Lobby Scenting ROI, Its as simple as 1,2,3 with NeoScent International

1. Evidence

• A 2022 study by the Scent Marketing Institute found that ambient scenting in hotels increased guest satisfaction scores by 20%.

• Research published in the Journal of Retailing (Spangenberg et al.) shows that pleasant scents extend customer dwell time by up to 40%.

• A survey by HospitalityNet reported that 63% of hotel guests are more likely to return to a property that “smells pleasant and distinctive.”

2. Impact

• Lobby scenting by NeoSceent typically costs less than 1% of a hotel’s operating expenses, yet influences every guest walking through the door.

• Positive first impressions in the lobby contribute directly to higher online review scores.

• Repeat bookings and longer stays are more common when the guest experience is multisensory.

3. ROI

• Example: For a 200-room 4-star hotel, scenting the lobby with NeoScent may cost less than B10,000 per month. If it results in even a 2% increase in repeat bookings, the revenue gain far outweighs the expense.

• Scent branding strengthens differentiation, supporting higher room rates compared to unscented competitors.
