The Best Promotional Umbrellas for City Clients

There are many varieties of promotional umbrellas and all of them make brilliant corporate gifts. But what if your business caters to professionals who live and work in London or another of the UK's big cities? You will want to provide them with a promotional umbrella that is suited to their lifestyle and location. That's what our city umbrellas range is for! All these umbrellas have features that make them perfect for use in a city, so you can ensure your clients appreciate and get plenty of use out of your promotional gift.

So which types of umbrella can you find in our city umbrellas range? City umbrellas can be found in walking, telescopic and foldable styles.

Walking umbrellas are those that you don't fold down, so remain their full height even when the canopy is down - they're smaller than golf umbrellas and you sometimes see them carried like walking sticks!

Telescopic umbrellas have a shaft that consists of an inner and outer tube, so the inner tube can be slotted inside the outer one, making the umbrella easier to carry.

The name foldable umbrellas refers more generally to all umbrellas that can be folded down. Read on to learn more about the specific features our city umbrellas range offers.

Automatic City Umbrellas

Automatic umbrellas extend automatically through the use of a push-button, usually located on the handle. This makes them easier to extend when the user is in a hurry, so are perfect for busy, high-flying business people.

A push-button on the handle of this umbrella means it can go from closed to open in a second. This telescopic model also comes with a handy matching case

Automatic umbrellas come in a range of styles. Some automatic umbrellas are small, foldable and come with matching cases or pouches. There are also large, automatic, walking umbrellas, which can add a stylish element to a rainy day outfit.

Lightweight City Umbrellas

Lightweight umbrellas will appeal to professional city-dwellers who commute to work by train or who regularly take the office home with them, as a lightweight umbrella won't weigh them down or slow their journey. Umbrellas with aluminium shafts tend to be very light.

This umbrella shaft is made from aluminium making the umbrella very light, whilst a push-button mechanism makes it easy to use

Having a lightweight umbrella doesn't mean that the umbrella won't be strong, however. Some lightweight umbrellas have reinforced frames so they can withstand strong winds, whilst others are made from strong materials like steel.

Lightweight umbrellas can be found in telescopic, foldable and walking styles.

Windproof City Umbrellas

A windproof umbrella won't get blown out of shape on a blustery day, which means it will be likely to last longer than other types of umbrella, and will be a valued promotional gift for years. The reason these umbrellas are wind resistant is that they have extra-strong storm proof ribs that are designed to withstand high winds.

Strong ribs mean this umbrella won't turn inside out during a gale

Other umbrellas actually have flexible ribs, that ensure they won't break or get bent out of shape during windy weather and provide greater stability when the umbrella is in use.This mini umbrella has flexible ribs, an automatic push-button and comes with its own carrying case

Ultimate Customisation City Umbrellas

Umbrellas that allow for ultimate customisation will allow you to present your brand exactly as you want it. These umbrellas can have different coloured shafts, and different coloured panels, with a choice of more than 50 colours.

This umbrella has 7 purple panels and one white one, giving it an unusual and eye-catching look

Some even allow you the option of changing the material and style of the handle! There are wooden crook handles for a classic look, as well as plastic handles in a range of colours.

An ergonomic umbrella handle is easy and comfortable to grip

Some umbrellas can also be dye-sublimation printed, which means the panels can be printed with photo-quality images.

Choosing a customiseable umbrella can also allow you to tailor your umbrella's look to the tastes of your particular clients. If you run a business that primarily serves style-conscious women, for example, you could design a stylish walking umbrella with tasteful, minimalist artwork on the panels.
