Retail Scenting

Signature Scents that enhance retail experiences

With more and more shoppers turning to online platforms, the in-store retail experience is a crucial opportunity to effectively portray their brand and foster loyal customers. When shoppers do visit brick and mortar stores, the brand experience needs to be a memorable one. Retailers take every aspect of their stores into account: the layout and décor, the music and lighting. Now savvy retailers are tapping into their customer’s fifth sense, smell

In combination with other marketing cues, scent can heighten brand connection, create stronger communication and deepen brand loyalty. Custom signature scents for retail and fashion brands are designed to express the overall brand message and environment, enhancing the perception, emotion and connection with the target audience, thereby becoming an integrated and memorable piece of the brand’s overall identity and brand communication.

In retail environments, candles can be dangerous and perfume sprays can be costly and inefficient. For an even and consistent level of scent throughout your store, we recommend the diffusion of fragrance via our “cold air diffusion” technologies that can be programmed to release during store business hours.

Retail Scenting from Fashion to Furniture Stores

Adding a fragrance to your store enhances the shopper’s experience and connects with them on an emotional level. Customers will linger longer in a scented store, and the experience will stay in their minds long after they’ve left. From runway shows and pop-up shops to traditional retail stores, your signature scent can offer the competitive edge.
