Blog week 9- show and tell

For this specific activity, i felt like there would be no better experience then the ones that people have at the flea market, myself especially. One specific memory that comes to mind is when i went to purchase a blanket, a specific type and pattern for my grandmother.
To begin, the purpose of this blanket was for my Nonna to use while she slept because it was extremely thick and she was very vulnerable to cold weather. This blanket was the perfect fit for what she needed and the pattern choice was to match her room design. But when i went to the place to purchase this item, there were multiple options and i needed some assistance. There were different cover textures, materials, and similar but different designs. Though they would all get the job done, i was searching for that perfect one.
This specific message was delivered from two different parties, word of mouth from who ever told my Nonna about the blanket, because there are no commercials for this specific product; that i have seen. And word of mouth from my Nonna to me. The way in which i remembered the product was one: because she told me the specific, and two: because she is my Nonna and i have to listen to her. Though this way of sending and receiving messages is not the typical way, it still gets the job done to have the products purchased.
At this market the way that they advertised their products was by having samples of the different blankets hanging; there was no music or special slogan, just the full visual. This product and way of advertising the products relates to everyone because if they were looking to buy a blanket they are all laid out for them, and if not, they still may do a take over because the product is right there out in the open and are very appealing.
When i decided to ask for help it was very interesting in how the do everything in there power to have there products purchased, and bargaining is the biggest thing. They tell you everything you need to know, like: what its made of, where its made, quality, etc. Going to the flea market is always an interesting experience, especially for someone like me who is very interested in the field of communication.
