    Umbrella’s Story

    Promotional Logo Umbrella

    Umbrellas.  Here at VIP, when we think umbrellas, we think about promoting your name to people walking by your outdoor seating or your promotional booth at the beach.  We think about golf game and promotional give-a-ways.

    However, most people don’t think about an umbrella until they need one.  So what else is there to this little piece of material that we frantically look for after a few raindrops hit us or once we discover a sunburn on our skin?
