George Strait, Wrangler team up for 2007 endorsement deal
Wrangler will do promotional placement at more than 90 retailers and 22 cities nationwide. The campaign includes a poster giveaway in select outlets and possible ticket giveaways to a stop on the Strait tour to those patrons purchasing $30 of Wrangler gear.
