A present, just for being me!!

So, last Wednesday I check my personal email in the late morning and find this message waiting for me:

Roger –

Thank you for being such a dedicated GMC fan! Your interest in the GMC ornaments and collection is much appreciated. Please verify that your shipping address is still as follows :

[ADDRESS REMOVED]

We will be sending you a special limited edition item from the collection. If you could take a picture of yourself with it, and send the digital image to us, once you get the item that would be great! I’m sure the social team would love to feature a picture of such a dedicated fan on the GMC facebook!

Thanks again!

Jacquie

We Appreciate Your Business!

Please contact us for a quote for your next event!!

Now I have purchased several items from the GMC Collection web site over the past couple of years (http://www.gmccollection.com/) and follow them on Facebook for updates, to ask inquiries, and to give my suggestions for items I'd like to purchase. I recently inquired about the availability of holiday ornaments, which they offered in 2010 (missed) and 2011 (got both) [note: there will be none this year]. I guess as a result of that latest round of questioning I received the email above.

So fast forward to Saturday's mail delivery. This is what I retrieved out of the mailbox:

Upon opening it up:

How cool is that? A limited edition navy blue hat, that's not sold on the web site, to celebrate GMC's 100 years! The blending of the first GMC logo with the current logo is pure art to me I feel very lucky to be the recipient of this gift, for no other reason than being me - a huge GMC fan!!

Many thanks to Jaqcuie at the Cary Francis Group (www.thecfg.com) for not only having her social media team respond to my many Facebook comments, but for her generosity to make this GMC Truck fan's day.

Pretty nice hat. Please don't wear it backwards.

Very cool. Social media and marketing at real work is a great thing, as above. Keeps owners interested and enthusiastic, and that hat is cool!

[G. David Felt]

TOTALLY ROCKS!!!

GO GMC!!!

I would be a total GMC only fan if I was not such a big GM fan. I would have loved to add to my GMC family of auto's but sadly no new Typhoon so I had to settle for the lovely Trailblazer SS. Just so many lovely GM auto's. Spread the Love.

I totally agree with you on the art of the old and new logo. That hat really Rocks. Enjoy it as you deserve it.

Thanks for the replies, guys

Pretty nice hat. Please don't wear it backwards.

I don't believe I will be wearing this hat at all. I'm waiting for the back story on this item, but at this point assuming it was a GM company-only exclusive item. As such, it's likely to be added as part of my collection of GMC related items on display. And I already don't wear my hats backwards

Very cool. Social media and marketing at real work is a great thing, as above. Keeps owners interested and enthusiastic, and that hat is cool!

I totally agree. I have never asked for a free hand out, and being recognized in this manner makes the appreciation so much more meaningful. Now if GMC wants to follow-up, I'd be more than happy to accept a GMC Sierra pickup

TOTALLY ROCKS!!!

Thanks, dfelt. I know there are bigger and more enthusiastic GMC fans/owners out there, but it's nice to be recognized for what I personally enjoy. I too am a total GM guy (hence why my name is GMTruckGuy and not GMCTruckGuy, though I'll almost always prefer the GMC truck first) that finds beauty in most of the vehicles sold under the GM banner. The good thing with my wife is that she likes GM vehicles too (though she is more open to other manufacturers than I am ), so I get to have my GMC Truck and she gets to pick another GM-brand automobile to occupy our garage

I love the old GMC logo as backdrop for the more modern one.

Cool.
