- You buy because your nose tells you to. A parable about holiday scents.
It happened to you too. You had a specific goal and specific items on your list. You entered the mall and were immediately hit with the aroma of cinnamon, and the sounds of Christmas songs filled the air. You left with things you hadn't intended to buy. Where do you look for the "guilty one"?
You thought you had a head for shopping? That you shop with your eyes? Think again. Those subtle
scents that lull you into a state of near-bliss. That aromatic scent of coffee, chocolate, or baked goods that makes you reach for another product. Don't blame yourself. The "culprit" is your
nose .
Colors and music
Holiday shopping is a carefully crafted process. Retailers know how to subconsciously influence their customers to make them more interested in their products. Warm colors like red and yellow, for example, attract shoppers and encourage spontaneous shopping. However, it's not just colors or music that create the right atmosphere.
Smells
Retailers are now paying greater attention to the sense of smell. Scents enable them to achieve what visual and auditory elements fail to achieve: a more refined connection with the brand.
An emotional bond that lasts . This is easily achieved during the pre-holiday season. This is possible thanks to scents that evoke the warmth of family on these special days of the year, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus, cloves, and cranberries.
