Enhance Your Parishioner’s Experience with a Place of Worship that Smells Welcoming and Serene!

Scenting a Church/Place of Worship 

Your guests and employees are going to smell your place of worship – it’s unavoidable. If you’re not managing how it smells, something else is.

Common malodors that are solved by scenting churches and other places of worship include the following:

• Furniture and carpet odor
• Stale air odor
• Body odor
• Garbage odor
• Food odor

These types of malodors cannot be resolved with cleaning solutions alone without smelling like an institution, which is where Aroma Retail helps churches and other places of worship with our church fragrances.

Scenting for churches and other places of worship is done for many reasons:

• A scented place of worship is both uplifting and embracing, and feels more socially safe.
• Deeper connection for spiritual leaders as well as guests.
• Increased loyalty and donations from converting more visitors into a consistent congregation
• Create a better first impression with more meaningful and memorable visits because of your Divine scent
• Increased comfort for guests and productivity from volunteers and employees because everyone has a better mood in a great smelling place of worship.
• Without scenting, your design and décor are incomplete and just doesn’t feel right.

Facts to consider about the impact of scenting for churches and other places of worship:

• Décor is not the first thing your guests and employees notice when they walk through your door – it’s the smell.
• People are 100% more likely to remember what they smell in places of worship vs what they see, hear or touch.
• Research indicates a 40% improvement in mood when exposed to a pleasing scent, which is critical to a successful religious gathering.
• A large call center company surveyed its employees and found that scenting resulted in increased cognition and rejuvenation, which indicates a more attentive congregation with higher productivity for spiritual leaders, employees, and volunteers.
• A national health club chain’s guests reported feeling more sustained natural highs from their workouts in scented facilities.
• In a study conducted by Samsung, shoppers underestimated the amount of time they spent shopping by 25% and visited 3x more sections when exposed to aromas, which indicates better memories and attendance for your congregation.
• Nike participants paid 10 -15% more for a pair of shoes in a scented area, which indicates more confidence in making donations.
