In today’s unpredictable economy, small retail businesses need every advantage to stay competitive and boost foot traffic. One proven strategy that’s gaining traction is scent marketing. With HVAC-integrated scenting, retailers are enhancing the in-store experience, driving more time spent shopping—and ultimately, increasing sales.
How Scent Marketing Works
Scent marketing taps into the brain’s limbic system, which processes emotion and memory. A strategically chosen fragrance can create a positive emotional response, making customers feel more relaxed and welcome.
According to a study by the Journal of Retailing, shoppers linger 15–20% longer in pleasantly scented stores, and are more likely to make purchases. In tough economic times, that extra edge matters.
