Excel Skin Keyboard Cover for Macs® Gains Popularity at Tech Startups

Sept. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Boston, MA, September 29, 2012 —  

Boston, MA – This fall, Back-to-School purchases for students at top business schools like Harvard, Wharton, and Stanford included something new: a silicone keyboard cover called the Excel Skin™. Called “obvious” by its creator, Andrew Puschel, the Excel Skin is an Apple®-compatible keyboard skin that makes it easy to master Microsoft Excel® shortcuts by displaying color-coded combinations right on the keyboard.

The reasoning behind this product is straightforward. “I created the Excel Skin because I wanted one for myself. I was wasting hours in Excel doing tasks that took my peers from Wall Street 20 minutes. “I tried to buy one when I started graduate school, but it didn’t exist. Now it does. It’s a simple product that will help Mac users save a ton of time in Excel,” said Andrew, who is a second-year at Harvard Business School.

“We’re pleased to see orders coming in from across the country because we’ve been relying only on word-of-mouth to get the word out,” said John Bedell, Sales Manager for Excel Skin. “Our first came from Boston, and then sales activity spread west to New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco. Now we’re getting international orders.”

With Apple’s notebook computers more popular than ever on business school campus, one wonders if this trend will translate into the workplace. “We’re proud that all types of customers are loving their Excel Skins,” said John Bedell. “Three weeks ago a startup in New York ordered two. Last week they ordered Excel Skins for everyone in their office. Time is money. This is clearly a great product for businesses that use Macs.”
