Compliment fishing refers to the practice of seeking praise or validation from others through indirect means, often by downplaying one\“s own achievements or fishing for compliments. In the context of Indian local products, this concept can be observed in how traditional artisans and small businesses promote their goods.
Many Indian local products, such as handloom textiles, pottery, and handicrafts, are often marketed with humility, where artisans might understate their skills to elicit appreciation from customers. This strategy not only highlights the authenticity and craftsmanship but also builds a personal connection with buyers, encouraging them to recognize and value the effort behind each item. |
