I would love to be able to display there, however, I would be competing against drug companies. They pay big bucks for product placement. Trade shows like this charge 2-10K to display. That's a lot of kilts I gotta sell before I make a profit. The cost of getting down there, accommodation, dealing with the border.
Can you imagine putting two or more kilt makers in a 10x10 booth space? ........

Wow! You think its that much to exhibit?

I'm out of touch, figured a few hundred for a space...

Shows you what I know.

So, maybe an add in their urology journal - there's gotta be some sort of professional mag for them.

Another baby idea bites the dust.

Thanks guys. I just had to explain to my wife why I am sitting at the computer and laughing.

Just be thankful Riverkilt didn't put green in the urologist tartan…

Until recently reading on this forum, I thought my case was pretty unique but now I realise a significant number of kilties took up the habit post-op or for other medical reasons.

It was an accident that got me hooked - thankfully not involving my 'boys'! My right knee was smashed and right arm broken when knocked off my bicycle by an errant driver (it was touch 'n go but I managed to avoid a wheelchair). Before discharge from hospital I had already decided a kilt would make attending to my ADLs (activities of daily living) a whole lot easier. And it proved very true.

I had told multiple hospital staff of my intentions and from the responses (which ranged from delight to disgust) it was clear none had come across the idea before. Yet when I ran into a myotherapist friend on the street, kilted, shortly after discharge he immediatley (well, immediatly after ribbing me about "wearing a dress"

) observed that the kilt was an ideal garment for me to be wearing.

Initially I thought I would be wearing a kilt for my rehab only (never thinking I was about to get addicted

) so I was initially put off by the high cost of a traditional kilt. I nearly gave up on the idea, then a friend introduced me to the concept of utility kilts and that made so much more economic sense. (but now, five months later, I own a variety of kilts and know there will be more

)

So I agree, its a great idea to promote the medical benefits of the kilt. But this should not be limited just to urologists (or orthopods). All relevant health and allied health professionals need to be included. And we need to ensure they have an idea of the range of choice in style and budget available.

I'm a disciple, albeit targeting only one heathen at a time.

Which can lead to a snappy comeback to the old question of what's under the kilt?

"A high sperm count..."

Adverts in printed material isn't cheap either. To have an impact you need a 1/4 to 1/2 page. Again dealing with pharmaceuticals who have the cash for the prime spots in the mag, who also get a write-up, to back the advertising. Sorry for sounding negative, but one does have to choose the best bang for the buck. Having said that, if one doesn't think out of the box it's easy to get stuck. I have an advert in a naturist mag. The tag slogan, "Maintain the Freedom" That one was a whim, the price was reasonable and I do get a good return on my investment.
I suppose one could embed meta tags on kilted websites that have "Urologist RX" and it will come up in google searches, for next to nothing......
