Choosing Rain Swag: Custom Umbrellas vs Ponchos
Outdoor events are always at the mercy of the weather. If it starts to rain at your golf tournament or music festival, providing immediate shelter for your attendees is a massive opportunity to display your branding. When selecting rain gear for your promotional campaign, you must choose between premium Custom Umbrellas and lightweight Ponchos.
The Prestige of Custom Umbrellas
An umbrella is a highly retained, functional promotional item.
- The Value: They carry a very high perceived value. A high-quality umbrella is frequently kept in cars or offices for years, providing constant, long-term brand exposure.
- The Canvas: The massive canopy provides an incredible amount of space to print alternating corporate colors and massive logos.
The Emergency Relief of Ponchos
Ponchos serve a completely different, immediate logistical need.
- The Utility: They are a cheap emergency handout for outdoor festivals and stadium concerts where carrying an umbrella is prohibited.
- The Cost: Because they are incredibly inexpensive to produce in bulk, you can easily hand them out to thousands of attendees at a moment’s notice.
The Raven32 Recommendation
Your budget and audience dictate this choice. If you are hosting a massive outdoor festival, keeping a thousand ponchos on standby is smart planning. However, as printing and promotional experts, we know that a custom golf umbrella with your logo printed on alternating panels is an elite gift for corporate executives and VIP clients.
