Though there's still a chill in the air, it won't be long until it's time to hit the greens! And we're not talking about your daily serving of vegetables - we're talking putters and drivers.

To protect yourself (and your clubs!) from sun or rain - and, of course, to display your logo - you need a promotional golf umbrella. Here are four of our favorites:

1. Budget beater 60-inch golf umbrella: You just can't go wrong with the budget beater. It's a classic look at a fantastic price.
2. Two-tone edge umbrella 60-inc arc: Perhaps our most stylish golf umbrella yet, this model comes in plain black with a variety of bright trim colors.
3. Vented automatic folder 60: We love this golf umbrella because it's vented to allow a gentle breeze to pass through, keeping you cool and refreshed.
4. Hurricane wind-proof vented 62 golf umbrella: This umbrella is the toughest around. It's built to last and stand up to even the worst weather - which means you'll get a great return on your investment.

But if you're not browsing the golf section of your favorite promotional company's website, you're missing out on fantastic products that offer you...
Golf accessories are unexpected, which means they make a bigger impression on the recipient. For example, the handy All Purpose Golf Tool is a new twist on the promotional keychain, and one that will definitely be used.

Golf is a favorite pastime among people of all ages. When people associate your brand with something they love, you're building up customer loyalty and goodwill. If you know that a particular client is an avid golfer, then golf accessories are a must for your next gift giving opportunity. The Northwest Golf Shoe Bag is a unique accessory that even a longtime golfer probably doesn't already own. For the women golfers in your company, choose the feminine Nike Brassie Carryall. It rivals any designer handbag in sophistication and style.

A round of golf can also be a way to show employee appreciation. Did an employee recently land a huge client? Treat them to an afternoon of golf, and give them an extra thank you with a golf-related accessory.

You don't have to sell golf equipment or sporting goods to make golf accessories part of your next tradeshow booth. As you know, games are always a good way to attract a crowd to your booth. The Chip N Putt Golf Umbrella is a quick and easy way to set up a game. All you need is a couple of putters and some golf balls. Put up an even more impressive display with Pinnacle Hot Shot Golf Balls custom printed with your company's logo.

Speaking of Pinnacle, opting for a brand name promotional product is always a wise choice. You're sending the message that you believe your employees and clients deserve nothing less than the best. It shows class and style. People see a brand name and think big budget, and where there's a big budget, there must be a successful company!

Golf courses are a place where camaraderie blooms. With a love for the game in common, people in the clubhouse or on the driving range frequently strike up conversations. Put your logo in the mix, and the conversation just might turn to your business! Choose something with high visibility, like the Diamond Collection Golf/Sport Towel, to spark curiosity. Hanging from the side of a golf bag it makes a great advertisement for your company.

Many golf accessories can be used even when you're not on the course. Promotional golf umbrellas, for example, are generously sized, which makes them perfect for protecting yourself from the rain. A Promotional 60" Golf Umbrella is even big enough to fit two people underneath. A person doesn't have to play golf in order to appreciate a high-quality umbrella. Another example is the Caddie Chair, which works as well for a picnic or cookout as it does for a game of golf.

When you're using promotional products in your marketing, always be on the lookout for ways to keep things fresh. Golf accessories are fun, visible and a real standout from the competition.

Of course, it's the earth-friendly thing to do, but it's also the hottest trend in promotional products right now. Best Promotions makes it easy... Reusable Grocery Tote Bag.

While reusable grocery totes have been a social trend for a few years now, they've just recently begun to emerge in the world of promotional products. Stand out from the crowd by going green before your competitors. The good news is that eco-friendly promotional products don't have to cost a lot. The Big Thunder Grocery Tote is priced right for any  budget, but you'd never guess by its generous size.

Reusable grocery totes are effective at building up goodwill towards your brand. Carrying a reusable grocery tote gives people a good feeling because they're doing a little something to make the world a better place. With those good feelings attached to your brand, you'll be fostering customer loyalty. The PolyPro Big Grocery Tote is a great choice with reinforced edges and a bottom support board that makes it extra durable and convenient to use.

As you stroll around the tradeshow, you'll want to carry a tote bag featuring your own... The Lunar Convention Tote is sharp and sophisticated. All of the employees working your booth will look neat and well put together when carrying this bag.

Another great choice for you and your employees is the Excel Canvas Meeting Tote. The contrasting trim gives it an upscale look. Order some extras to give to the visitors who feel like promising prospects.

An alternative to keeping all of your tote bags at your booth is to station a couple of greeters at the front entrance to hand them out as the visitors come in. For a giveaway this big, you need an incredibly affordable bag like the Best Basic Tote Bag. If yours is the first tote bag they receive, you increase the chances that yours is the one they'll use. They'll immediately start filling it up with goodies, and aren't likely to switch to a different bag they might receive later in the day.

For a higher perceived value at a low price, try the Best Convention Tote Bag. This navy bag with white trim has a pricier look, sending the message that you're a successful business who can afford to be extra generous.

In fact, the golf course is probably the most popular destination for low-key wheeling and dealing. While you're out there on the greens, don't pass up the opportunity to advertise your business...
Ever wish you could just plaster an ad on the side of your golf bag? After all, you don't get higher visibility than that! Now you can do the next best thing - hang a Diamond Collection Golf/Sport Towel featuring your company's logo on the side of your bag. You'll have a mobile billboard that still maintains the tradition of golf course decorum.

One way to spread your name is to share the love. Order a box of PINNACLE HOT SHOT GOLF BALLS personalized with the name of your business, and you'll have more than enough to share. Hand them out in the clubhouse as a fun alternative to business cards.

Another way to be visible is to get verbal - strike up a conversation! All you need is a little help from Caddie Chair. When fellow golfers see you taking a seat in this foldout chair, their curiosity will be piqued. With your logo on the back, it will be easy to introduce yourself and your business.

Don't forget the refreshments! Bring along some ice cold beverages in your Pacific Trail Cooler, and you've got yet another way to promote your business out on the course.
