Boutique Retail Scenting Malaysia — Increase Dwell Time from MYR 260/Month

Research on scent in stores is consistent in direction, if modest in size. A meta-analysis of 66 studies found ambient scent has small-to-medium positive effects on shopper responses (Roschk, Loureiro & Breitsohl, 2017), and a field study in one supermarket found shoppers spent around 30% more time in store when a pleasant scent was diffused at high intensity (Leenders et al., 2019). For a boutique, where a longer browse often means a larger basket, dwell time is the effect that matters.
