The iTie vs Thomas Pink's Commuter Tie -

This is not the first go around for Thomas Pink and the Commuter Tie. It has actually been around for 3 or 4 years and they stopped making it. I am going to put together a comparison of his Commuter Tie and my iTie so you, the consumer can make a wise decision as to which is better.





While the Commuter Tie has a huge name in fashion behind it, it does NOT compare to The iTie.





First of all, it does have a pocket specifically for the iPod Nano. The iTie features a concealed pocket for just about anything that will fit, including an iPod and other Mp3 players.





Secondly, Thomas Pink's Commuter Tie has NO means of attachment and DOES NOT stay in perfect position. The iTie not only stays ENTIRELY in perfect position, you don't have to put anything in the iTie pocket. The patented iTie pocket makes wearing a tie enjoyable and eliminates all the hassles of wearing other ties. Does Thomas Pink's have that feature?





Thirdly, the Commuter Tie only comes in 5 colors and costs $55-$100. The iTie comes in 35 designs and colors and The iTie pockets can be added to your existing necktie collection, giving your OLD ties NEW life! The iTie starts at only $20 and 6 iTie pockets can be purchased for $34.95, less than the cost of 1 Thomas Pink Tie.





There are virtually no benefits to choosing the Thomas Pink Commuter Tie over The iTie. In fact, you are still buying another necktie that will just get in your way and fly over your shoulder.

As you can see, I am not concerned with the Thomas Pink Commuter Tie competing with The iTie. If consumers want to overpay for a necktie that does not do anything for them, then by all means, go ahead.

What you do with your neckties is your business, my business is making highly functional neckties that WORK FOR YOU!

Keep an eye out for The iTie on Tyra Bank's Gift Giving Guide airing soon.

Joe Sale ~ President and Founder of The iTie

The iTie has been all over the place, except here! Here is the update.

It has been a few months since I have posted anything on here. Mostly due to Facebook and Twitter taking over the Social Media World. Don't worry, The iTie is still growing and is stronger than ever.

Over the past two months, The iTie has been featured in The LA Times and the Sun Sentinal. In addition, The iTie has also been on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Discovery Channel's Pitchmen, featuring Billy Mays and Sully.

With all of the success The iTie has seen over the past two months, we have also experienced a tremendous loss. I first met Billy Mays in a casting call for Pitchmen. During my pitch to Billy and Sully, I did a handstand to demonstrate how The iTie stays in perfect position, knocking over Billy in the process. During the pitch, they offered to do a short video endorsing The iTie that I can use on my website. That day has changed my life, all for the better and all thanks to Billy Mays. He went out of his way to help an entrepreneur get off the ground. Although we did not have the opportunity to work on a full direct response commercial, Billy gave me something I will never forget, the passion and drive to help others succeed.

Thank you Billy Mays, Sullivan Productions, and the Discovery Channel crew, Billy will be missed but will never be forgotten.

When was the last time your tie did something for you?

Don't be "THAT GUY"! You know, the guy with the aweful tie that is never in place, the guy who is always holding his tie or adjusting it or the guy who tucks his tie into his shirt during lunch. That guy can be found in every office, bank, hospital, government agency, etc....they are everywhere. Do yourself a favor....buy an iTie and don't be "THAT GUY"! It's the only tie in the World that WORKS for you!

Are you tired of your same old neckties? Regardless of how much you pay for your neckties, $5-$250, no necktie in the World does what the iTie does. Stand out from the rest of the professional crowd and actually look professional! The iTie is the only tie in the World that will stay in perfect position and will never get in your way! In addition, The iTie features a concealed pocket allowing you to store business cards, credit cards, money, or even an iPod...all on the back of The iTie, hidden from view.

Once you wear an iTie, you will never want to wear one of your old ties again! It will never sway out of place, you will never have to tuck it into your shirt, you will not have to constantly adjust it...it WORKS for you!

The 2nd collection of iTies will be available Wednesday April 15th. 30 new designs, all exclusive and limited quantity. In addition, a new web video will be released on Wednesday. The video demonstrate how the iTie works in multiple settings, not to mention, it features a couple STARS! Will have to wait and see for yourself!

The iTie - 2nd Collection - Coming Soon!!!

Thats right, the iTie is getting bigger and better every day! I am working on putting together the 2nd collection of iTies. There will be over 30 new designs, all custom and one of a kind! There will be a limited number of each design. I will also have several skinny ties, conversational ties, some XL (extra long) and a lot of beautiful standard ties.

The collection will be available for Father's Day as well as Graduation! The iTie makes a great gift, it's not just another tie! The iTie is the only tie in the World that stays in perfect position and features a concealed pocket, perfect for holding business cards, credit cards, money, or even an iPod.

In addition, I will have a couple of web videos coming out soon and may even be on The Discovery Channel! Stay tuned....

Mark Zuckerberg - CEO & Founder of Facebook NEEDS AN iTie!!!

The 24 year old Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and Founder of Facebook (not to mention billionaire) appeared on Oprah today. He sure could use an iTie! His tie was terribly out of place during his entire appearance.

Mark's Tie Status Update: I'm all over the place on Oprah!

Someone needs to "POKE" him and tell him about The iTie!

Mark needs to become a fan of The iTie facebook page!

Mark needs to buy me out! haha

Well, it is apparent that The iTie has a lot of work to do. The good news, every tie on the market or currently being worn does nothing The iTie does. Does your tie stay in perfect place? Does your tie feature a concealed pocket for business cards?

The iTie was featured on The Fresno Bee website!!!

Thank you to Will Albritton and The Fresno Bee for featuring The iTie on their website. Please take a moment to check it out... http://www.fresnobeehive.com/archives/2009/03/the_itie_the_gr.html.

Very Cool!

Michael Scott "World's Best Boss" needs an iTie!!!

That's right, Michael Scott, the World's best Boss needs an iTie...in fact, all the guys in "The Office" could use an iTie. I love The Office, it is one of my favorite shows on TV. With all of the antics from Dwight and Michael, there is no way these guys could live without an iTie. I'm surprised one of their ties have not ended up in the shredder by now and caused serious bodily harm.

Take a look at Michael, basting in his glory, with his necktie flapping in the wind.

The iTie makes a great gift for Father's Day as well as for your Boss. If you see your Boss's tie making him look less professional, suggest an iTie, then tell him he is the World's Best Boss...even better than Michael Scott!!!
