Picture the scene: You are tired and stressed but are about to have a spa experience. As you step through the door and enter the tranquil space, you hear soft, soothing music, your nostrils fill with the faint scent of relaxing lavender, and candles flicker in the soft ambient lighting. Ahh, instant relaxation, and you have not even greeted the receptionist yet!
You have just experienced the power of audio-visual cues, including sights, sounds and fragrances from a strategically placed diffuser.
Scent marketing allows you to tap into this power, so why not boost its effectiveness by including other audio-visual cues?
Influencing The Senses
Individual senses do not operate in isolation. They all work together to help each person create their own holistic impression or perception of their surroundings. You can think of this as multi-sensory integration. Sounds and visuals enhance and reinforce the emotions and memories aroused by scents. We can harness this power by including other senses in our scent marketing efforts.
Effective Pairings of Audio-Visual Cues With Scent
- Sound & Scent: Specific sounds complement and amplify fragrances. Imagine the power of ocean sounds paired with the fragrance of a sea breeze, or calming strains of music with lavender. These combinations will create a greater sense of relaxation than one alone.
- Visuals & Scent: Visual cues strengthen positive associations when paired with an appropriate fragrance. Colours play a role here too. For example, warm hues complement cosy scents, while cool tones enhance fresh aromas.
