Why Branded Umbrellas are Great Items for Promoting Businesses!

Promotional Umbrellas

Discover the 7 reasons why branded umbrellas raise awareness and exposure to your brand.

Brollies are superb for when it is raining! We can never predict the weather here in the UK, but this isn’t the only reason why umbrellas are a hit with clients right now. Is this the future for 2023?

1. They’re Useful Products That Promote

83% of consumers state they would keep a promotional umbrella because it is useful (British Promotional Merchandise Association, 2022). This is an extremely popular promotional gift among businesses purely because they know that customers will use it. This branded gift item is the perfect subtle way of reaching business. It therefore helps to increase your ROI through repeated awareness.

2. Branded Umbrellas Make a Great Impression

Customers love a branded brolly! This could be the future trend to watch out for. Why? We at Gilt Edged Promotions believe that this is a growing gifts market that continuously impresses customers.

3. They Have a Large Surface Area for Artwork, Enhancing Branding Opportunities

These items provide a large surface area for adding your personalised touch to this branded merchandise. Add your company logo and design to a large surface where it can be seen easily by the public.

4. Umbrellas Make Great Giveaways for Outdoor Events

They aren’t just for giveaways at indoor exhibitions! As well as quirky promotional gifts, they are perfect to give to event guests during inclement weather, for example at.…
• Outdoor cinemas
• Food festivals
• Corporate gatherings
• Outdoor markets
• Family festivals
• Charity runs

Impress your guests. How? You’ll be keeping them dry! All whilst advertising your logo to the rest of the attendees. Next time, stock up on 25 – 50 umbrellas as part of your critical emergency weather plan. No events should be cancelled because of some rain.

5. They’re Multi-purpose

Branded promotional items like umbrellas can be used in a variety of settings. You can use this for staff who want to nip to the shops near your office when it’s raining whilst getting your brand heard at the same time. Perhaps you have some detached office set ups near each other and you don’t want your staff to get wet. This presents the perfect branding opportunity.

Likewise, if your client audiences are parents, this will be a huge it for them when watching their kids play sports on a muddy Sunday morning.

6. They Can be Easily Folded

Branded umbrellas can be easily packed away and folded down. This is ideal for taking branded gifts and giveaways to and from shows. They can fit easily in the boot for smaller quantities, or they can be shipped at ease with their light weight and flat packed abilities.

7. Adding Flexibility to Your Design

They provide more flexibility to your artwork design. For example, you can include a full colour print, making your design really pop and stand out. You can also include your logo on several areas of the item, making this a highly versatile product to brand. Make it your own, get creative, and choose eye catching colours that pop to your audience!
