When thinking about your marketing plan for next year, your next charity benefit, or your next school or organization funding raiser, don’t forget to think about promotional umbrellas. A promotional umbrella has many positive assets that set it above (yes, pun intended) other promotional items.

It is important that you spend time thinking about what you want from a promotional item. It seems like most people, thinking about buying promotional items, look for something people will want, something they will use, and something that speaks loud and clear about the company of organization that gave it away. A promotional umbrella can meet all of these criteria.

People use umbrellas not only when it is raining but when the sun is beating down on them and they want relief. When buying promotional umbrellas, think about the size you want to buy as you have many options in sizes when you look through a promotional item catalogue or online website.

People definitely want a good umbrella when they are caught out in the weather. If they have a smaller promotional umbrella stowed under their seat, they will love thinking about you or your organization as they stay dry.

The extra large umbrellas are great for couples who know they are going out in the rain. This size though is not as convenient as the smaller foldable and storable sizes that can fit in a briefcase or shoulder bag or under the seat in the car. The larger promotional printed umbrellas are also a bit less respectful when in large crowds as they take up more room and get in the way of other people pretty easily.

Besides the size of a promotional umbrella, it is important to consider how you want to use it to market yourself or your project. Do you want your name printed on the outside of the umbrella so it can be seen by one and all or do you want a little more subtle approach with your name inscribed on the handle? Both of these approaches have a purpose and can meet a need.

If you are using promotional printed umbrellas as a gift to thank large business customers of benefactors for their loyalty, you may want to have them engraved with the customers or benefactors own name and phone number. This is a sophisticated way to say thank you and probably does a lot to maintain loyalty.

If you want to use promotional umbrellas as a gimmick to bring in new customers or to give to people who registered for a benefit or fund raise, then you may want your own business name or the name of your organization to be pretty obvious. No matter what your needs are - promotional umbrellas can meet them in style.
