While exploring America’s national parks, Randy stayed at a hotel that did something surprisingly memorable.

Instead of the usual generic artwork on the wall, they turned the bed into part of the experience. A stunning canyon scene stretched across the blanket, instantly reminding guests exactly where they were.

It got us thinking...

The best branding isn't always the loudest. It's the little details that make people feel something, create a memory, and become part of the story.

That's what great promotional products do. They don't just put your logo in front of people—they connect your brand to moments they'll remember.

There’s an old superstition that opening an umbrella indoors brings bad luck.

One theory suggests the belief dates to ancient Egypt, where opening a parasol away from the sun was believed to offend Ra, the sun god. More realistically? Somebody probably got tired of getting smacked in the face with wet metal spokes.

Whatever the origin, umbrellas have been working overtime this spring… or at least outdoors. What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business.
I was at a farm market over the weekend during a light drizzle and was honestly struck by how many logoed umbrellas were walking around. Banks. Insurance agencies. Golf outings. Healthcare groups. Contractors. Colleges. Real estate companies.

Some subtle. Some impossible to miss.

And that’s exactly why umbrellas continue to be one of the sneaky-good performers in promotional marketing.

According to the Advertising Specialty Institute, promotional umbrellas generate more than 1,300 impressions over their lifetime and consistently rank among the longest-kept promotional products.

But honestly, the real value goes beyond impressions.

Umbrellas are appreciated because they provide something useful at exactly the right moment. And when that happens, the brand attached to it becomes associated with preparedness, helpfulness, and solving a problem.

That’s powerful positioning from a product most people never think much about until they suddenly need one.

And the best umbrella promotions usually go beyond simply placing a logo on the canopy.

The umbrellas that really work tend to feel intentional:
• quality people want to keep
• colors and design that reinforce the brand
• messaging that fits the audience or event
• thoughtful distribution timing
• and usefulness that feels genuine rather than promotional

At Gum Boyz, that’s always the goal: not just branded products… but products people value enough to actually use.

Stay dry out there.

“People don’t remember ordinary. They remember the moment.
That’s the Gum Boyz difference.”

Thanks to Chain Reaction BNI for letting Randy share how memorable branding creates lasting connections.

🎤✨ Recently, Randy Kron of Gum Boyz Marketing delivered an outstanding 10-minute presentation at BNI Chain Reaction! 🚀🎁

Randy Kron shared a powerful message about family, parenting, and the moments that truly stick with us. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💭 He explained that kids may not remember every single day, but they do remember the big moments… “Remember that one time?” ❤️

He tied that same idea into marketing and promotional products: people don’t remember ordinary giveaways — they remember the items, experiences, and branding that make them feel appreciated and create lasting impressions. 🌟🧠

From creative promo ideas to memorable branding strategies, Randy showed us how businesses can stand out by creating moments that matter. 🎯🔥

If you want promotional products that people will actually remember, connect with Randy and Gum Boyz! 👏
