While Scent Marketing is commonly employed in a variety of consumer goods industries, this tool is especially useful in the healthcare field. It\u2019s no mystery that scent is the strongest sense tied to memory and emotion, which is why healthcare providers of all types and sizes leverage Scent Marketing to improve the patient experience in a variety of ways:<\/p>\n

In fact, 75% of the emotions we generate on a daily basis \u2013 both positive and negative \u2013 are directly influenced by our sense of smell. As such, specific scents can induce specific behaviors and feelings. For example:<\/p>\n Vanilla<\/strong> can be highly effective at reducing anxiety and reducing claustrophobia in MRI facilities. It can also help calm patients before medical surgeries and dental procedures, and is also effective at calming residents at assisted living facilities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Citrus<\/strong> scents can also uplift moods, ease anxiety and boost concentration. As a result, many offices deploy lemon scents in order to help increase employee productivity and decrease mistakes. A study in Japan showed that the presence of lemon scents helped reduce keyboard errors by more than 50%.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Lavender<\/strong> can promote a decrease in anxiety and an increase in cognitive function, as indicated by a study performed at the J. Medical Association in Thailand. It is also great at promoting a state of restfulness and inducing sleep.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Peppermint<\/strong> and cinnamon can have a stimulative effect. Cinnamon can induce feelings of euphoria, while also improving memory and attention span.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n While there are a variety of scent solutions to choose from, it\u2019s important to remember that not all scent solutions are suitable for use in a healthcare facility. For example, home-based oil diffusers aren\u2019t designed for commercial use, and they\u2019ll end up being more expensive and far less effective than a commercial-grade scent diffuser.<\/p>\n Your best choice is to partner with a professional provider that offers a variety of commercial-grade equipment, including:<\/p>\n Each of these devices covers spaces of different sizes, from individual exam rooms and hallways to entire floors. Make sure that the vendor you partner with is experienced in serving the healthcare industry. They\u2019ll understand the role of Scent in enhancing the patient experience, and they\u2019ll recommend the right equipment and fragrances for your needs. They\u2019ll also provide the most optimal placement of diffusion systems based on your unique facility.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can further consolidate costs and mitigate risk by working with a Scent provider that also offers other solutions for your patient experience, such as Music, Messaging, Digital Signage and AV Systems. Partnering with a healthcare media specialist<\/a> will result in a more cohesive experience throughout each practice and provide greater consistency across your entire footprint.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n We hope that this article has provided you with a better understanding of how Scent can improve the experience for patients, visitors and staff.
