Electroplated Umbrellas

charles — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:05:06 +0000

Wedged between our popular Carbon Fibre umbrellas and our low cost budget golf umbrellas there is a product called Electroplated umbrellas. This middle of the road umbrella comes in as many different colours as the other 2 and in fact it is also identical in size. So what is the difference you may ask? Well electroplated umbrellas are essentially metal stainless steal umbrellas except they have gone through a chemical process which gives it a black appearance. Although this does not effect the metal itself it does make the overall umbrella feel a bit more polished and a bit more finished compared to budget steal ones. When opening and closing the electroplated umbrellas they also feel a bit more smoother so you can open an umbrella with no awkward stops and jams. If your budget can’t stretch to Carbon Fibre yet you want an umbrella that is a step up from steal why not consider an electroplated umbrella!

Umbrellas for T.V

charles — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 01:02:20 +0000

Have you noticed umbrellas on T.V especially ones that are held by Journalists or reporters who are on camera at a live event? The umbrellas are typically held at an angle facing the back. This allows the camera to pan onto the speakers face instead of focusing on an umbrella. At the same time the logo can still be seen the correct way around when the news reporter is speaking. This can be made possible by printing on the reverse side of the umbrella or even printing a reverse image on an umbrella to allow for the logo to be seen the correct way around when it faces the camera. Its a nifty trick that we have tried in the past for a T.V crew and allows both the presenter and the logo to look perfectly in sync for us viewers. Its just one type of special effect that we can supply promotional umbrellas just for you.

Custom Umbrellas For Kids

Providing umbrellas customised with a logo is a great way to promote a corporate logo or an event. For adults and adult umbrellas its an absolute no brainer way to effectively market your product service or company. If your intended recipient of the brandable umbrella are kids or children though then there are a few points that you may wish to consider from a safety and aesthetic point of view.

Starting with how the umbrella looks. Kids love primary colours so when you are selecting a colour for your umbrella keep them simple. Blue red yellow and green are the easiest to opt for. Black is also a good colour however we would recomend to stay away from greys or whites as they dirty quite easily and are not as appealing to kids.

Premium features on an umbrella such as wooden handles are luxuries which kids wont notice so skip those features to save money

Size of the umbrella matters! Kids typically need portability and not size. So handing out golf sized umbrellas to kids is probably not advised.

Safety is an important thing to consider. Avoid umbrellas with automatic opening mechanisms. If an automatic umbrella is opened near a childs face it can cause a lot of damage and injury. Also umbrellas with metal point ends are not advisable. Select umbrellas with a flat top. Kids will potentially play sword fights with umbrellas so keep that in mind and opt for durability if your budget can stretch that much.

Budget Umbrellas Vs Expensive Umbrellas

Promotional umbrellas are a great way to advertise your company in a stylish and functional way. If your budget is tight a lower priced umbrella is the way to go. If you can afford to though we highly recomend opting for a slightly pricier option. So whats the difference?

Well its all to do with longevity of the product. All our umbrellas are good in quality but the more pricier options allow for even stronger construction and finish. Basic umbrellas are made from steel whilst premium ones are made from carbon fibre construction which is an inheritantly stronger material. This means that over time and with tough weather they will last and withstand the elements a lot better.
