In the UK, rain is never far away, which makes the promotional umbrella one of the smartest branding tools you can choose. Every time it's opened, your logo becomes a moving advert, seen by everyone nearby.

Why promotional umbrellas work

They're genuinely useful

Rain interrupts our plans all year round, so an umbrella is something people value and keep. A useful gift is a gift that gets used, and every use is more exposure for your brand.

They have a large branding area

Unlike pens or keyrings, an umbrella gives you a big, bold canvas for your logo and message. Opened on a busy street or at an outdoor event, it's hard to miss.

They're seen by lots of people

A branded umbrella on the daily commute, the school run or a match day is seen by far more people than most promotional items.

They create a positive impression

Handing someone an umbrella on a wet day is a thoughtful gesture. That goodwill becomes part of how people remember your business.

Great ways to use branded umbrellas

  • Client gifts: a quality umbrella makes a practical, appreciated thank-you.

  • Outdoor events: festivals, open days and sports events, alongside our Outdoor and Sports range.

  • Staff and teams: give your team a consistent, professional look in all weathers.

  • Customer-facing businesses: estate agents, hotels and venues can lend or gift umbrellas to visitors.

Our promotional umbrellas

You can see our current umbrella in our Umbrellas range. If you're looking for a particular style, such as golf umbrellas, compact umbrellas or eco-friendly options made from recycled materials, our Bespoke Sourced service can find the right umbrella for your brief and budget.

Tips for a great branded umbrella

  • Go bold: a simple, high-contrast logo reads best at a distance.

  • Think about colour: match the canopy to your brand colours for instant recognition.

  • Choose quality: a sturdy umbrella that survives the wind reflects well on your business.
