Did you know that on average in the UK, we see around 149 days of rainfall in a year? This is where a rainy day is classified as when more than one millimetre of rain falls within a day.
It’s safe to say that an umbrella is a staple item in many, if not all households as well as businesses. Because September to January are the wettest months of the year within the UK, now is a great time to invest in a company branded umbrella.
There are so many different company branded products to choose from – so why should you invest in umbrellas?
One of the great things about umbrellas is that they are long lasting products, they are not consumed like sweets, they don’t run out like a pen they don’t get constantly shoved into pockets like a key chain. They are generally well looked after, giving them a long life and planting the seed of you brand into people’s minds sometimes years into the future.
Because of the size of an umbrella and the manner in which they are used, they are a source of constant advertising. Your brand can be seen walking down the street, or in a crowd and certain events, corporate functions and sporting events. This offers huge exposure as what is printed on them will be seen by hundreds.
A company branded umbrella could even be used as an alternative to a business card. Business cards get stored in wallets and eventually thrown away, whereas an umbrella is something they really need which will be used again and again. No other item has such a mass outreach.
Company branded umbrellas also make great gifts for your employees. Again, it’s something that they could really benefit from and use, plus, it means even more exposure for your brand.
At AG products there are 3 main types of company branded umbrella available. All of these have a large print areas. With print sizes in excess of 300mm there’s no chance of missing your brand. They also all have a range of colours available.
The 4 main categories are
Automatic opening – these open quickly and easily with a press of a button.
The Budget range – these are a lower price but not still function well and keep you dry
Crook handles – these have a traditional look and feel with the crook handle and round canopy
Small Umbrellas – these fold down, to fit into a briefcase or handbag. Some are manual opening but auto opening is also available
