I was walking the city today and noticed two completely different ways to stand out from the crowd.
One way is to make a big splash and go bigger and bolder than the rest. Often that means spending more money. The Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center is a good example.
Another way is to be more creative than the big spenders.
I met this man on Fifth Avenue and 34th Street (by the Empire State Building). He didn’t have to beg. People saw his sign and came up to drop money in his bucket (me too). And not one insult was cast. Maybe it’s the time of the season.

Love this post.
Happy Holidays
Good post. I like the guys with signs that say “Why lie? I need money for some beer”. On the topic of standing out, I had an idea the other day. I saw a woman driving a van, but the steering wheel was on the right side of the car. I looked several times and found that very curious. Then I thought, what if I bought a new car that had the steering wheel on the right side and then put some magnetic Realtor signs on it. Everybody would be looking at me, and many may even strike up a conversation in parking lots and such. Just an idea. You definitely stand out.
I love New York. Happy Holidays T.
That’s what I call creative!…..and the fact that he threw in an amount so that people don’t have to think about it. Great marketing!
Saw this post and the picture of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center.
Although it might be bigger and bolder, it remind me of something very special to me - while my wife and I were dating (it was about 3 months that we were dating - we have been married for 37 years) we visited Rockefeller Center and took our first picture together in front of the tree. So to me it has a very special meaning.
The you-tube video is also very creative.
Happy New Year to you and your’s.
Thanks Glenn. Happy to have stirred a beautiful memory.
Happy New Year.
And a Happy Year to you also.
