With that said, it may seem as though umbrellas are not a particularly good promotional item—after all, who needs an umbrella for keeping the rain off during a dry and sunny summer? Promotional umbrellas are definitely a great promotional item to distribute during the rainy winter months, but they do have their uses during the drier seasons, too.
Umbrellas protect their owners from more than just rain—they are also a great way of providing some welcome shade during the heat of the summer. As more people become aware of the effects of ozone depletion, and look for ways to prevent the harmful effects of the sun’s rays, they are becoming more interested in using umbrellas and other shade-providing devices during the height of summer. The cool and welcoming shade of a tree will suit this purpose of course, but a parasol or light umbrella is the ideal way to achieve this, since, unlike trees, the umbrella is portable and conveniently carried around!
If you are choosing promotional umbrellas for summertime use, it’s best to choose light colors and light-weight styles that make the items more convenient for several hours of use. Light colors will help keep the owners of the umbrellas cool, and a light umbrella can be carried more easily. A mini automatic or manual umbrella is ideal for this purpose, as the intent is simply to shade the face from the sun, rather than protecting the entire body from rain. Larger umbrellas are ideal for the beach and the golf course, as well as sporting events of all kinds.
Whatever the weather, an umbrella provides some advantages that other promotional items simply can’t offer. The large print area and high visibility of an umbrella gives you a unique opportunity to generate some very public advertising, whether during the heat of summer or the rainy days of winter. Another unique advantage is that umbrellas are useful to everyone. It doesn’t matter how old a person is, what sex they are, or where they work—rain does not discriminate, and if a person is outside in the rain without an umbrella, they’ll get wet. So everyone can use an umbrella, and that means everyone you give a promotional umbrella to is sure to appreciate and use your gift.
There’s a great variety of promotional umbrellas available, so it’s easy to choose umbrellas that are appropriate for use in any season. Brightly colored light umbrellas are ideal for summer, while heavier Teflon-treated umbrellas are great during the winter—the Teflon coating helps repel water and makes the umbrella dry more quickly. For windy weather, a wind-resistant design will help prevent the umbrella turning inside out, preventing those frustrating situations where you get soaking wet while trying to correct the problem.
