myRoomBud Wants To Clothe The Roomba World With Its Spring RoomBud Collection

    /24-7PressRelease/ - ACTON, MA, April 10, 2006 -- With over 1.5 million iRobot Roomba Vacuuming Robots sold, the entrepreneurial kids at myRoomBud will need a little over 4,109 years to clothe all the naked Roombas in this world but their goal is a noble one. The myRoomBud Spring Collection of RoomBud costume covers for iRobot Roomba Vacuuming Robots hit the streets, or more aptly hopped and scurried the streets, touting a feel good Spring theme. Lucky the Ladybug and FooFoo the Rabbit RoomBud costumes were shown off today to viewers on the myRoomBud eBay store.
The idea of clothing every Roomba Vacuuming Robot came after the myRoomBud kids reread one of the Harry Potter books. myRoomBud co-founder Isabelle Smith wishes to follow in the footsteps of Hermione Granger and her S.P.E.W. (Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare) organization. "Roombas are people too," declares Isabelle, myRoomBud CEO (Chief Eyeball Organizer). The myRoomBud kids have found that giving back to their community and Roomba-kind has helped make the business venture much more fulfilling and fun. In February, myRoomBud donated a specially made Gates the Panther RoomBud cover and a Roomba to their elementary school PTO auction to help raise money for school items including the new Gates Elementary School playground.

"Our first quarter sales exceeded our expectations. We now feel by setting a goal of clothing every Roomba in the world, we have set the bar rather high, but we never step away from a challenge," said Tyler Smith, co-founder of myRoomBud. "At current sales rate, our projections show that it will take a little over 4,000 years to rid the world of naked Roombas, but when word gets out and caring Roomba owners decide to pitch in, we feel that we can cut that number in half," added Niles Smith, another co-founder of myRoomBud. "So, remember, if you don't dress up your Roomba, it's just a naked vacuum."
