Government Service Centre Scent Marketing — Reduce Perceived Wait Time and Improve Satisfaction Scores

Columbia Business School research documented 35–40% shorter perceived wait times in scented service environments — one of the most directly applicable findings for government service counters where wait time is the primary satisfaction driver. Singapore government agencies and Malaysian GLC front offices increasingly evaluate citizen experience quality as a strategic metric.
