Probably, human behaviour is the same thing in almost every part of the world. Even people in developed countries behave similar ways.
That's because it is very important even wealthy people especially the ladies their servants follow them with an umbrella to protect their masters from the heat of the sun.

Yesterday I purchased umbrellas for my online business, though you can get it cheap from suppliers, you can't put much mark up on it, because there are many that already selling umbrellas. And when I do the costing and potential income, the result is just a meager income.

Selling umbrellas both online and offline is definitely a profitable business for sure. Not only are umbrellas great for rainy days but people nowadays will also use them even on summer days to protect themselves from the sun as well.

Where I live in the UK, England, it is well known that we have a lot of rain and so in the UK, England, something like an umbrella business would definitely thrive in this country.

You might seem a meagre income by but with high turnover it will be much so it is to make high sales to see high profit.

What can you say or suggest regarding this business? I see many people selling umbrellas online, in fact, others do the Iive selling showing the different sizes and colors of the umbrellas. Because of this forum, we learn many good things related to businesses. I am so amused for I have so many plans on what business would I venture into in 2023. In 2022, I have started my milk tea business in the mall. I rented a small space and the profit is so good. The next business is to operate an online fashion boutique m selling brooms online and the latest plan is to sell umbrellas online too. How nice if I could build all these businesses successfully. The capital is so abrupt. If you like these businesses, do one at a time. Planning is best to do before the action to avoid failure. Failure happens because you failed to plan.

The first thing to do is to seek suppliers of umbrellas. I will Google search stores in Seoul, Korea. I always see on Facebook, sellers online selling umbrellas from Korea. What people usually buy are umbrellas that have UV protection. Then not only that, but they also choose either folding or not and or with triple fold or two folds umbrellas. I will use the profit from my milk tea business to add up to my savings. It will take months to start this business because of scouting and creating my business niche. What do you think guys? Will it be profitable to sell umbrellas online? Well, umbrellas won't get rot, and won't depreciate, but appreciate especially during rainy days. And to those who have four seasons, I doubt if you will buy umbrellas.
I bought a nice umbrella with brand michaela which can fit in an ordinary sling bag. It's thin when folded, I wish you can find good ones in korea.. I prefer the folding type. If you can get in volume it's better so you can also sell at wholesale price and you can entertain resellers.

I am still searching for a legit Korean site engaging with umbrella selling. It is a very good business and the umbrella will not rot. We can keep them in a safe place.

In my case, I bring my umbrella wherever I go rain or shine. We have to protect our skin from UV , so we have to buy umbrella with UV protection and I'm going to scout for my business plan on selling umbrellas online sellers from South Korea.

Umbrella does not serve only for rain but for the sun. It is not good to expose to the sun due to its ultraviolet rays and one cause of heat stroke. There are many incidents persons walking under the heat f the sun and s suddenly collapsed because of the heat, whereas, if they only shelter themselves with an umbrella with UV protection, they would not meet that incident.

I don't think it is a lucrative business here. It's a seasonal business, usually in the rainy season the sale of the umbrellas increases, in the rest of the year I dont think people buy them. I dont see people here using an umbrella in summer when they go out, to protect themselves from the sun's rays. In our times we used to have only black colour umbrellas but nowadays I see lots of colourful and attractive umbrellas which people buy just for fashion.🤓

I agree with you, in fact, my sister discouraged me to open a business like that because there are so many umbrellas sold anywhere from corner to corner :LOL:So I better concentrate only on my milk tea business and even that fashion boutique online, my sister does not want me to have headaches. I don't want to disobey my elder sister, so I canceled them all. By the way, I posted here two sets of sites, please find them and choose a site you like to apply to part-time.

In the country of my birth, we only have two seasons, the dry and the rainy, so these seasons need umbrellas for us. It is so hot in the Philippines, we need umbrellas to protect ourselves from heat stroke or sunburn. During rainy days, almost everyone brings an umbrella, so umbrella selling is profitable only in my country.
