Calculating Revenue Gain

Any hospitality business looking to improve their outdoor areas with a Giant Umbrella, can calculate their forecast uplift in sales. From a 5m x 5m umbrella over your outdoor seating area, each person takes up one square metre and spends on average £10 each. In June, July and August this could increase your sales by £120 per week because you have protected your business against the unpredictable nature of British weather.

Aftercare and accessories

We also offer a cleaning and maintenance service for Giant Umbrellas, as well as accessories such as cover bags and straps. We offer this service as it is highly recommended that when you put your Giant Umbrella down for the winter it is cleaned and protected properly. This will prolong its life as well as keeping it looking its best.
