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.

Whereas in India we need an umbrella in the rainy season only. Maybe that's the reason selling umbrellas is not a good business here.

It might be, but here in the Philippines, people bring an umbrella wherever they are especially during the day because it is supper hot here and when it rains, it is also bad if get wet.

I don't use it because I don't go out when it's too hot and dry. Yes some people use it when they go out in hot and sunny day.
I always have an umbrella with me rain or shine. I am afraid to get wet from the rain and the sun's rays are so hot that want to burn my skin. I am using an umbrella wth a UV protection.

We have a rainy season here for 2-3 months so most of us don't carry umbrellas for the whole year.. I see ladies here carry umbrellas in summer because they are conscious of heat burn and pigmentation of their skin.

Here in my country young and old, male and female bring an umbrella rain or shine. There is a three-fold umbrella and it could fit into a section in the shoulder bag for men, in their pack bag.

In Nigeria, it is a lucrative business. That's because all our weathers require the use of umbrellas. People give it as souvenirs to people and they really appreciate.

It's a good business. I also also planning to sell umbrellas online. I'm still searching for a supplier from South Korea.

I live in a country where rainfall is not common, so this business might not flourish in here.
What about hot days aren't you using an umbrella to protect your skin from UV or getting sun burn?

You may sell other stuff online instead of umbrella selling only to utilize your time and budget. It is so good to try to find out the results.

I don't think it would be profitable you can only sell it during rainy season what about rest of the year
Yes, during rainy days, an umbrella is needed to protect the self from draining from the rain. Here, rain or shine people bring umbrellas, even the boys.

Umbrella is always very much needed both in the sunny days and in the rainy days. It is also like that in this part of the world.

That is right and an umbrella does not rot. It remains functional for many years de[endening on how it is cared for by the owner too. I personally have 4 umbrellas, all UV.

Wow, of course if someone can take care of umbrellas well they can last for a very long time. That is the reason why people always buy it without looking for alternatives.

That will be the next business I will operate online. I am still waiting for the response of those sellers from South Korea. Until now, they do not reply me. Maybe they do not understand.

Did you order umbrellas from people living in South Korea? Or you want to supply to them?.
