Almost Time for the Greens - Our Favorite Golf Umbrellas

What's that I see peeking out from under the winter frost? Could it be a blade or two of grass?

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.

Trade Show Totes You Can't Hit The Floor Without

When planning for a tradeshow, you always spend time thinking about the right tote bag for visitors to your booth…but what about a bag for yourself? As you stroll around the tradeshow, you'll want to carry a tote bag featuring your own company's name and logo. 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.

Golf Accessories for High Visibility

Combining golf and business is nothing new. 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 with promotional golf accessories.

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.

logo golf ballsOne 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.
