A golf umbrella is one of those gifts that people actually keep, use and carry around in plain sight. At Epsom Incentives, we supply a wide range of branded umbrellas, and in this guide we explain how to pick the right one for your next golf day, client thank-you, or staff reward.
Why a branded golf umbrella works so well
Let us start with the obvious. A golf umbrella has a huge canopy, and that means a huge space for your logo. Every time it opens, your brand is up in the air for everyone to see, on the course, in the car park and on the walk home.
It also solves a real problem. British weather is hard to predict, and a person who is handed a good umbrella on a grey morning will remember who gave it to them. That is the kind of goodwill that a pen or a notepad rarely earns on its own.
If you want a sporty look, our Spectrum Sport golf umbrella is a strong place to begin. It sits in our golf and accessories range, so it suits tournaments, club days and sponsor packs very well.
For events where the wind might be a worry, many of our customers look at the Fibrestorm golf umbrella. It is another firm favourite in the same range, and it gives you a large printed area for your message.
What to look for in promotional umbrellas
Not every umbrella suits every job. Before you order, it helps to think about who will be using it and where. Here are the points we talk through with customers most often:
- Canopy size: a bigger canopy covers more of the person and their bag, but it is also heavier to carry.
- Opening style: some open by hand, while others open at the push of a button, which is handy when your hands are full.
- Frame and handle: a sturdy frame and a comfortable grip make the difference between a gift that lasts and one that ends up in the bin.
- Print area: think about how many panels your logo will sit on and how clear it will look when the umbrella is open.
- Carry size: a compact umbrella fits in a handbag or rucksack, while a full-length one is better for the car boot.
Promotional umbrellas also work well beyond the golf course. For office staff and visitors, the Executive Walker umbrella gives a smart, professional look that suits a client gift or a conference pack.
If you are giving out lots of items at once, the budget matters. The Budget Supermini umbrella is a compact, lower-cost choice that is easy to pop into a mailing, a goody bag or an exhibition stand giveaway.
For something in between, the FARE AC Regular umbrella is a regular-sized option that works well for staff gifts, customer rewards and seasonal campaigns.
Choosing the right golf umbrella for your event
Start with the people. Are you rewarding top clients, thanking sponsors, or filling prize bags for every player? A premium golf umbrella makes a lovely prize for a winning team. A simpler design is better when you need one for every guest.
Next, think about your brand. Pick colours that match your logo, and keep your artwork clean and bold. A simple design often looks best on a large canopy, because people will see it from a distance. If your logo has lots of fine detail, tell us early, and we will suggest the best way to print it.
Finally, think about timing. Golf days and corporate events have fixed dates, and the weather will not wait for a late delivery. Our team at Epsom Incentives can talk you through what is possible, so you are not left chasing stock at the last minute.
It also helps to picture the day itself. Will guests be walking between holes, standing at a hospitality tent or heading straight to a car? The answer can point you towards a larger canopy, a compact folding style, or a mix of both for different groups.
FAQs
What canopy size is best for golf days?
A larger canopy is usually the better choice on the course, because it can cover the player and often their bag too. If you are not sure, tell us how the umbrellas will be used and we will help you compare the options in our range.
Can we add our logo to the canopy?
Yes, branding is the whole point of our range. Send us your logo and let us know your colours, and we will guide you on the best print option for the product you have chosen.
How early should we place an order?
As early as you can. Having your artwork ready and your numbers agreed makes everything smoother. Get in touch with your event date, and we will tell you what is realistic.
Put Your Brand in the Spotlight with the Right Promotional Umbrella
A well-chosen umbrella is useful, memorable and very visible, which makes it one of the smartest gifts you can give. Think about your audience, your budget, the canopy size and how your logo will look, and the right choice becomes much easier to spot.
