Uplifting Illuminator Umbrellas

The 'Days InnBrella' Emits LED Beams to Brighten Dark, Rainy Days

— June 13, 2018 — Marketing
A dark and gloomy day can sometimes put a damper on one's plans, especially during travel so Days Inn by Wyndham set out to create a unique illuminator umbrella to do more than just shield its guests from the rain.

The exclusive 'Days InnBrella' is touted as a first-of-its-kind design that has the ability to shield people from rain, as well as emit beams of LED light to brighten the days when an umbrella is a necessity. The umbrella design was created to emulate the principles of light therapy, which can help to improve one's energy levels and mood.

The Days InnBrella is now being shared at Days Inn hotels located in some of the rainiest cities in America, including Seattle, Portland and New York.
