Increases Sales and Customer Engagement and Awareness with a Store that Smells Tasty and Clean!
Scenting for Convenience Stores - Your guests and employees are going to smell your store—it’s unavoidable. If you’re not managing how it smells, something else is.
Common malodors that are solved by scenting convenience stores include the following:
- Merchandise odor
- Furniture and flooring odor
- Body odor
- Restroom odor
These types of malodors cannot be resolved with cleaning solutions alone without smelling like an institution, which is where Aroma Retail helps the Retail Industry with our convenience store scents.
Scenting for convenience stores is done for many reasons:
- A scented convenience store smells clean and well-maintained, with a fresh inventory.
- Increased revenue from guests shopping more, impulse buying, and returning more often, by creating a better first impression.
- Increased productivity from employees because everyone has a better mood and is more comfortable in a great smelling store.
- Without scenting, your store design and décor are incomplete and just doesn’t feel right.
