For many marketers (and consumers), the affectivity, perception and pleasure are more important than the price,
since many products are now technically similar: they have to be differentiated in another way. Sensory branding is based
on the idea that human beings most likely to form, retain and revisit memory when all five senses
(taste, smell, sight, sound and touch) are engaged. Sense, as per Oxford English Dictionary, is any of the faculties, as sight,
hearing, smell, taste, or touch, by which humans and animals perceive stimuli originating from outside or inside the body.
Keeping marketing in perspective, marketers started using these human instincts as a strategy to sell their goods or services
by creating such environment that appeals to senses at the point of sale. Kotler (1973) defined the atmosphere of point of
sale as “the creation of a consumption environment that produces specific emotional effects on the person, like pleasure or
excitation that can increase his possibility of buying”. He considered the creation of this atmosphere as the most important
strategic way of differentiation for retailers.
