Smell research
One study on smell found that photos and images of food alone aren't enough to trigger the feeling of hunger that compels people to buy food. Researchers attribute this to the fact that the visual representation isn't realistic enough to convince the brain that someone is hungry. What does this mean for cafes, restaurants, and other foodservice businesses? These businesses' marketing strategies will be more effective when they incorporate the sense of smell.
