  • It remains in the home for some 38 days
  • Ability to connect with the 5 senses (touch, smell, sight, taste, sound)
  • Due to online shopping, people are checking their letterboxes more
  • Human touch is a powerful form of non-verbal communication and triggers memory neuroscience stimulants

How to make your Brand good on the Nose

Candles, Christmas Gifts, Marketing, Real Estate,

Marketing is more effective when we evoke strong senses, and the olfactory senses (smell), are amongst the strongest. Through a variety of pleasant scents, these custom branded Reed Diffusers take advantage of this to create awareness for your brand.

Reed diffusers are flame free and require no power source, unlike candles which also create heat and smoke. The willow reeds absorb the fragrance, translocating it upwards before it is dispersed naturally through evaporation into the environment.

They work equally as well in the office or at home, giving your brand a warm, welcoming kind of feel.
