Increase Customer Engagement and Satisfaction With a Dealership that Smells Inviting and Invigorating!

Scenting for Car Dealerships 

Your guests and employees are going to smell your car dealership—it’s unavoidable. If you’re not managing how it smells, something else is.

Common malodors that are solved by scent marketing for car dealers include the following:

• Less desirable new-car odors such as certain plastics and rubber, fuel and oil
• Furniture and carpet odor
• Restroom odor
• Break area or kitchen odor
• Body odor

These types of malodors cannot be resolved with cleaning solutions alone without smelling like an institution, which is where Aroma Retail helps the Car Dealership Industry.

Scent marketing for car dealers is done for many reasons:

• A scented car dealership is both sophisticated and defines its own new-car smell.
• Increased revenue from guests willing to stay longer, upgrade, and come back for service appointments, by creating a better first impression and more reassuring experience because your space smells confident and luxurious.
• Increased productivity from employees because everyone has a better mood and is more comfortable in a great smelling car dealership.
• Without scenting, your car dealership design and décor are incomplete and just doesn’t feel right.
