It might make more sense to buy a higher quality promotional umbrella but, make the distribution of them based on a specific dollar’s worth of purchases or donations. You might also consider giving different levels of promotional items for different levels of purchases or donations.

2. Another thing to consider when choosing promotional umbrellas for giveaways is how you will use them to increase your visibility. Many times businesses and organizations have their names and logos engraved or printed on their promotional items. Is this something you want to do with your promotional umbrellas? If you think you do, what information do you want to have out in front of people whenever someone opens up the promotional umbrella they received from you? Do you want your phone number, address and/or website listed? The answer to all of these questions will have an affect on the price of the promotional umbrellas so, they need to be considered before selecting the particular umbrella for your promotion.

3. What do you want your promotional umbrellas to look like? Do you want them weatherproof and windproof. Should they have Teflon treated hoods? What size should they be? What color would be the most versatile for everyone who will receive the promotional umbrellas? Do you want the umbrellas to have a storage pouch?

When you have answered all of these questions, then go shopping. You will be more pleased with your purchase if you have done your homework.
