                        <description>The clash between e-commerce and procrastination has often kept online retailers at a disadvantage to its brick and mortar counterparts - until now. TheTieBar.com, the trendy online neckwear company based in Chicago, has introduced its unique e-gift certificates, which allow gift certificates to be instantly emailed the moment that they are purchased.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 7, 2006 -- Every year, irony seems to play a trick on dear old dad. The same person who often waits until the last minute himself when purchasing an anniversary gift for his wife or a birthday gift for his kids, can also find himself on the receiving end of careless procrastination. But procrastinators have been the enemy of any e-tailer, as the &#8220;unknown&#8221; of order processing and shipping time discourages shoppers from buying online for last minute gifts. So it was only a matter of time before an online business corrected the problem.

Enter TheTieBar.com, an online neckwear company which debuted in 2004 with its own original collection of neckties for just $15 each.  Last year, &#8220;Can you Fedex us a tie&#8221; was the most often asked question during the week preceding Father&#8217;s Day, explained Greg Shugar, president of <a href="http://www.TheTieBar.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank">www.TheTieBar.com</a>.  This year, Shugar vowed to have a better answer to that question, and eliminate his countless trips to an overnight courier, which wasted valuable time and money to both his company and his customers.

That better answer was created this year when TheTieBar.com introduced its one-of-a-kind <a href="http://www.thetiebar.com/gift_certificates.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="e-gift certificates">e-gift certificates</a>. &#8220;Our e-gift certificates get immediately emailed to the recipient following its purchase, meaning that those who appreciate dad&#8217;s hard work throughout the year can show their appreciation at 8:29am on Father&#8217;s Day, and get a &#8220;thank you&#8221; from dad at 8:30am,&#8221; Shugar explained.

&#8220;With the enormous growth in e-commerce, but the continued existence of last-minute gift-givers, we had to find a way to level the playing field with our brick and mortar competitors. And I think we found it,&#8221; Shugar added.  TheTieBar.com&#8217;s other gift-giving option, membership to its Tie of The Month Club, can also be ordered as late as the day before Father&#8217;s Day, with an email guaranteed to be sent to dad before his big day.

With its release of its first ever line of 100% cotton dress shirts, TheTieBar.com is becoming the perfect one-stop shopping destination for Father&#8217;s Day, especially for those looking to have a gift sent to a dad in a different part of the country.  &#8220;Given the procrastinating nature of my family, I just hope that other e-tailers can learn from our e-gift certificate creation,&#8221; Shugar joked.

                        <description>What was once a little-known online tie shop operating from the owner&#039;s basement has now turned into a bona fide menswear company.Offering a new collection of 100% silk ties each season, in addition to a variety of pocket squares and cufflinks, TheTieBar.com has opened its first retail location just outside Chicago where it has introduced its first line of 100% cotton men&#039;s dress shirts.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 1, 2006 -- It was only a matter of time. Not even two years old, up-and &#8211;coming neckwear designer <a href="http://www.TheTieBar.com" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="The Tie Bar">The Tie Bar</a> has expanded its product line yet again. First, it was silk ties. Then silk pocket squares. Then cufflinks. And now, just in time for Father&#8217;s Day, the Illinois-based company has taken on a whole new world by introducing its first line of 100% cotton men&#8217;s dress shirts.

&#8220;Moving into <a href="http://www.thetiebar.com/categoryPages/Shirts.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="dress shirts">dress shirts</a> wasn&#8217;t even our idea,&#8221; explained Greg Shugar, president of TheTieBar.com.  &#8220;We have a large core group of loyal customers who have been asking us to start making affordable dress shirts. It seems to be an obvious extension of our neckwear, we went with it.&#8221;

Shugar held off on rushing the dress shirts into his e-store until the sizing and quality of the dress shirts were just right. &#8220;Our customers are stylish, but not risk takers. So we started with some of the basic solid colors, and we had our tailor ensure that the dress shirts will have a &#8216;classic fit&#8217;. While GQ tells us that the slim look is in, our customers tell us different.&#8221;

TheTieBar.com&#8217;s original business idea &#8211; offering 100% silk neckties at a fraction of what men are used to paying &#8211; naturally bled into its pricing for dress shirts. With silk ties selling at just $15.00 each, TheTieBar.com sells its line of 100% cotton dress shirts for only $25.00 each.  And each dress shirt contains a unique style of convertible cuffs, which means men can either button their cuffs together, or they can use cufflinks instead.

With the trend in corporate America moving away from business casual, TheTieBar.com has continued to capitalize on men&#8217;s ongoing issue with overpaying for their business attire. Perhaps TheTieBar.com&#8217;s next move will be men&#8217;s suits. &#8220;It&#8217;s the next logical step, but let&#8217;s handle one thing at a time.&#8221; Shugar concluded.
