Fridababy: Making the Grossest Part of Parenting Easier
Chelsea Hirschhorn has built an empire around baby products that handle the grossest parts of raising a baby. Hirschhorn is the CEO of Fridababy and she joins Cheddar to explain how she has launched 17 viral products that are helping millennial parents across the country.
Fridababy was started in 2014 and since then has built out to include 17 products. Some of the most popular products include a device that helps suck out snot and a toothbrush with three brush heads.
When it comes to their retail strategy, Hirschhorn says certain products are more immune to the digital shift. When an infant is sick, parents are not going to wait for Amazon prime to deliver, they are going to run out to the nearest corner store. So Hirschhorn says she wants to be in every corner store.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
