Case Study: Boosting Brand Visibility With Custom Umbrellas

The ODM Group recently worked with two of the leading brands to celebrate 50 years of relationship by helping to produce custom corporate umbrellas for a special project. Known for their bigger canopy size, these golf umbrellas were created especially to increase brand visibility at outdoor events like golf competitions.

As part of the project, an 8-panel canopy with alternating black and white panels was created using 170T polyester. The branding was clearly visible irrespective of whether the umbrellas had the covers closed or opened because of the color printing on two panels.

These umbrellas, which had a comfortable EVA foam handle and a sturdy black iron shaft, were perfect for frequent outdoor usage. For it to be effective as a promotional item, a strap was added as a final touch for ease of use during promotions as well as storage.
