Sensory branding involves promoting products by appealing to customers' senses, including sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Techniques like visual displays in stores, auditory cues for product associations, and distinctive scents enhance customer experience and brand recognition. Effective sensory branding creates a multisensory experience that can influence purchasing behavior and foster brand loyalty.
