Umbrella Myths Dispelled

Umbrellas are the perfect promo item. Think about it: One size fits all, it rains just about everywhere, and everybody uses them. If you're not taking advantage of umbrellas as a promotional product, you're missing out on a whole lot of brand impressions.

So we're asking you to forget what you think you know about umbrellas and look at them in a whole new way while we put to rest some common misconceptions.

Myth #1: 

Umbrellas are boring.

Truth:

Thanks to a big selection of fashion-forward looks, with fun colors, cool patterns and new fabrics, umbrellas help you make a splash without jumping in any puddles. And if it's a trendy style in retail, we have brands like Totes, Cutter & Buck and Slazenger.

Myth #2:

Umbrella design innovation stopped years ago.

Truth:

Exciting developments are happening all the time. The all-new, super-cool inversion umbrellas close so that the outside of the canopy is pulled inward, trapping the inside and making it easier to close from a car seat or doorway. Also, windproof umbrellas feature vented canopies and special flexible frames. 

Myth #3:

Umbrellas are too traditional to make an impact.

Truth:

Umbrellas leave a big impression. The average promotional umbrella generate 1,100 impressions during its lifespan. Plus, umbrellas give you more for your money. The cost-per-impression is less than one cent (ASI).

Myth #4:

People won't hold on to them.

Truth:

A promotional umbrella is definitely a keeper. On average, promo umbrella is kept for over a year - 14 months, to be exact. They're often kept in the car and at the office just in case.

We've got you covered.
