Mini Promotional Umbrellas

Few promotional products are as gratefully received as an umbrella, due to its viability and familiarity. But often times, especially at trade shows or career/business carnivals, attendees are hesitant to take a full-sized, 35-50 inch umbrella to lug around with them for the rest of the day. This is not the case with a mini umbrella which when closed ranges from about 4 to 8 inches! Take note of the serious difference in size (and consequently, weight) between the two! It’s much easier to pop a 6 in. mini into one’s bag and carry it around than your traditional 2 footer.
Mini promotional umbrellas are becoming increasingly popular across many different demographics. In the business world where the trend has gone from corporate attire to more of a corporate casual, accessories such as the umbrella has been affected. Also, on-the-go moms and college students are much more able to drop a mini umbrella into their bag as opposed to needing another hand for a full size umbrella. Also they’re more eco-friendly, as they use less material to produce. Speaking of production, often a mini umbrella costs less per unit than do larger sized umbrellas, so you are more akin to get a larger return on your investment.
Mini umbrellas come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and materials, and are highly customizable to fit any and each design need . Though they are considered “mini” the print area can range between less than 6″ to 12″. For some mini’s, you can even print a design on the whole surface area of the top canopy! Now you seem to have a distinct, walking billboard moving down the city streets! People can’t help but to take notice! Also, each time it rains, your customer is going to be thankful that you handed them a mini promotional umbrella to help in keeping them dry.
Give us a call today to discuss how we can use the unique qualities of promotional umbrellas can grow your business and develop your brand marketing.
Fashion Umbrellas

So what is considered a “fashion umbrella?” Generally speaking, fashion umbrellas have a curved, “J-shaped” handle, and a high-arched canopy. They come in a larger variety of colors and materials, and some are even made of clear plastic (such as the Bubble Umbrella, which has a deeply domed arc). Oftentimes, fashion umbrellas allow for a greater surface area, and thus, imprint area. The obvious benefit to the recipient of the gift is that it covers them from the rain, but what benefit does a greater surface area give to the company? Greater surface area equals a larger space in which to imprint the company logo. A larger logo equals greater visibility. Greater visibility equals more people seeing the branding message. So not only are you promoting your business to the recipient of the umbrella, but also to the hundreds, perhaps even thousands of others they pass by! Your return on investment could be immense!
Promotional Umbrellas, and more specifically fashion umbrellas, are rising in popularity, and this is the best time to incorporate them into your marketing plan! Ensure that you choose your color and style wisely to fit your demographic, and your company is bound to receive some new business, and secure a dedicated (and satisfied) customer base.
