How to Start Helmet work step-by-step guide

1. Understand the Helmet Business

Helmet work can be done in three ways:

1. Trading / Reselling (easiest & low risk)
2. Assembly / Small Manufacturing
3. Branding & Wholesale Supply

👉 Best for beginners: Reselling + branding

Common Helmet Types

• Motorcycle helmets (full face, half face, open face)
• Industrial safety helmets
• Bicycle helmets
• Kids helmets

2. Market Research (Very Important)

Before investing money:

• Visit bike markets and safety stores
• Check prices online (Daraz, Facebook Marketplace)
• Ask riders:
  • Which helmet do you use?
  • Price range (PKR 2,000–6,000 most popular)
• Check traffic laws (helmet compulsory = steady demand)

📌 Note: Bike helmets sell faster than industrial helmets.

3. Decide Your Business Model

Option A: Reselling (Recommended)

• Buy ready-made helmets
• Sell in shop or online
• No machines needed

Option B: Assembly

• Buy helmet shells, padding, visor separately
• Assemble locally
• Slightly higher profit

Option C: Manufacturing (Advanced)

• Requires molds, machines, certifications
• High investment ❌ (not for beginners)

4. Investment Plan (Small Scale)

👉 Total: 100,000 – 200,000 PKR

5. Find Helmet Suppliers

You can source helmets from:

• Local wholesalers (Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad)
• China imports (via agent or Alibaba)
• Industrial safety suppliers

🔍 What to check:

• Helmet material (ABS / Polycarbonate)
• Padding quality
• Certification (DOT, ECE)
• Weight & comfort

6. Branding Your Helmet

Even resellers can create a brand:

• Add logo sticker
• Custom box packaging
• Warranty card (even 3–6 months helps)

💡 Branded helmets sell 20–30% higher.

7. Pricing Strategy

Example:

• Purchase price: PKR 2,500
• Selling price: PKR 3,500–4,000
• Profit per helmet: PKR 1,000+

📈 Sell 3 helmets/day = good monthly income.

8. Sales Channels

Offline

• Small shop near bike market
• Tie-ups with bike mechanics
• Roadside stalls near traffic police areas

Online (Very Powerful)

• Facebook Page & Marketplace
• WhatsApp Business
• Daraz Seller Account
• Instagram reels (helmet testing videos)

9. Marketing Tips (Low Cost)

• Free helmet with bike service deals
• Discount for students
• Bundle offers (helmet + gloves)
• Influencer biker videos
• Customer reviews photos

10. Legal & Safety Requirements

• Business registration (optional at start)
• NTN (for large scale)
• Sell standard helmets only (avoid legal issues)

⚠️ Never sell fake or unsafe helmets.

11. Growth Plan

After 3–6 months:

• Start wholesale supply
• Add accessories (gloves, visors, locks)
• Launch your own helmet model
• Import directly for higher profit

12. Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Buying cheap low-quality helmets
