What is sensory marketing?
Sensory marketing is the use of external stimuli such as smells, sounds, textures and visuals to create an emotional response in consumers. This approach is based on the psychology of perception: influencing a person’s senses helps to create long-term emotional connections between a brand and a consumer. The goal of sensory marketing is to enhance the buying experience so that a person not only enjoys interacting with a product, but also remembers it on an emotional level.

According to Airat Safiullin, the use of aromas and sounds in marketing strategies gives companies a powerful competitive advantage. Unlike standard advertising, which only affects the visual channel of perception, sensory marketing activates more channels, which allows for a deeper influence on consumer behavior and preferences.
