Did you order umbrellas from people living in South Korea? Or you want to supply to them?.
I messaged them about the actual amount so that I can adjust mine for gain and if they could ship the umbrellas for free because I will but at least 150 pieces start up.

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.
It is truly needed during the sunny days but a lot of people do not use it during that time. We only use it to protect ourselves during the rain

I think women mostly use it to protect themselves during sunny days in this part of the world. it is generally used by everybody during rainy season.

Selling umbrellas can be a profitable business both offline and online, depending on several factors such as:
  1. Market demand: If there is a high demand for umbrellas in a particular region, then it can be a profitable business.
  2. Competition: The level of competition and the prices offered by competitors will also impact profitability.
  3. Cost of goods: The cost of umbrellas, including production, materials, and shipping, must be considered to determine profitability.
  4. Marketing and advertising: A well-executed marketing and advertising strategy can help attract customers and drive sales, which can impact profitability.
  5. Online vs offline: Selling umbrellas online can reach a wider audience and potentially increase profits, but it also requires additional investments in e-commerce platforms, shipping, and handling. Selling umbrellas offline can offer a more personal touch and face-to-face interactions with customers, but it may have limited reach.

You're right and this is what I am also thinking about because I myself do not even buy umbrellas during these sunny days
Women mostly use umbrellas during sunny days. It may be a little bit of seasonal business because the demand always skyrockets during rainy seasons.

Not all of them and not even a majority of them. I cannot remember the last time I saw a woman holding umbrella Under the Sun

Selling umbrellas I think is a seasonal business, which he would be profitable if sold in the right season. As for my country, the umbrella business would be more profitable to sell during the rainy season.

This is supposed to be my first online business but sad to say, I cannot push through my business selling umbrellas inline. The Korean sellers I messaged to supply me, dod not reply meaning she has no interest. She failed to notice that I will buy from her hundred pieces of umbrellas.

I live in a country where rainfall is not common, so this business might not flourish in here.
In my country, you don't need umbrella for rainfall. You also need umbrella for sunshine. The sun is so scorching you would need an umbrella to shield your head. Umbrellas is a great business in my country. You would surely get patronage.

At the moment we are about going into the dry season or as we usually call it this period the harmattan period. So i dont think sales of umbrella would be that lucrative right now.
