Some promotional gifts get tucked away in the back of the closet and forgotten. A promotional umbrella is too useful to meet that fate. Most people will keep it handy for their own use, or give it to a family member. Promotional umbrellas can multiply your brand's exposure. The person holding the promotional umbrella will be reminded of your generosity every time it rains, and others will see your logo as they pass on the sidewalk. Tips for selecting a promotional umbrella: 
  1. An umbrella's size is determined by its arc, which is the width across the top of the umbrella when it's open. An umbrella with a 48-inch arc will protect two people standing close together.
  2. Consider your customers' lifestyle when selecting promotional umbrellas. There are umbrellas designed for golfers, backpackers and even pets.
  3. Before deciding on a particular umbrella, request a sample. Most promotional umbrella suppliers will send you a sample at no charge.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Promotional umbrellas for everyday use


If your corporate-gift list includes people of various interests and tastes, you can't miss with a basic, all-purpose promotional umbrella.

I recommend: Good candidates include The Executive Folding umbrella from Branders.com, economical mini promotional umbrellas such as the Super Mini umbrellas from Name Builders and the selection of quality promotional umbrellas from Absorbent, Ink.

Family friendly promotional umbrellas


Is your target market family oriented? Consider promotional umbrellas that keep the whole family in mind.

I recommend: Umbrellas for children from PromoPeddlers include plastic protectors to cover sharp areas of the umbrella. Find pink and blue promotional umbrellas that can be attached to baby strollers at Identity-Links.com. Let your message do double duty by imprinting it on a double umbrella, designed for, yes, two people. Finally, don't forget Fido and other four-legged pets. You'll find a pet promotional umbrella at World Premium Promotions.

Promotional umbrellas for the outdoorsy type


Customers who are outdoors as much as they are indoors will appreciate promotional umbrellas that let them stay active, rain or shine.

I recommend: A Nike umbrella with an auto-open feature and a 62-inch arc, will protect golfers from an unexpected drenching. Backpack-toting hikers and businesspeople alike will make use of a promotional umbrella that is designed to slip into a backpack. Walkers, hikers and others who love the outdoors might appreciate an umbrella hat that keeps their hands free.

Harsh weather promotional umbrellas


Who wants to struggle with an umbrella when the wind is whipping and the rain is pounding? Become a hero by giving customers a promotional umbrella that holds up in messy conditions.

I recommend: A 43-inch arc umbrella from 4imprint provides one-touch opening and closing, and folds down to a mere 10 inches. Say goodbye to umbrellas that blow inside out. The Gustbuster Umbrella is built to withstand 60 mph winds. No one likes to contend with water that drips from the edges of their umbrella. This Drip Guard Umbrella eliminates that problem.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • To speed the production of your custom-printed umbrellas, select a vendor that allows you to upload your camera-ready artwork to them.
  • At your next trade show, install one of your promotional umbrellas on a table at your booth that is reserved for customer meetings.
  • If your promotional gift recipients include customers in warm climates who might use the umbrella as protection from the sun, look for an umbrella with a canvas canopy or a UV-coated canopy.
