Scenting For: Retail Stores, Showrooms, Supermarkets
In store experiences can make or break a brand while exceptional experiences can lead to an enhanced brand image and consumer retention. For retailers it is crucial to entice consumers into their store while competing with the rapidly growing online platforms. To enhance the overall consumer experience, the use of aromatherapy and scent branding can be integrated to create a signature fragrance that consumers associate with your brand.

Increase the Value of Products...
Within a scented environment customers can perceive products to be of a higher value and of greater quality.
**A study by the Smell and Taste Institute with a pair of Nike shoes reported that 84% of customers were more likely to buy the sneakers in a scented store. They were also willing to spend around 10-20% more for the same product.
The Science?
Scent marketing can be defined as the engagement of a consumer’s senses to affect their perceptions, judgement and behaviour. Specifically tailored sensory cues can enhance impulse purchases by stimulating the “buying mood” of consumers. One group of neuroscientist found that 85-95% of consumer decisions occur at the emotional or subconscious level. This indicates that traditional visual and audial marketing techniques fail to influence consumers on an emotional level.
