How to Use Personalized Air Fresheners as an Effective Marketing Tool: A Case Study
In a competitive market, businesses are constantly seeking creative ways to stand out. One often underestimated yet highly effective method is the personalized air freshener. Small, affordable, and eye-catching – these scented promotional tools hang from rearview mirrors and promote your brand every day. But how effective are they really? Let’s take a closer look.
The Power of Scent in Branding
Scent is directly linked to memory and emotion. That’s why brands like hotels or car manufacturers use signature scents to create an emotional bond with their customers. Personalized air fresheners combine brand visibility with emotional triggers, making them one of the few promotional items that work on both a visual and emotional level.
