In this article, we\u2019ll break down the importance of these benefits and explain how you can find the best ambient scent solution for your needs and budget.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.15″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.15″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The idea is to complement welcoming and friendly service with a pleasant and defined scent that represents your brand. Doing so will give guests a more positive first impression while setting the tone for an incredible experience to come. It all adds up to a more memorable experience that your guests will remember and want to repeat \u2013 which is the key to establishing brand loyalty.<\/p>\n
Creating brand loyalty is all about connecting with your guests on a more personal level in ways that make them feel as if your brand is theirs. The quality of the service you provide will be the primary factor in establishing this connection, but what your guests see, hear and smell has the power to drive to their affinity for your brand even further.<\/p>\n
As we explain in How to Create Lasting Guest Loyalty<\/a>, Scent is just one element of a multi-sensory experience, and it should work alongside anything your guests see and hear to create an atmosphere that represents your brand values and image.<\/p>\n Aim for fragrances that embody the personality of your brand. Is your brand young and vibrant? Homey and relaxed? Cool and modern? A qualified Scent Marketing provider will be able to help you choose the right scents for your brand so that you can connect with your unique clientele on a more personal level.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As Scent Marketing Research teaches us<\/a>, the olfactory nerve is what manages our sense of smell, and it\u2019s directly linked to the part of the brain that monitors emotions. 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 Peppermint and cinnamon<\/strong> can have a stimulative effect. Cinnamon can induce feelings of euphoria and happiness.<\/p>\n Citrus<\/strong> scents can uplift moods, ease anxiety and even boost productivity \u2013 which can be a real boon for your staff and guests that use your property for remote work or conferences.<\/p>\n Vanilla<\/strong> can be highly effective at reducing anxiety.<\/p>\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\u2019s also great at promoting a state of restfulness and inducing sleep.<\/p>\n Eucalyptus-type fragrances<\/strong> can be very invigorating. They can also aid as a nasal decongestant, which can be an added benefit for your guests during the winter and other common allergy seasons.<\/p>\n When choosing scents, ask yourself, \u201cHow do I want my guests to feel when they\u2019re at my property?\u201d Do you want them to feel invigorated? Energized? Relaxed? At home? The provider you choose should advise when and where to deploy specific scents. As a result, you\u2019ll be more equipped to ensure that guests feel the way you want them to during their stay.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.15″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As guests become more aware of sanitization, clean fragrances can go a long way in masking odors and providing additional peace of mind that your property is clean and pristine.<\/p>\n Though your kitchen may not always be active, the aroma of freshly-baked bread, coffee or chocolate 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 hospitality. 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 bet is to choose a professional provider that offers a variety of commercial-grade equipment, including:<\/p>\n Each of these devices covers spaces of different size, from the lobby and lounge to hallways or individual conference rooms. Make sure that the vendor you partner with is experienced in serving the hospitality industry. They\u2019ll understand the role of Scent in enhancing the guest 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 [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.15″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/moodmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/scentwave.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.15″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.15″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.15.1″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n You can further consolidate costs and mitigate risk by working with a Scent provider that also offers other solutions for your guest experience such as Music, Messaging, Digital Signage and AV Systems.
