This can include checkout lines at stores, doctor or dentist offices, bars and restaurants and more.

These are umbrellas that can be imprinted with your advertising test or graphics.

If there are restaurants or bars in your area with outdoor patios that are in dire need of some new patio umbrellas, why not approach the owner with an offer? You will supply new umbrellas (with your ad on them of course) for free in return for the advertising!

Smaller beach or personal umbrellas can also be imprinted. A cheap way to display your product or website address on a crowded beach or during a stroll in the rain.
