Delve into the core principles of Sensory Marketing and store atmospherics. Throughout this session, you’ll investigate the essence of Sensory Marketing, its interplay with concepts like Customer Experience and important frameworks, and the direct connections between our senses and specific brain regions. Explore the strategic application of Sensory Marketing, learning when and how it can be effectively utilized. The session concludes with an examination of both conscious and subconscious visual cues, including considerations like color schemes, in-store layout patterns, customer flow, and visual aisle management. Additionally, we’ll look at the impact of social cues such as the presence of other shoppers and the appearance of sales staff on consumer behavior.
In this second session we will focus on two senses: smell and taste. First, you will unravel the (emotional) strength of olfactory marketing from an evolutionary perspective, how important smell congruency is, discover the difference in effectiveness between ambient and product scent, as well as its potential dangers. Second, concerning taste, you will examine one of the most fundamental marketing techniques: sampling, how taste is heavily dependent from intrinsic (e.g. product color) and extrinsic products attributes (e.g. branding, pricing, framing), as well as the other multiple limitations of gustatory marketing.
This third session will immerse us in exploring our two remaining senses: hearing and touch. Initially, we’ll explore the impact of music genre, volume, and tempo on consumer reactions, alongside delving into product sound and sonic branding. Subsequently, we’ll conclude this online workshop by delving into the ways in which (non)touching products shapes consumer behavior, how various shopping aids alter shopping behavior, and the significance of weight, temperature, and texture on product evaluations.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll gain a thorough grasp of sensory marketing, its applicable contexts, key considerations for retailers in store design, a breakdown of alternative store atmospherics & pros and cons, and practical applications in both professional and academic realms. This knowledge empowers you to comprehend how retailers enhance the shopping experience. Elevate your (sensory) marketing expertise and foster evidence based decision- making by joining this dynamic and interactive workshop.
