We’ve written before about the marketing power of scent. Companies are using pleasing aromas to market everything from hotels to tennis balls. Real estate professionals have long known about the warm fuzzies induced by baking bread and chocolate chip cookies.
But can baked goods solve all your scent marketing needs? Let’s say you’re trying to market a home, condo or apartment with a bunch of unappealing smells — whether it be smoke, pet, or cooking odors, the impression on buyers and renters can be a real turn-off that even a bakery can’t mask for long. Well someone has come up with a new aroma approach. It’s called PaintSCENTsations. (According to their PR, 19% of residents complain about odors.)
This Apartment Smells ….. Marvelous
PaintSCENTsations is an air freshener that uses paint as a carrier. According to the distributor, when the product is added to paint and applied on the walls, the scent is imbedded and infuses the room for 4 to 6 months, depending on the room size. The company suggests using 2 coats. (Given the current housing market, you may have to repaint a dozen or so times).
PaintSCENTations comes in 5 scents: Citrus Squeeze, Fresh Air, Sea Breeze, Clean & Crisp and Vanilla Bean.
