Sensory marketing and five senses concept

Sensory Marketing is about appealing to all of the senses to create a more memorable experience that drives consumer engagement and loyalty.

Since the parts of the brain that process memory and emotion are right next to each other, memories often prompt related feelings. And those emotions have a direct impact on decision making. Research shows that 91% of consumers are more likely to buy a product or service after a positive brand experience.

4 Benefits of Sensory Marketing

#1: Enhanced Brand Recall and Differentiation: Imagine if all your stores or offices featured the same branded scent. Your customers would come to expect it. They’d recognize it as part of who you are. Along with your logo, colors and photography style, that scent would serve as an additional brand layer that customers could grab onto. Sensory Marketing elements such as a branded scent help you connect with consumers in unique, memorable ways, giving your products a competitive edge in a crowded marketplace.

#2: Brand Loyalty: Providing consistently positive brand experiences cultivates trust, inspires brand loyalty and gives people reasons to talk to others about you.

#3: Increased Engagement: When your products and environment speak to your customers’ senses, they’ll feel more engaged with your brand.

#4: Greater Revenue: 65% of brands that use Sensory Marketing see a boost in sales.

"We have been working with April for about 4 months, since taking over following a client management transition. Whenever a change occurs when working closely with a company like MadAve, there is always uncertainty around how smoothly things will go. April quickly stepped into the role and handled our account like she had been working with us for months. She has great attention to detail and — most importantly — a unique ability to hold us accountable to providing the MadAve team what they need, when they need it. April has proven herself to be extremely organized and phenomenal when it comes to follow up. She is a tremendous asset for us."

She brings our marketing plans to life, coordinating resources from diverse groups, both internal and external, keeping everyone organized and on-track.

"We've worked with MadAveGroup since 1996 in many different facets. In 2017, we implemented Pay-Per-Click and Search Engine Optimization programs, which have been instrumental in our ability to grow an average of 5.5 new customers per day for several years. Their client managers are friendly and bright and keep us updated with monthly reports. They are always there to help, answering phone calls and replying to emails almost instantly. I cannot say enough good things about MadAveGroup."

"I am most impressed with Brian and Jessica (and the team) for their abilities to be flexible and patient to come up with something that works best for our company and not just push us into something we would not be comfortable with just to get the money. This approach tells me they value the long-term relationship and not just the immediate win. Thank you all!"
