Common Mistakes Made With Promotional Umbrellas
Ordering promotional umbrellas can really help you to take things to the next level within your business. However, there are five common mistakes that business owners make with promotional umbrellas.
Here’s what they are and how to avoid them!
- Mistake #1: Ordering umbrellas that are too small. Make sure that you read the description carefully before you place your order. Umbrellas come in quite a variety of shapes and sizes, and if you order a child’s size, your umbrellas may to go waste on your target customers. On the other hand, you might want the small size in order to cut costs and be able to give away a novelty item. If possible, see a sample of the umbrella you will buy before you place the order or at least open up your own umbrella and measure so you can accurately understand what you are ordering.
- Mistake #2: Keeping the umbrellas in a closet. If you plan to allow your employees to use the promotional umbrellas you buy, don’t keep them in a closet where they will be soon forgotten. If you have the money in your budget, buy an umbrella for each person. If not, at least keep them out in the open so that employees can borrow one when they see the weather is bad outside. The more times your umbrella is used, the more your company name and logo will leave the office.
- Mistake #3:Not taking color and design into consideration. You umbrella should remind people of your company immediately when they see it. The only way to do this is to pick a color and design that works well for your company. Use your promotional umbrellas as a branding tool. Remember to always include your logo or company name as well?people will not remember where they got an umbrella or it may pass hands.
- Mistake #4: Spending too much on give-a-ways. You can find promotional umbrellas in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and?of course?costs. If you’ll be using your promotional umbrellas as give-a-ways, don’t buy the most expensive ones you can find. While quality is important, so is quantity. You don’t want to go to a single event and run out of umbrellas by mid-morning! Instead, save the more expensive promotional umbrella to give to your employees.
- Mistake #5: Ordering too quickly. Your business will survive for a few days without promotional umbrellas, so don’t rush into making any decisions. Look for promotional umbrellas that make you happy, and even take some time to ask others in your office what they think. Also remember to take your time when filling out the order form, especially when spelling out words that will be printed on your umbrellas. One mistake can cost you a lot of money.
Mistakes are an inevitable part of life. However, by avoiding the five mistakes listed above , you can make sure that you have the best chance at getting the best promotional products for you and your company.
