According to a study in the US by the Promotional Products Association, promotional products show ’staggering’ levels of recall and reaction.

.

The study showed that 94% of persons interviewed recalled receiving a promotional product in the last two years and 89% could remember the name of the company being promoted. It also found that 83% liked receiving promotional products and 48% would like to get them more often. Indeed, the promotional products were kept by 69% of people.

.

In fact, according to the findings,  recall rates of promotional products are higher than TV, print and online advertising. In addition, consumers made a purchase after receiving a promotional product more often than viewing a print ad, TV commercial or online.

Despite having crept in mildly and fooled us with some great weather in the UK in September and October, Winter has at last shown its true colours with high winds, storms and heavy rain. So, it’s time again to dig out that trusty brollie!

Now, no one is positive who invented the umbrella, perhaps the Chinese or the Egyptians. However, it took until 1830 before London’s first umbrella shop was opened by James Smith and Sons and it’s still in operation.

.

Today, the average household is said to have an average of 3.8 umbrellas. Still, with the first drop of rain, we still continue to buy new ones, going through many different shapes, sizes and colours in a lifetime.

.

In the world of promotional products, umbrellas are a major player and they are one of those products guaranteed to get your company and your message really noticed. Before you decide on which umbrella is best for you, however, there are a number of things worthy of consideration.

.

First, pick an umbrella that fits your budget and, with a wide range to choose from, this part is easy. You could go for a sports model of which there are 21 different types, a walking umbrella or a telescopic brollie.

.

Next, think about what you want to print onto the umbrella – logo or message or both. You can print on one panel or all panels, in one colour print up to full photographic quality – the combinations of panel colours are endless. You may also make your umbrella really different by choosing a different shaft or handle. Ask us for our advice if you are unsure.

It’s a good thing that umbrellas aren’t just reserved for emperors and pharaohs anymore! Just where would we be without them?

Time was when April, with its infamous showers, was the peak month for sales of our umbrellas. Alas, one result of global warming seems to be increasingly wet British summers and, whilst we might bemoan the lack of sun-tan opportunities, it’s great for umbrella sales!

Umbrellas are one of those products that are guaranteed to get your company and your message really noticed. So, in order to make sure your umbrella promotion is successful there are a number of things you need to consider.

First, make sure you choose a brollie that fits your budget. There’s a wide range of qualities available so this is relatively simple. One of the most popular is the golf umbrella which, with its large canopy, is the ‘utility’ umbrella and a very popular choice.

Second, think about your message. You can print on one panel or all panels, in one colour print up to full photographic quality – the combinations of panel colours are endless. And then you can customise further by choosing a different shaft or handle. But this process isn’t complicated and, with our huge experience, we’re happy to advise.
