Local inventor develops PAPER-TRACKER
The "ANYWHERE" Document, Note, and Picture Holder

Developer Howard Bing had an idea for a document/picture holder that could be attached to a computer monitor: something other than using Post-it® notes or tape. He envisioned a device that could 1) be used in a variety of orientations without damaging documents or photos, 2) provide visibility, and 3) allow for repeated posting of a document or picture. And so originated PAPER-TRACKER.

Application ideas for the office, home and shop expanded the original 11" direct-mount Standard PAPER-TRACKER to include a 5.5" direct-mount Mini-version, a 5.5" and 11" Desktop version, and a Double-Clip Accessory, and Magnetic-Clip Accessory. The PAPER-TRACKER product line gives anyone freedom to view notes and photos almost anywhere - attached to a computer monitor, computer keyboard, telephone, desk organizer, in/out trays, a shelf, a car visor or lamp post; or under a cabinet or on a desktop/tabletop - well, just about anywhere!

PAPER-TRACKER products can be customized for resale or promotional items. The Standard and Mini versions are available with various inspirational and humorous sayings. Mr. Knox, a PAPER-TRACKER user states, "This is a wonderfully useful product. I use four at my office and a couple at home."

From Clutter to Invention with PAPER-TRACKER

BURIEN, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2004--

In 1999 Richard "Dick" Bennett looked at the paper clutter around his computer monitor and decided a new invention was needed. Family photos and little scraps of paper with "to do" lists, phone numbers and other necessary information were attached with sticky notes and tape around Bennett's monitor. Bennett realized that these bits of paper could be organized uniquely between four offset lightweight clear plastic tabs bound together on one side with a lightweight plastic binding. Bennett shared his idea with Howard Bing, president of a Burien, Washington-based software development/distribution company. The two partnered to develop a new line of useful products called PAPER-TRACKER(TM), the "anywhere" document and picture holder.

In 2002 Bing and his son, Marcus, formed Corbitz, Ltd. to develop the product line and take it to market. Bing found that PAPER-TRACKER(TM) could be mounted to an object with double-sided tape, placed into a table-top stand, or be placed in a double swivel clip or a magnet clip to attach PAPER-TRACKER almost anywhere. He experimented with product variations and found hundreds of office, home and shop applications including wheelchair accessory, recipe holder and car visor note keeper. Bing produced several variations and had some imprinted to demonstrate their use as inspirational and promotional products.

Product marketing to the corporate promotions market and retailers is underway. Product samples have been distributed to office and kitchen supply companies and corporate buyers. Direct sales are being taken through the company web store at www.papertracker.net and from product display space at The CouldBee Shops, a retail business incubator, located at 604 SW 152nd St. Burien, WA 98166.

Creating demand for a new product is challenging, but the early orders and "Wow, this is cool! ... Let me show this to my boss" responses keep marketing staff motivated.
