What is Scent Marketing?
Scent marketing and aromatherapy can be defined as the engagement of a consumer’s senses to affect their perceptions, judgment and behaviour. Specifically tailored Sensory cues can enhance impulse purchases by stimulating the “buying mood” of consumers. One group of neuro-scientist 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.
Why Essential Oils?
Pure essential oil based fragrances are produced from pure plant extracts to enhance psychological and physical well-being. Unlike synthetic based fragrances, our oils are far more effective at influencing the subconscious and emotional decision making. Our fragrances do not contain proteins, polypeptides or amino acids meaning our essential oil fragrances are non-allergenic.
