Why scent marketing works
Studies have proven that bad odors cause people to view things more negatively and to have less patience. On the flip side (of a reed diffuser), enjoyable fragrances can boost moods and influence behavior.
Increase customer retention: Elongates a customer's linger time while shopping and entices larger purchase amounts. Over time, subtle scent has proven to increase store traffic and sales.
Increase brand identity and loyalty: The customer experience and overall perceived brand value is significantly improved as customers subconsciously resonate with your brand more.
