Benefits of Sensory Marketing in Funeral Homes
Comfort and Serenity
Especially at such a difficult time, a pleasant environment is key to helping people feel welcome and safe. The strategic use of scent, music and visuals can soothe your visitors, bring back very special memories for them and create a tranquil atmosphere that provides comfort for friends and family members.
Supporting the Healing Process
Sensory stimuli can evoke positive feelings, reduce stress and promote relaxation, supporting mourners as they navigate their loss and begin their healing.
Enhanced Experiences
When first meeting with a family, you can connect with them through multiple senses, elevating their overall experience and making it easier for them to select your funeral home over another.
Sensory Marketing can also make the memorial service more meaningful and create pleasant touchpoints for visitors.
Emotional Connection
Providing a thoughtfully curated Sensory Marketing experience in your funeral home allows you to nurture emotional connections and facilitate healing, allowing mourners to reflect and find comfort after their loss.
Brand Differentiation
When visitors feel comforted by the experience you provide, they’ll be more likely to select your business for their future needs.
Types of Sensory Marketing Services for Funeral Homes
Scent Marketing
Scent Marketing includes the creation and location-wide distribution of an aroma that – ideally – is unique to your brand.
By appealing to your visitors’ sense of smell, you can:
- Ease their stress
- Elevate their mood
- Trigger fond memories
- Create a pleasant ambiance
Video & Digital Signage
With a Video and Digital Signage program, you can play videos and slide presentations on television screens at natural gathering spots throughout your building.
Use that content to:
- Shorten visitors’ perceived wait times
- Share visual memories at viewings and funerals
- Build awareness of your services
Audio Marketing
Audio Marketing includes curating appropriate music and creating thoughtful messaging that play throughout your location.
Music can help grieving friends and family members by:
- Emotionally transporting them to happier times
- Reducing stress, anxiety and depression
- Reminding them of important lyrics and sentiments
- Creating a positive mood
You can also use audio messages to welcome visitors at the entrance and quickly share time-sensitive information.
