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.

Umbrellas have evolved from rain protectors to fashion items. However, in my country umbrellas are sold mostly during rainy seasons. They hardly make sales during dry season.

Well, every business is lucrative as you make it to be. In my country, people only use umbrellas during training season. Another set of people that use umbrellas during all seasons are nursing mothers. I will advise you to target a particular set of people online if you want to have online store for selling umbrellas. You can target nursing mothers, it will give your business edge.

I think the best thing for people doing the business is to do it seasonally. They can buy and sell off during rainy seasons and look for another product to sell during dry season.

I'm not sure if selling umbrella is a lucrative business here. A lot of stores here including convenient stores are selling umbrellas during raining seasons. The price of the umbrellas is not high. I wonder if they are making good money.

I think that such kind of business would prosper only if you sell umbrellas in regions where there is a lots of rainfall. However, some people also tend to use umbrellas during sunny days as well.

People in Philippines need umbrellas we only have two seasons the dry and rainy. All bring umbrella rain or shine afraid to get wet and afraid of a heat stroke.

It's only profitable in Philippines because we only have the dry and the rainy season. People here need umbrellas rain or shine.
