April showers bring May flowers! This adage has never felt
truer than this year. We’ve experienced a lot of rain and storms at our home
base in Maryland so far this month. Unless you live in a desert or part of the
world that doesn’t get a lot of rain, an umbrella is one of the most important
accessories for spring. We’re sharing three of our favorite types of umbrellas
for surviving April showers below.
Economy Umbrellas
When you need to just grab and go, economy umbrellas are the
best option. These umbrellas shrink down small enough to fit in a cloth sleeve.
The sleeve makes it possible to quickly pop the umbrella back in your purse or
bag even after you’ve used it.
Generally, these umbrellas don’t open super wide so they may
not be great for an extended walk on a rainy day. However, if you just need to
make a quick run from the parking lot into the grocery store or office, this is
the ideal umbrella for you. These are also often the most affordable umbrella
option.
Inversion Umbrellas
One type of umbrella that you don’t see often is an
inversion umbrella. These umbrellas are both practical and fun. Being able to
turn the umbrella inside out makes it easier to avoid getting wet when you
close it and to dry it off before heading inside.
Additionally, these often come in two-tone shades. Having a
pop of color on the underside is a fun surprise and can brighten up a rainy
day. For businesses, this also gives you a place to really show off your brand
colors.
Golf Umbrellas
When you need an umbrella that’s going to give you a lot of
coverage for an extended time in the rain or sun, a golf umbrella is going to
be your best bet. These umbrellas cover a large area and often come with a wind
vented canopy as well.
Not only do golf umbrellas provide a large protective area,
but they’re also aesthetically pleasing. These large umbrellas can be one or
two-toned, and they offer a lot of opportunity for customization. Golf
umbrellas can help brands showcase their colors – and since they’re often used
at large outdoor events, they’re likely to get a lot of visibility.
Branding Various Types of Umbrellas
Regardless of which type of umbrella you choose for an
employee or client gift, you can place your company’s stamp on it by adding a
logo and your brand colors. You have a variety of options to choose from when
it comes to umbrella promotional products. Skylight can help you choose the
perfect one for your business’ needs.
In fact, one of the vendors that we work with even provides
an app for the end user to download that lets them know if there’s more than a
50% chance for rain. They’ll get a push notification to their phone or tablet
saying, “It’s supposed to rain today. Don’t forget your (insert your brand
here) umbrella!”
Our expert team of promo product specialists will guide you
through the process from beginning to end so you can create a one of a kind
promotional gift. We’ve been around since 1977 and pride ourselves on
