They look at the packaging and product. If an item is meant to be soft, such as a blanket, they use their sense of touch. Sense of smell is also a major component of how a consumer shops. Imagine walking into a mall shop that sells makeup and not smelling perfume. Believe it or not, this is a marketing tactic. It doesn&#8217;t just work for places that sell perfume and cologne, either.<\/p>\n<h2>How Scent Marketing Works<\/h2>\n<p>Think about walking into a bakery. While they don&#8217;t bake for the sole purpose of scent marketing, the smell of freshly baked cookies and bread intrigues people to want to buy. Real estate agents use scent when staging a home. And these are merely some examples. There&#8217;s a reason it works.<\/p>\n<p>A positive scent stimulates a person&#8217;s senses. When it&#8217;s a pleasant scent, it helps create an overall positive experience for the consumer. If this is the customer&#8217;s first time in the shop, it has a strong impact on the customer&#8217;s sentiments toward your business. Once a customer becomes a regular, they automatically expect that smell when they walk through your door. Eventually, it could become a scent that they associate with your company every time they smell it. The purpose of scent marketing is to enhance the customer experience, which can ultimately drive sales.<\/p>\n<p>A company may want to create a mood or theme with the scents they use. For instance, did you ever walk passed a coffee shop and smell an aroma that smells like coffee beans, maple, or another pleasant smell? What about a spa? Did you notice that you often walk in, and it smells of essential oils, such as lavender or mint? These fragrances are known for being calming.<\/p>\n<p>Some companies may use diffusers to emit a fragrance. The diffusers create a light scent in the air, and it makes customers feel calm and happy to be in the store. It may be a scent like lavender or vanilla.<\/p>\n<p>A business may spray a specific fragrance in different places around its store. This allows every customer who enters to smell it and draw a connection between it and the business.<\/p>\n<h2>Scent&#8217;s Effect on the Brain<\/h2>\n<p>The main concept of scent marketing deals with how the brain is receptive to sense stimuli. When multiple senses are engaged, it helps a customer to form and retain a memory of a location even better. Smelling that scent outside of the business or walking into the business at a later date will cause the person to revisit that memory.<\/p>\n<p>Stimulating one or more senses help a brand connect on an emotional level with customers. This is especially the case with scent. The limbic system on the left side of your brain processes scent. It&#8217;s responsible for controlling emotions and processing smell. This means there&#8217;s a direct link between an emotional connection and scent. Interestingly enough, smell is the strongest of your senses, and it has the greatest link to memory.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>You can increase sales when you make an emotional connection with customers, as you do with scent marketing. A scent may even increase a person&#8217;s willingness to pay more for a brand. When a space has a scent, customers associate it with higher quality. You might also notice people remain in your store longer when it has a pleasant aroma.<\/p>\n<p>Use scent marketing to boost the mood of customers. And remember, a happy customer is more likely to spend money at your store.<\/p>\n<p>The scent of your store becomes part of the essence of your business. It becomes a vital aspect of brand recognition and adds to customers&#8217; first impressions of you.<\/p>\n<h2>Proof<\/h2>\n<p>A pleasant aroma can potentially boost <a href=\"https:\/\/news.wsu.edu\/news\/2012\/11\/26\/wsu-researchers-tie-simple-scent-to-increased-retail-sales\/\">how much people spend by 20%<\/a>, as noted by a study published by Washington State University.<\/p>\n<p>In one study published in the International Journal of Marketing Studies, ambient scent in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccsenet.org\/journal\/index.php\/ijms\/article\/view\/33672\">Nike store improved<\/a> how pleasurable the shopping experience was as well as the overall perception of the store.<\/p>\n<p>Market research completed by Samsung indicated a consumer <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0022242919881137\">underestimates their browsing time by 26%<\/a> when exposed to a pleasant aroma.
