Rub'nSmell® Applications

Rub'nSmell® is incredibly versatile! By transforming print into a multi-sensory medium, Rub'nSmell® increases the impact, recall, value, and effectiveness of your marketing efforts. Use Rub'nSmell® on one or all of the applications listed below.

Magazines

Value to Your ROI

  • Magazine ads can be scented at greatly reduced costs versus using scented inserts.
  • Scent makes print ads highly interactive.
  • Rub'nSmell® will release scent many times, so pass along readers will experience the scent as well.
  • Ads scented with Rub'nSmell® will not smell up a magazine so even print media resistant to scented inserts will accept Rub'nSmell.®


Catalogs, Direct Mail, and FSI's

Using Rub'nSmell® increases the response rates of direct mail, catalogs and FSI's. Not only can printed scents be used as sampling tools for scented products, Rub'nSmell® scents are also an effective tool for engaging readers and getting them to interact with sales materials.

Value for Your ROI

  • The increase in response rates from scenting your printed piece could more than offset the additional cost of applying Rub'nSmell.®
  • The novelty of scent gives pause to readers to take note and open catalogs and direct mail.


Folding Cartons

Rub'nSmell® can be used to cost-effectively scent the outer packaging of folding cartons.

A study conducted by The New York Times' marketing research department discovered that when given a choice between two similar food or beverage products, 81 percent of consumers would choose one they could smell and see over one they could only see.

  • Engage shoppers and demonstrate the value of the product
  • Increase the likelihood that a shopper will pick your product (versus another)
  • Increase the value of the product by creating interest
  • Offer a scent on the outside so that shoppers won't open (and damage) the package

Value for Your ROI

* Rub'nSmell® can be cost effectively applied in-line to a multitude of folding cartons.
* POPAI (Point of Purchase Advertising International) states that 75% of buying decisions are made in store at the Point of Purchase. Scented packaging ensures that your package is maximizing impulse sales.


Assorted Printed Products

Rub'nSmell® adds importance to ordinary printed products. By elevating the perceived value of promotional items, Rub'nSmell® maximizes marketing promotional efforts. Studies indicate that consumers spend more time with a product that includes a scent.

  • Rub'nSmell® creates a high level of novelty and value
  • Rub'nSmell® is so versatile that it can be used to scent anything printed
