(PRWEB) March 24, 2005
It was the day after the World Trade Center tragedy on September 12, 2001 when PottieStickers and creator Tammie Aaron-Barrada, were both put to the test. TammieÂ’s husband had been diagnosed with cancer just after they lost their third child. The daily trips for radiation, doctorÂ’s appointments and chemotherapy treatments resulted in placing their two toddlers in day care and in the hands of neighbors since family was over 800 miles away. A few weeks later TammieÂ’s husband lost his battle with cancer.
Now widowed with a handful of PottieStickers and two toddlers to raise, Tammie was devastated and faced with financial challenges as TammieÂ’s husband did not have life insurance. Determined to make it, she pursued her goals in honor of her husband and for her children. It all started with TammieÂ’s perseverance. She wrote a patent for PottieStickers and a killer business plan which was polished to perfection winning the 2003 WriteIdea contest and Aaron Barrada, Inc. was born.
Aaron Barrada, Inc. was the first company to provide a toilet training reward system designed specifically for traveling children of today. Aaron Barrada, Inc. recognized and filled the void of today's family-on-the-go-lifestyle toilet training by marketing and selling its ingenious PottieStickers® via their website http://www. pottiestickers. com/ (http://www. pottiestickers. com/) and specialty baby stores in the fall of 2004. In 2005, PottieStickers will be offered to the public via retail, pharmacy and grocery stores where diapers are sold.
Recommended by Pediatricians, Child Psychiatrists, Day Care Providers, parents and grandparents, PottieStickers, the “No Wrong Way” patented design sets are a big hit and travel well with parents and child. Whether mom carries a set in her purse, leaves one at grandmas house or daycare, each 8 1/2” x 11” fold out picture has correlating 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” stickers she can give one PottieStickers for sitting, give two PottieStickers for a pee, & give three PottieStickers for a poopy. No matter how a child places the sticker, they are correct through the design patent. The extremely thick stickers are designed for one and two year old little fingers but with intricate details. http://www. pottiestickers. com/stickers. htm (http://www. pottiestickers. com/stickers. htm)
Thirty years ago children were toilet trained by 15 to 20 months of age. Now they are 3 to 4 years old before trying. Diaper costs $100 a month not to mention creams and wipes. Specialists see more children with problems due to late toilet training. Reports find bladder and urinary tract infections, constipation, stretching of the bowel, colon pockets, these serious happenings result in pulips which always turn into cancer if untreated. (80
PottieStickers retail for only $12.99 for three sets while the average cost of other toilet training systems start at $20 to $80 and consist of wall charts, board games, dolls and products that just don't travel well with children who are toilet training. Most importantly, PottieStickers exceeded the standards of conforming to ASTM F963 and 16CFR consumer product safety requirements (CPSC).
Tammie Aaron-Barrada, President & CEO of Aaron Barrada, Inc., previously owned and operated an Advertising Agency and taught college for 18 years. Tammie enjoyed her tenure at Deloitte & Touche as a personal trainer and a personal business development trainer for the BDC in the 90s.
Tammie became a Toilet Training Advocate, out of necessity, and turned her PottieStickers creation into a national award winning product. She works in her home office developing 50 more product designs and new children’s educational products. “GFW” (God, Family & Work) is printed on Tammie’s products to keep her focused on life’s priorities.
