Get your slice of the PieProof Pie!
It's hard to stand out in the competitive retail cycling industry. Chances are that you're selling the same brands and products as your competitor down the street. Cycle helmets have been even more difficult to differentiate, until now. PieProof Cycle Helmets take a refreshing approach that is tailored to your customers in a way that the big brands can't or won't. Australian cyclists have been calling for a safer way to navigate the unique challenges that they face on the bike. We invite you to be a part of the solution and get more people riding year-round, buying more bikes, parts and accessories, and having their bikes serviced, all by your store.
Demographics
Competitive road and MTB riders are probably not going to buy a PieProof helmet, but there are plenty of other riders who will. Our typical customer is a bit older, safety conscious, and tends to ride trails and bike paths rather than the road. They are commuters, e-Bikers, adventurers, and people who just love to ride.
Price & Margin
All too often in the cycling industry a MSRP will be set sky high, and then the bike store will have to discount that price to meet customer expectations and keep stock turning over. PieProof helmets have been set at a sensible price which provides excellent value to the customer, and an attractive margin to you. We do also sell directly online, but the price is the same. A significant majority of customers still want to touch and feel a product before taking it home with them which is where the LBS rules.
MSRP $109.95
