Dear Media Partner,Thank you for requesting more information about Gear Tie™ reusable

rubber Twist Ties! We are really excited about the amazing demand

for the Gear Tie product line. as per your request, we have enclosed

samples for you to use and share.

Besides the thousands of uses (see right panel), there are several more

interesting story angles about Gear Tie:

Product Launch: Our product will go to market on September 1, 2010.

There will be three ways to purchase Gear TieS: Menards® retail stores,

amazon.com,® or our website www.geartie.com. We are actively seeking

other retailers to carry our Gear Tie line of products.

Pent up Demand: although our product is not yet available, the amount of

pre-sale traffic has exceeded all expectations. The number of daily requests

has been remarkable.

Made in America: With most consumer products today being manufactured

abroad, Gear Tie is committed to manufacturing our reusable rubber Twist

Ties right here in the United States. Our labor and raw material suppliers are all

based in america. Our packaging assembly is done by workers with disabilities.

it is our intent to be a laboratory and a blueprint for other future american

inventors who want to produce and retain american jobs. Our website will

cross promote all of our vendors and partners across the United States.

New Small Business: The inventor of the product is also in charge of

manufacturing, sales, and operations. This is not another product made by one

of the large american manufacturers using foreign goods and foreign labor.

The Idea Story: The idea was developed by Dan Martinson, a former rubber

products manufacturer for OeMs throughout North america. Dan wanted to

create a useful, low cost tool that was more convenient than a bungy cord.

after months of experimentation and development, he knew it was a hit after

a stranger offered him $10 for a set of two at a local motorcycle dealership!
