The Christmas Chicken
December 18th, 2008 Posted in Economy
A dear friend of mine, Lois Geller, decided to send out a slightly different Christmas card this year.
With all of the depressing news this year, she needed to do something to inspire people.
So, she approached Donal Sexaur, a great artist, and asked him to come up with something that represented “new beginnings”. He surprised her with a chicken.
She tells me the response to the card has been incredible, including from a marketing head at the Post Office.
Sometimes it pays to be different…
Lois is a direct marketing legend, and her human approach to marketing has won her many awards over the years.
Check out her story here. She’s also giving away the original painting…

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such excellent information being shared freely out there.
