[nabs] quick question for my marketing class

[Carly]

Hi, Rose,

It seems to me that, blind folk do have a way of specifically 
accessing certain avenues, which advertisers could manipulate, maybe 
even exploit. In my relatively brief experience, it does seem the 
smell of food is one. Seems as effective, as some bill board.

If there is a cent that tantalizes, or a particular sound that 
tantalizes, and stimulates for example, I myself have been known to 
be intrigued and tantalized by the sound of bangles, and anklets that 
jingle. To this day, I wear such interessting, ornamentation.
Hope this is helpful.
Let us know what you come up with.
for today,
Carabout my marketing class. I have an alternate extra credit 
assignment, and I wanted to see if anyone had any feedback on it. 
It's fairly simple, and I definitely have ideas, but I figured I'd 
see if anyone had anything to add.
