    Isn't it nice to do business with a Company where you can actually talk to the people that own it.
    (Emphasis mine.)

    I have personally only done business with one of the advertisers, but that is mainly because I tend to be a DIY'er by nature and, at the moment, a lack of funds (I've been unemployed since January. )

    I have found it extremely valuable to read posts by and about many of our advertisers. I have received help from reading their posts when working on my own DIY projects. And when the time and funds coincide, I will be making further purchases from them because you can actually talk with them. Personal customer service still distinguishes them from the vast majority of service related businesses out there.

    That seems a common thread for X Marks advertisers.

    I am in complete agreement with both of you.

    Our sponsors here have all proven to be stand up business that offer quality service and quality goods. When I need something they are who I look to first. There are times when they don't have just the right thing I am looking for, but in honesty those times are few and far between.

    There is also this fun feeling when someone asks me about a particular item of my highland dress and I can tell them about the people I got it from. One of my fellow SCD classmates once commented to me something along the lines of "everything you wear has a cool story behind it! I just buy stuff"

    Cheers

    Just started wearing kilts (as a civie)

    I looked at the list of advertisers and have purchased all my kilts (3) PC jacket, shoes.

    Great products and service from all of them.

    Keep up the good work!

    I've looked over the full list, and bookmarked them all, and have found that I have done business with five of them. Having a list like this is a good thing, especially with the jones always staring me in the face. I would say that the best thing about these good folks, besides great product quality, is the outstanding service and support I have seen.

    Oh, that reminds me.. I need some stuff..

    I know what you mean Ron. I'm real selective with who I deal with.

    The Scottish Tartans Museum has had most of my business.
