Promotional Golf Umbrellas

golf umbrellas are not just for the golf course. The beauty of a promotional umbrella is that it can be used in so many different settings. As well as on the golf course, golf umbrellas can be seen at the beach, the cricket, the football and even at childrens sports days. Add to that the high usage of umbrellas for community events, and even clusters of umbrellas sheltering market stalls, and you soon see that promotional umbrellas are a good branding tool for your business.

Imagine that you have had a successful promotion and have given away your branded umbrellas to conference participants, clients or staff. Your umbrellas may go to all parts of the city or indeed, the nation. The one thing they have in common is that your company name and logo is on every single one of them.

Now lets take that one step further. The clients take the umbrellas with them on their weekend outings. Some of your promotional umbrellas are seen at the beach. people passing by notice them for their visual appeal. On a particularly hot day they may attract envious looks from people whod like some shade. No matter what attracts their glance, your logo is in their line of sight. That all reinforces your brand name and heightens awareness of what you have to offer.

All of those people who notice your promotional umbrellas are potential customers. If they arent in the market for your services or products right now, they may be in the future. Dont underestimate word of mouth. They may pass on your company details. How many times have you jotted down a number youve seen in passing because you thought it would be useful for yourself, a colleague, friend or family member?

But now for the jackpot. Some of those participants are bound to take your umbrella to a televised sporting event for some shade or to fend off the rain. Mad keen sports fans arent going to let either scorching sun or rain stop them. They come prepared, and part of their sports outing toolkit is the trusty umbrella. When the television cameras pan the crowd and home in on a spectator with your branded umbrella, imagine the kudos and awareness factor for your company.

Given the number of televised local, regional, national and even international outdoor sporting events, that umbrella with your brand name could be seen on television by thousands, if not millions of viewers at home. Do you know the cost of television advertising? Let me tell you, a promotional umbrella campaign is a very inexpensive investment.

In Australia a popular radio station encouraged listeners to be creative with getting the station logo on television at televised outdoor events. Incentives were given and of course, it created a media buzz too. Like the radio company, you can get other people you dont even know to partner with you in advertising your business. All it takes is deciding on your promotional umbrella campaign. You can start right away.

Silverton, Colorado - Gunfights, Mountains And A Train

Silverton Colorado is one of those little mountain towns that you have to spend some time in to really enjoy. You'll love the scenery if you come by way of the Durango-Silverton Narrow gage Railway. The canyons and mountains you'll go through, and the sheer drops to the river below are breathtaking. but the train stops in Silverton for just a couple hours before returning to Durango, and if you are lucky you'll miss it and hang out for a while.

If you come by car, don't just drive down the old-west main street and continue on up to the ghost town of Animas Forks for a few photos. Stop and stay a while. Where else can you see a gunfight in the streets, camp three blocks from downtown, and look up to see snow-capped mountains in all directions in June?

We are sitting in our room at the historic Silverton Hostel as I write this. A hostel, if you are unfamiliar with the term, is a place where you rent a bed for the night - a great idea for a single person who likes to meet other adventurers and travelers. You share a bathroom and kitchen. This hostel is somewhat of a hybrid run-down hotel and rooming house, with beds, private rooms like the one we have, and space to pitch a tent in the backyard.

The sign at the front desk says to pick a room - the keys are in the doors. You can then call to find someone to pay, or pay when you see the manager later. In fact, in case you miss the manager, there is an envelope on the back of the door in each room. Just leave your money in that, the note says.

We ran into the manager, which was good, because she informed us that wireless internet was available. That saved us a trip to the Avalanche Cafe (although we'll have to visit in the morning for their excellent green-chili omelettes). Checking in didn't require any paper work other than signing the credit card slip. We heated up some food in the kitchen and met a young man who had recently traveled through my wife's native Ecuador.

Later we watched the gun fight that is put on in the streets for tourists. Tonight we hope to be dancing at the Bent Elbow Saloon, followed by whatever other bar has live music. The last time we were here we danced to the music of "Too Little O2." Their original music ranged from Greek dance tunes to reggae to rock and the blues. The locals and outsiders all had a great time. There is something about being isolated and at 9300 feet that seems to help people get along.

Other Things To Do And See around Silverton

If you like big wilderness, this is the place. The nearby Weminuche Wilderness area is the largest in Colorado, and has hundreds of miles of hiking trails. It includes several "fourteeners," (mountains over 14,000 feet) that can be climbed without equipment. much of the area is above timberline, and it is full of alpine lakes, waterfalls and wildlife.

Twenty-three miles away, at the northern end of the "Million Dollar Highway," is the town of Ouray, where you can soak in some of the best hot spring pools in the state. The highway itself is an adventure, with drops of hundreds of feet sometimes just inches from the edge of the road. The scenery is incredible, but should be described to the driver.

Jeep tours starting in Silverton will take you to the high tundra, as well as to old mines and ghost towns. You can rent a four-wheel drive vehicle yourself and take the amazing "Alpine loop." At the moment (mid-June) you might still have some issues with snow on some of the many passes you'll go over.

Back in town, you can sing karaoke at the Silverton Brewery and bar, if it is Friday night. We were there last night, and the songs ranged from Rocky Horror Picture Show music to country, hard rock and Selena (in Spanish). The last was sung by my wife. I guess the $3 margarita was stronger than we thought.
