Wanting A Garmin Promo Shirt


Recommended Posts

Posted

Somewhere on a forum post I saw mention of a promotional t-shirt with the slogan "Get a Garmin or Get Lost" (or something like that)

 

Does anyone know where I can buy/get one? -- not used, of course ;-)

 

I emailed Garmin and the customer service rep who answered said he wasn't aware of a shirt with that saying on it. He suggested I contact a local dealer but I can't imagine they'd want to deal with people calling about trivial stuff like that.

 

It's a Christmas gift for Grouch. (I can talk about this here because I know he doesn't read the forums.... which is probably a good thing, since I spend entirely too much time reading them!)

 

I suppose anything "Rah, Rah, Garmin" would work, so other suggestions are welcome, too.

 

... No trash talk from you "other brand" fans, now.... :(

Good Luck... I used to work for a Garmin seller, I needed a couple 'chip-clips' for an older product. Woman I spoke with was real cool, sent them right out (to my house so I knew where they were), when I asked if there were any promo items like shirts, hats etc., she said SHE couldn't get any. This was back in '97, check their site for any thing the might sell. Or attend a convention and buy a few thousand units :(

Thanks for the idea, Magellan (Magellan!? :(:) what a great attitude! appreciate your willingness to help a Garmin fan!) I'll send them a letter asking about the shirt, and at the same time suggest they might be missing out on a great marketing niche with us rabid fan geocachers.

I actually have that shirt that you are talking about so it does actually exist. I got it as a prize in a geocaching contest. The people running the contest contacted Garmin and they sent things like the shirts and hats and soda can holders. I do wear mine so you can't have it. Good luck though.

I too have one of those "Get Garmin or Get Lost" shirts sitting in a drawer at home. A friend solicited Garmin before a geocaching event and they sent over a few shirts, a giant Garmin banner, some baseball caps, and a bunch of other goodies (no GPS though, dang!).

 

I would agree that contacting their promotional department might be your best bet.

Now Andy, I wonder who that could be..It does help to have the word "Garmin" in your GC.Com handle though.. :anibad:

The AAA Auto Club put out a series of caches along 'Route 66' last summer. They have Garmin shirts in some of them.

This shirt was from one of their caches during one of our caching road trips south this summer.

Try writing Garmin's PR department directly and explain to them why you are trying to get this shirt and your a geocacher. It only costs you a postage stamp.

I checked on the Garmin site and can't find any appropriate phone, address, or email address to contact. Sigh..... I too would like a Garmin t-shirt. I have no use for the type of shirt listed on eBay though. :unsure:
