While ambient scent diffusion and air freshener services for almost any industry under the sun are beneficial to consumer traffic and establishing brand loyalty, their use in the realm of the automobile industry and particularly, auto dealerships, is both unmistakable and outstanding.
In Pittsburgh, PA, this is most clearly illustrated by the increasing demand
for the duality of ambient scenting services we offer via our sister company, Air-Scent International.
A sensory experience in a showroom almost if not always leads to increased dwell time, which unconsciously can bolster emotional involvement with a specific brand and even serve to put a potential car buyer enough at ease to make a purchase.
Relevant Studies and Statistics
The most current research clearly indicates that the human sense of smell affects some 75% of all our daily emotions and is vital to memory formation.
A recent white paper representing research conducted from Premium Scenting and Walnut Unlimited and entitled:The Ultimate Car Showroom Report indicated that scent impacts the human experience within the span of 5 seconds, making it even a few seconds faster than sight.
This powerfully affects brand impression and if both of the senses are triggered simultaneously, this research suggests that brand influence on the consumer increases by 30%.
This same study further indicated that if three senses were engaged at the same time, the number more than doubled to a whopping 70%.
Some 48% of the consumers examined in this study acknowledged that a pleasant smelling dealership would encourage more lingering time, and 69% admitted that such a smell would positively increase their perception of the idea of luxury or adventure that might be associated with a particular brand.
The idea that scent can leverage specific human emotions is clear. Almost a third of these same participants noted that a pleasing smell could entice them to return to a specific showroom.
Capturing That New Car Smell
Scenting in dealerships unconsciously connects with consumers on a deep, personal level, which in turn helps to win their trust and influence their purchasing choices. Comedienne, Rita Rudner, once said that she found a new perfume that attracts men called New Car Interior.
But what exactly is that new car smell and how can it be strategized to increase sales? The answer is that there is no single solution, as each showroom’s signature scent should reflect the spirit, goals and persona of the brand in question, and determining this requires the consummate skill of our experts at Air-Scent International and their air fresheners that are available via Pestco Professional Services to determine.
This is due to the fact that identifying scents that reflect a particular brand has to be carefully thought out, and that is just as important as nailing down the exact fragrance that will work for that particular showroom.
This strategy requires consummate marketing skill and will only be effective if it leveraged properly.
Ambient scent marketing is both science and an art, and finding that right scent can take a while because the range of choices are virtually endless.
In the case of auto showrooms and dealerships, the needs are very particular because not only is the industry extremely competitive, cars are purchased infrequently even by the wealthiest of clientele, rendering that first impression all the more volatile and significant.
Our teams at Pestco Profession Services know how to narrow down a brand’s demographic, which serves to target specific scent types, as a younger crowd is drawn to some fragrances more than others and the same is true for older consumers.
Showroom smells of leather, rubber, wax and paint can still smell differently and each of them represents a mosaic of connecting tissue between a brand’s unique values, target audience, history and future.
Scenting cements feelings of quality, integrity and confidence in the minds of consumers and imprints an unforgettable connection to a brand.
In addition to creating an indelible first impression, scent marketing also encourages dwell time, which can not only make customers more in the mood to make a purchase, but possibly even likelier to agree to a higher sales price than that which is indicated on a car.
Air-Scent International’s air fresheners, which are available via Pestco Professional Services, provide continuous air freshening and odor protection throughout a car showroom.
Their versatile dispensers and refills, which are laced with the powerful odor neutralizer, Metazene, are top-of-the-line and are guaranteed to keep a dealership or showroom of any size smelling fresh and clean all day long.
These as well as pest and odor control and restroom hygiene services are all available to Pittsburgh industries under one cost-effective, all inclusive blanket of services known as The Complete Care Facility Program.
Facility hygiene, whether it concerns an odor or a pest problem, is an ongoing concern that is most effectively addressed when technicians are called to a scene before a malodor gets out of hand.
The goal of our Complete Care Facility Program is to provide the best odor-control and air freshening services for all of its customers by offering a cost-effective bundle of services from one trusted company (namely Pestco) that provides pest and odor control, air freshening and restroom hygiene services performed by Enviro-Master Services.
