Aloha TC’s,
As I mentioned before, I found a company in San Luis Obispo CA., that is making cocktail umbrellas. This company is LoungeLoot. Their website price is $405 + shipping for 1,000 umbrellas. CosmoReverb already did an amazing job on the umbrella design, and seemed that people liked the design.

Attached is the LoungeLoot pricing as seen online:

....this is $405 for 1,000 umbrellas with free shipping.

He has offered an invoice to Tiki Central for $340.43 !!.....for Tiki Central, and in exchange for some marketing, which I am currently working on trying to setup.

This is a great price, compared to others I have seen. LoungeLoot is also, involved with Tiki Marketplaces, and was recently at Bali Hai market. You can see some of the umbrellas they’ve made for others on their website.

Now is the time to get this order in.....so that we can get the manufacturing started, as it is a 8 week lead time. BUT, he has said that he will do his best to get them to turn around these in a quick turnaround...of which they did an order one time in 5 weeks.

ICosmoReverb has already sent him the full res file....and he is ready to send to manufacturing. :)

If we want umbrellas we need to fund this. $340 / 10 people is $34. They can be sold along with the pin, coaster, and then we can credit back the investors. I don't know much about doing a kickstarter.....but, we can also, just do this old style and put our cash together.

Who wants to get umbrellas made!!??

.
OOHHH, and of course if we want to make more for some reason...then the setup fee goes away...and they are cheaper!! Actually need to see if he would apply the same cost discount.!!

.
Latest...is that Heath sent some investment money for the umbrella....so we are getting closer. THANK YOU HEATH !!! I’m starting a spreadsheet...you’re first on board!!
