Kilted business gimmicks?

[Lallans]

This weekend I passed a parked minivan that was painted over for a local real estate agent. The local tendency is for estate agents to use their own photographs as business draws, and this van had that but with the twist that the agent was shown kilted, with the added legend "Dusty MacRoads, The Guy In The Kilt" (the name is changed to protect me from providing free advertising). This person must be new to the area or very underworked, because I've never seen him before, in person or on the side of a van. But now I'm wondering if this 'guy in a kilt' thing is seen in other areas. Could it be the start of something or is this an imitation of an established practice?

Where I'm at we have a Real Estate guy that dresses as a Pirate to make himself memorable. Don't know if it helps him with business, but he was a putz before and still is. BTW our local school mascot is a pirate.

I had heard of a company in BC that was kilted window washers. company motto was "NO PEEKING"

Out here I am "the guy in the kilt." Does nothing for business, but I don't wear them at work as carhart has yet design coveralls that will work with a kilt. Scotchguard maybe?

The Kilted Regiments were issued with Khaki kilt covers in the Great War...

Perhaps you should have a cover made for your kilts out of the Carhart material?

They have those, they are called utililkilts . . .

There is a burger place in Toronto where all the staff wear kilts and anyone coming in with a kilt gets 1/2 price burgers
Oh Boy Burger

Tried it a couple of time with my credit card business, went cold calling in a kilt, PC and fly, last time round Christmas. Talked to lots of people, but alas no business from it.

I wear the kilt because I like to wear the kilt, some how working it into a business presentation made it into a gimmick, not just me being me.

When I do weddings I always ask if they have a preference, some say yeah wear the kilt, others not so much. ith:

All Male employees of my company are required to wear the kilt at all times while at work.

We tried to use the gimmick of having them wear trousers but with all the 'adjusting' that was going on we went back to the kilts.
Plus we found that no one would buy a kilt from some guy in jeans.
