http://www.ssrgear.com - ChevyMall web site still works - but when I went to this site, all it did was to have me register - no online catalog. The catalog looks like the one sent from ChevyMall...
ELKHART -- Moments after Donald Trump uttered those famous words "You're fired!" on NBC's "The Apprentice" Thursday night, viewers were invited to go online and register to be one of the first 1,000 to own the new Pontiac Solstice, the vehicle at the center of the episode.
At the time viewers were signing up for their chance to buy the car, there was a link to purchase "Solstice logo merchandise" at www.solsticestuff.com.
That link was to Burston Marketing of Elkhart, which General Motors chose to be its official source for Solstice logo merchandise.
"We are expecting a lot of online activity tonight just after the show," predicted Tom Stout, president and owner of Burston Marketing, on Thursday. "We are expecting thousands of hits ... and orders, too," Stout said, hours after his new Web site was up and running.
Stout was excited about his latest agreement with GM, which he reached about a month ago.
"This is now our fourth catalog program that GM has awarded us -- HUMMER, Chevy SSR, the new Corvette C6 and now the Pontiac Solstice," Stout said.
"During an average month we receive 2.1 million hits on our Web sites," said Stout. These include www.hummerstuff.com www.corvettec6collection.com and www.ssrgear.com.
The initial Solstice merchandise includes T-shirts, caps, jackets, sweaters, watches, die-cast cars and a crystal with a three-dimensional Solstice inside. He'll have a printed catalog later in the year.
On this week's task, Apprentice candidates created a promotional brochure for Pontiac's new Solstice roadster. Armed with top-notch photographers, graphic artists and models, each team designed and printed brochures before presenting their finished product to Pontiac executives. Trump also announced the winner of this season's "Apprentice" will receive his or her own Solstice.
Meanwhile, GM, which paid to have its new car featured on the show, has designed an interesting method to help kick off an early order program.
The first 1,000 cars will have serial numbers 1 through 1,000, exclusive badging and a certificate of authenticity. They will be available on a first-come, first-served order basis only during this exclusive early order program at participating Pontiac dealers.
To gain the opportunity to score one of the first 1,000 Solstices, customers must visit www.pontiac.com/apprentice to complete an online registration form that includes a unique identification number. Qualified buyers can bring their registration form to participating dealers nationwide today.
If the first 1,000 units are already sold, the customer can choose to be placed on a waiting list, or simply place a regular Solstice order through the dealership. The early order program will conclude on April 24.
