What is Ambient Scenting? 

First of all, what exactly is ambient scenting? Well, in simple terms, ambient scenting involves uplifting the scent of your workplace to provide a pleasant experience to employees, customers and visitors alike. Ambient scenting is simply the next, intuitive step in differentiating yourself from other competitors in the market.

The great thing about ambient scenting is that it allows you to customise the intensity, frequency and type of scent…all carefully curated to provide the optimal in-store experience that will keep your customers hooked. This can be accompanied by visual aesthetic decor, compelling store layout, friendly staff and music in your workplace. 

Benefits of Ambient Scenting 

There are many incredible benefits of ambient scenting, namely that it can help drive new business to your doorstep. Customers want a lovely and pleasurable experience when they go shopping. Appealing to their olfactory senses can intensify positive moods and uplift brand associations, especially in retail environments. 

Increase Customer Loyalty 

By using ambient scenting, you’re able to express the overarching tone and feel of your brand, meaning that you can form a deeper emotional connection with your customers. In fact, 75% of emotions are influenced by smells. Store atmosphere is a key trigger for building this stronger customer relationship – the interplay of colours, lighting, temperature and ambient scenting all come together to drive a more engaging shopping experience. 

Tailored for Your Business 

Ambient scenting can be tailored to match your brand identity, no matter your industry or business size. Fresh and Clean provides custom scents which are carefully selected to reflect your company’s branding and store atmosphere, allowing you to appeal more effectively to your customer’s tastes. 

Interestingly, this Study about Scent Atmospherics reveals that women generally prefer sweeter scents such as vanilla while men prefer rose-based aromatics. It also provided valuable insight into how ambient scenting actually causes both genders to stay 50% longer than stores without any fragrance. By using ambient scenting, you can truly enhance your customer’s experience as part of your integral marketing campaign. 

Drive Higher Sales and Revenue

There’s nothing better than making your customers feel empowered when engaging with your brand and interacting with your store’s products or services. Since it plays a considerable role in shaping one’s mood, ambient scenting will help your customers stay in-store for much longer and encourage them to purchase more than they would without any fragrance.

Not only will ambient scenting enhance your overall customer experience, it will also compel your target market to actually remember your brand and have positive associations about your company.
