Our working
environments are very important to
productivity. Whether you run a retail
business or simply work in an office,
reed diffusers can help create a more
productive environment. There are a
couple of ways to make this happen,
depending on who you are affecting with
the aromas.
Employees
Keeping your
employees alert and interested in working
can be difficult at the best of times,
but as a long work day draws to a close,
you'll find that people tend to get
distracted and sleepy. It's in our
nature, but with the right scent, you can
boost morale and increase productivity.
Studies have also shown that the right
smells can even reduce stress in an
office environment.
Great smells to
use with your reed diffusers within the
office or employee area include the
following:
Rose –
reduces stress and increases brain
function for mathematical operations
Lemon –
increases memory and concentration
Jasmine –
boosts confidence and increases energy
Sandalwood –
eliminates stress and helps fight fatigue
Any of these is a
good scent to use with your employees.
They can be quite beneficial and if you
are using a reed diffuser, the scent will
last for months, keeping everyone on
their toes.
Clients
When you first
walk into a store, the smell is one of
the ways you subconsciously judge the
space. There have been numerous studies
done on the effect of scent on how people
shop and it's quite an important area
that most businesses neglect.
Matching the
aroma to the type of merchandise you sell
can be useful. For example, jasmine or
lavender scents in gardening center are
perfect and can bring back memories of a
grandmother's garden, stimulating
nostalgia and increasing purchases. For a
kitchenware shop, a cinnamon bun diffuser
oil works well to add to the overall
shopping experience.
You don't need to
have a kitchen or gardening space to use
a reed diffuser, however. Did you know
that women are more likely to buy
clothing when the section smells of
vanilla? Men tend to be in the mood to
buy when surrounded by food smells like
cinnamon bun or pumpkin pie. That being
said, just about any pleasant fragrance
will make a store more welcoming.
Reed diffusers
are so easy to use that you can just set
them up and then forget about them,
except for turning the reeds once a week
or so. This means that your business can
improve and work more efficiently through
the use of aromatherapy and you won't be
needing to constantly light candles or
change the potpourri. Reed diffuser oils
come in so many scents that you can
simply choose the ones that would work
for your business and it's very simple to
implement.
