Kilted business gimmicks?

There used to be a bottled water company here in the Denver area that had drivers that wore kilts. Just tried to find them on Google and they don't seem to be around any more. Must have been a casualty of the recent financial woes going around.

In High School, a friend of mine's dad wanted to start a door business named: Highland Doors.

Not sure if he ever started it.

I don't know if its just a local/regional thing or not, but we had a phone book put out by "Macgregor" (aka the "Macgregor Yellow Pages") & the cover always featured the Macgregor tartan with local outdoor scenery.

Ah, found a copy. It's called the MacGregor Plaid Book & on its spine says since 1930. Here's the cover of the latest edition:

Scottish windows here, yet they never did seem to enthusiastic about having Kilts, even after I talked to them.

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.

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.

:ootd:

Sorry to go off topic for a moment
Thanks Boldhighlander for showing the phone book cover. After many years of wathching the Bugs Bunny show on TV and wondering if there really was a place called ACME where coyote and others got their pacels from, you have answered the question with your phone book cover Thankyou

Please resume the topic

Now that you mention it, I have seen a lot of coyotes slinking around there
