Promotional Umbrella Colors And Designs
If you are interested in choosing a larger promotional product for your company, umbrellas are a great idea. However, choosing the right umbrella takes more than simply asking for the one that is least expensive. In fact, although you should stay within your price range, it is more important to worry about the color and design of your promotional umbrellas than the cost.
Color is one of the most important aspects of any promotional product, simply because from afar, this is the first thing people see about your products. Many companies choose to associate themselves with a specific color or group of colors. For example, what’s the first company you thing of when I say “red and yellow”? Most people will automatically think “McDonald’s.” Image how weird it would seem if you pulled up and those arches were green instead of golden or Ronald McDonald’s hair was blue instead of red! If possible, try to associate yourself and your company with a specific color and choose promotional umbrellas in this color.
If you don’t use one specific color in your logo or signs, simply try to choose colors that fit well with the type of business you do. Most umbrellas are either a solid color or a color alternating with white. If you have a company geared toward children, you’ll what to consider bright, primary colors, such as blue or red. On the other hand, if you run a company for services adults can use, such as a law firm, you may want your umbrella to be a bit more muted and “adult” colors, such as burgundy or forest green.
The elements of design as also important. If at all possible, try to put your logo on the umbrella, along with your company name. Keep in mind that your logo will have to show up clearly, even if you use a dark color for the umbrella, such as navy blue. You may wish to consider using white for the logo in this case. Other design elements can also be added, but your logo should be most important, and anything else on the umbrella should not overwhelm.
Try to get a prototype of the umbrella before you order to see how it works. More importantly, if possible, get samples of the fabric and colors used on your umbrella. Don’t be afraid to call and ask for physical samples. After all, the color you see on your computer monitor may look drastically different than the color someone else sees on his or her computer monitor.
Remember, after you order your customized promotional printed umbrellas, they can’t be returned. Therefore, it is important to take you time with the color and design decisions the first time around. Take some time to check out your options and play with color combinations. You may also want to get input from others in your office, especially if you’ll be offering them to employees to carry! In the end, your color and design decisions can create an extremely successful promotional product, if you choose carefully.
