There are many types of folding umbrellas available. From those that you can fit your entire family under to the mini umbrella that can fold up for an easy carry. Whether for yourself or a customer, here are some factors to finding the right folding umbrella.
Size and Portability
Umbrellas can come in many sizes. The larger the umbrella the more people can fit under it, but also the more storage space it will need. If the user is planning a family outing, or wants to fit a group of friends under the umbrella, a larger umbrella may be the best choice. The extra space under the canopy means the group can all stay together with less risk of someone getting wet.
However, for one person, or when the umbrella is only needed for short trips, the user may want to go smaller. A micro mini umbrella may be the perfect solution. These umbrellas can fold up to about five inches and fit into a purse, backpack, briefcase, or even be easier to carry by hand. A small umbrella will still keep the user dry but take up less space when stored.
Design
Another factor to finding the right folding umbrella is the preferred style of the user. Umbrellas can come in many colors and styles from a solid shade, to color blocked, to a fun print. If needed for a professional situation a solid color of black, navy or grey may be desired. If the umbrella is for personal use a fun color block or print, such as polka dot or stripes, may be preferred. If the user isn’t finding what they’re hoping for in the available selection, it might be worth seeking a custom option.
Consider these ideas when choosing the ideal folding umbrella. What size is preferred, how portable does it need it to be, and what is the desired style. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or helping your customers pick one out, with these tips anyone can find the right umbrella for their needs.
