Brand Scents: Scenting local banks

by | Business Marketing

Scent marketing has proved to contribute to sales and brand identities in numerous industries. It is, therefore, no surprise that your more conservative industries have embraced intentional scenting. These industries include financial institutions that are using aromas as a frontier for branding and client communication.

 

Why banks should be scented

Individuals who find themselves in a bank, most likely, don’t want to be there. There is a hurried and anxious energy that is often felt when entering this space. This negative experience is engraved into the minds of all customers. This has forced banks to seek innovative ways to win and retain clients.

Adding a well-thought-out fragrance throughout all bank branches will create a relaxing atmosphere. This will calm both busy tellers, bankers and customers. Banking experiences will thus be perceived as less dull and stressful.

Our scenting systems are therefore a subtle yet powerful tool that will help your brand forge emotional connections with the general public. After all the root of successful scent marketing lies in odour control.

Employing a signature scent throughout your bank means that your intent is to set a tone of comfort, relaxation and peace of mind. Money, whether it is a little or a lot, is often a stress for many. Your clients will therefore not only rely on your staff to ease the tension of the environment, but the atmosphere created using an aroma.
