Why are Scent Diffusers Important?

Picture this: you’re the operations manager of a convention center. With different vendors coming in and out for various conventions, the center has taken on some odd scents—mustiness, old paper, and something plastic-like. Visitors are starting to comment on the strange smells as the building ages, but what can you do for such a large space?

At State Chemical, we manufacture and distribute chemical solutions for various problems, including ambient odor issues. Scenting solutions can be difficult to find for larger spaces, but ambient scenting is an important option to consider.

In this article, we will explain what ambient scenting is, why it’s important, and how it can improve your facility’s image. After reading, you’ll know how ambient scenting could benefit your facility.

What is a Scent Diffuser?

Ambient scenting involves using automated scent diffuser machines to fragrance a space. Depending on your system, this space can range from the size of a one-stall bathroom to that of an entire sporting arena.

This system is usually wall-mounted, situated on a flat surface, or connected to your air handling unit (AHU) for diffusing throughout the building. In any case, it works to eliminate odors and add a pleasant fragrance to any area it’s applied to.

Why is Ambient Scenting Important?

Scent diffusers are important because of the consistency and constancy of their technique. When you’re in a situation with constant odors, this can make a significant difference.

Imagine that you’re the manager of an indoor trampoline park. As long as your business is up and running with visitors, you’ll be dealing with foot odors, sweat odors, and other body odors permeating the air. In this kind of business, odors are never going away without intervention. If you used ambient scenting in this facility, you could consistently control these odors so that guests view your space as clean and welcoming.

Aside from odor control, ambient scenting is useful for building a brand scent personality that will forge positive associations in your customers’ minds. When you pick a pleasant fragrance, you can characterize your facility as pleasant—or as cozy, modern, organized, bold, or any other vibe you want to emit.

When customers become familiar with your facility, smelling that pleasant fragrance will remind them of memories at your facility. So, maybe you’re not running a trampoline park, but you’re opening a brand-new home store. Odors probably aren’t a concern from the get-go, but adding an ambient scent can help your facility have the chic aura you’re striving for.

Scent diffusers can accomplish different purposes depending on your situation, but if you value ambient fragrancing throughout your facility to any degree, scent diffusers are the solution for you.

How Can a Scent Diffuser Impact Your Facility’s Image?

To think more deeply about your brand image, consider your favorite place. Maybe it’s your house, a park, a coffee shop, or a store. Why do you like this place so much? What memories have you made in this place? What does it look like? Who does it remind you of? What does it make you feel?

Chances are that when you think about this favorite place, you have a vivid image in your mind—and that image probably includes what the location smells like. Now, think about the potential you have to create the same experience for your customers.

When you choose the right scent for your brand, you can stand out from the competition. Think about other businesses in your industry. How can you offset what they’re bringing to the table and pleasantly surprise your customers? Put a little extra effort into fragrancing, and your facility will come across as cleaner and more favorable for it.

You may be thinking to yourself, “What if I manage a funeral home? No matter how pleasant it smells, no one will want to be there.” And let’s face it, for some businesses, this is true.

However, you can still make your facility feel clean. The majority of people aren’t eager to get into a funeral home, but your business can have a more positive reputation if it seems clean and professional.

This is what ambient scenting is about: knowing your audience and choosing the most positive fragrance option accordingly.
