Welcome to the
Remote Totes website. I want to keep you interested in
our story, so I will keep it short and sweet and
hopefully you will share it with your friends and
family.
Back in 1802, no
wait it was 1804, okay just kidding we’re keeping this
short and sweet, that’s right! In 1999, my husband fell
victim of “remotas detaches “.
His car alarm remote had fallen off his key ring and
broke off the plastic loop that let‘s you connect your
remote to your key chain.
So like we all do, he started using his spare remote.
Months later he found himself a victim of “remotas
detaches” once again.
But this time he started drilling holes to reattach his
remote back onto his keychain. (Thank you to the
Daily
Bulletin for running a story about the “Remote Tote”.)
But for the record my husband did not ask me to drill a
hole for him, as stated in the article. He is quite
capable of drilling a hole by himself. Having said that,
let’s just say drilling a hole in his remote was a “short-lived quick fix”.
After returning home from the dealership, who by the way
wanted $98.00 for a new a remote and $30.00 to program
the new remote, when the old one worked just fine, my
husband asked me to“ sew him up a little pouch” to help
reattach his remote back onto his key chain.
This was when the idea of the “Remote Tote” was born.
While my husband was
showing off his new baby the “Remote Tote”, we found out
that he was not the only victim, as several of his
friends had discovered the same problem with their
remotes.
In fact they all thought the “Remote Tote” was a great
idea and thought that we should market the idea.
I personally thought that they were abusing their
remotes, as men often do.
It wasn’t until my lovely son at age 18 months, now 11
and insisting I put his name in this story, James Lee
Harden, while we were at the grocery store one day
damaged my remote.
I gave him my keys at the end of trip to keep him quiet,
(okay to shut him up) not thinking about the car alarm
remote.
Yes, you’re right he sucked on it. But, it still worked,
that is until two weeks later, and then the corrosion
set in (that would be the rusty stuff), and my remote
would no longer work.
I had an older alarm that did not have a by pass, so I
was stranded. I know too long of a story, but a nice man
helped me out that day.
Truly I think back and it was about two or three months
later that my spare broke off my key ring and guess what
happened next? Yes, your right we started marketing the
“Remote Tote“.
We first started by
promoting the “Remote Totes” at the Orange County Swap
meet. And, at this time realized how many people were
looking for a product like this.
They not only wanted our product to reattach their
remotes, but the majority wanted to prevent the problem
from ever occurring.
Eventually, we were able to get the totes into the new
car dealerships and other retail locations throughout
the United States.
At this time I would like to give special thanks to Dean
and Sharon of
dalesiogrp.com.
Not only did they help me with manufacturing the totes,
but when the demand began to grow they provided me with
all the knowledge and equipment needed to manufacture
the totes on my own.
In the beginning I started in my kitchen, then I moved
into our garage, and now we operate out of our own shop!
We are very proud to be making our product in the United
States.
In closing we would
also like to thank all of our devoted customers who have
purchased our product throughout the years.
Thank you for your interest in our product and our
story.
