Following some recent media reports that focused on the safety of playing cricket, we have identified that there is a need for a reasonably priced safety helmet suitable for everyday use. Made from high quality materials, the product that we have designed is an extremely protective, yet light-weight cricket helmet.

This will mainly reach the segment of general cricketers including parents of younger players.
Endorsement is another way for us to reach the general public.

This is to show that people of the highest skill level can use the product and that it is safe enough to be worn by the best cricketers in Australia.

As we first launch the SamuraiSafe Helmet (we will launch three months before cricket season so people can get to know our product in time for the commencement of the season, and we will continue to promote our product at least half way into the season), we will entice people to buy using a limited time only promotion – buy one get one free for cricket clubs. We will sell two for the price of one to cricket clubs in Sydney for the first month of our launch. Cricket coaches can claim this promotional deal by showing a retailer their coaching
