YourDropstop Dropstop offers quality umbrellas for rent in convenient locations

Soon also in your city! yourDropstop - Make rainy days fun! Visiting a city. Three options.

yourDropstop in a nutshell:

A tourist. It starts to rain. Is a regular umbrella user. Left umbrella at home. Get wet. Stay out of rain. Buy some form of cover. Sometimes a poncho. More often a ‘one-time-use’ umbrella. Such an umbrella is typically of low quality. Broken within hours. Tossed in bin or on ground. Significant resource input. Short lifespan. Unsustainable. yourDropstop solves this. A

n umbrella rental service connecting users and high quality umbrellas. Self-serve machines. Rental cost less than cost of buying low quality umbrella. Pay rental fee and deposit via mobile pay, or with membership or bank card. Return when done and retrieve deposit. Based on extensive market research, yourDropstop has found that for umbrella users the specific problem arises when they forget their umbrella at home and become exposed to rain. Since they already own a quality umbrella they do not want to purchase another quality umbrella with commensurate costs, but would rather buy a temporary or ‘one-time-use’ alternative, which is typically of low cost and consequently low quality. The inspiration for yourDropstop is traced back to the Carnival of Venice in February 2014, when a combination of wet weather and a high volume of tourists led to a prominent presence of broken umbrellas during the otherwise magical festival. Ever since the yourDropstop team members have not been able to overlook the presence of broken umbrellas visible in many cities following a rain event. Having identified this problem as well as identified and validated the yourDropstop solution, they feel that it is their social duty to make an active effort to improve the life cycle of umbrellas in cities and thereby facilitate sustainable umbrella consumption through yourDropstop.
