Use this guide to calculate your specific scent marketing cost and estimated commercial return based on your business type, space size and current metrics.
Step 1: Calculate Your Monthly Plan Cost
| Your Space Size | Your Market | Recommended Plan | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 250 sq ft (single room) | Singapore | Boutique plug-in | SGD $80 |
| Up to 250 sq ft | Malaysia | Boutique plug-in | MYR 150 |
| Up to 250 sq ft | Australia | Boutique plug-in | AUD 100 |
| Up to 250 sq ft | UK | Boutique plug-in | £65 |
| 250–500 sq ft | Singapore | Professional wall-mounted | SGD $150 |
| 250–500 sq ft | Malaysia | Professional wall-mounted | MYR 280 |
| 500–2,000 sq ft | Singapore | Commercial column | SGD $250 |
| 500–2,000 sq ft | Australia | Commercial column | AUD 300 |
| Up to 3,000 sq ft (HVAC) | Singapore | Enterprise AC duct | SGD $400 + $200 install |
| Up to 3,000 sq ft (HVAC) | UK | Enterprise AC duct | £320 + £160 install |
Step 2: Calculate Your Break-Even
| Business Type | Monthly Plan | Break-Even Calculation | Conservative Monthly Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dental practice (80 patients/month) | $80 Boutique | 1 avoided cancellation @ $150 value | $70 net after plan cost |
| Cafe (200 covers/week) | $150 Professional | 7% uplift in avg spend @ $20 avg = $1.40 extra × 866 covers/month | $1,062 incremental revenue |
| Gym (200 members) | $250 Commercial | 2% retention improvement × $80 avg membership | $320 recovered churn |
| Boutique retail ($15,000/month revenue) | $150 Professional | 19% uplift (UK retail study) = $2,850 incremental | $2,700 net after plan cost |
| Hotel lobby (Professional) | $150 Professional | 0.3 star improvement in Google rating → 5% booking uplift | Variable but documented |
Step 3: Multi-Location Network Calculator
For multi-location operators, multiply the per-location cost by your outlet count and calculate the consolidated network ROI. A 10-outlet dental group on Boutique plans: 10 × $80 = $800/month. Break-even: 5.3 avoided cancellations across the network per month — easily achievable at the documented anxiety reduction rates.

How accurate are the ROI estimates?
The break-even calculations use conservative versions of published research findings. The Nike retail study (84% purchase intent increase) and the Florida imaging centre study (50% cancellation reduction) are the source data — we apply 7–19% as conservative real-world estimates rather than the full published figures.
