3 Ways to Use Your Large Pub Umbrella for More Than Shading

Every inch of your outdoor area is valuable, so the last thing you want is to waste it on standalone lamps when you could use it for extra tables and chairs. Of course, you don't exactly want your guests fumbling around in the dark either. So what do you do?

Simple: turn your large umbrella into an all-in-one hub for shelter, lighting, and even heating!

Many large umbrellas can be upgraded with integrated LEDs and heaters, letting you provide your guests with light and warmth on a nippy evening, without taking up space that could've been used otherwise. Your guests can enjoy the outdoors in comfort, and you can benefit from the extra covers and additional cash flow.

Getting your business's name out there is essential to its success. After all, if people don't know it exists, they won't come! But marketing isn't just about sending out leaflets or posting on social media. One of the best ways to get your name out there is by incorporating your branding into your premises' décor - it will strengthen your brand identity, helping you stand out from the competition while making your business more memorable to customers.

Large umbrellas are a fantastic way to showcase your branding. They're highly visible to both guests and passersby, and they have plenty of space on their canopies for names, logos, and slogans to fit in. Even better? Not only are branded umbrellas more affordable than standalone signs, but they also save a lot more space. It's a win-win!

Read through our case study for The Mermaid's Tail, a London-based fish and chip restaurant, to see how our branded umbrellas and promotional barriers helped them improve their brand recognition.

Standing out from the competition is key to drawing passersby into your establishment, but that can be easier said than done. If you're based in a plain, understated building that blends into its surroundings, you'll struggle to distinguish yourself from the dozens of other businesses in your area.

Luckily, large umbrellas offer a simple solution. They're available in a wide range of colours and patterns, allowing you to add a splash of vibrancy without the need for a full-scale renovation or redecoration. Matching the colours to your branding is also an excellent way to reinforce your business's identity, just like incorporating your logos as mentioned above.
