There’s nothing quite like opening a gift and being surprised by a beautiful aroma the moment you open the package. While items like custom branded candles and reed diffusers are generally thought of as the types of items you buy in shops, here at Cubic Promote we’ve had an increase in demand for businesses seeking promotional gifts that are just that bit different from the norm. So today, let’s take a look at some of these goodies and what exactly makes them smell so good!
Why choose scented gifts?
Scented promotional gifts combine practical homeware with fragrance, giving recipients another sensory cue that they can associate with your brand and gift experience. Research has established a close relationship between smell and memory, including the ability of odours to trigger autobiographical memories. That makes fragrance an interesting consideration for corporate gifting. Rather than relying only on a printed logo, a scented product can create an experience when the recipient opens and uses it. Cubic Promote currently supplies custom candles and reed diffusers that can be branded for corporate gifts, events and promotional campaigns.
Which scented items should you consider?
Choose a fragrance product according to where recipients will use it, how much you want to spend, and the type of gift experience you want to create.
Cubic Promote’s current home fragrance range includes reed diffusers, candles and air freshener products in different price points and formats.
Are branded candles good corporate gifts?
Branded candles suit corporate gifting when you want an item that feels more considered than a standard giveaway and offers visible packaging or vessel branding. Current Cubic Promote candle options include scented products supplied in branded jars, glass vessels and gift-style packaging.
They can suit:
- Client thank-you gifts
- Conference gift packs
- Property settlement gifts
- End-of-year gifts
- Hospitality and lifestyle campaigns
Because candles involve an open flame, recipients should follow the supplied safety instructions. Read this case study about Megasealed, who ordered candles from us.
When should you choose a reed diffuser?
Reed diffusers suit recipients who want continuous fragrance without lighting a candle, which can make them practical for homes, offices and reception areas.
The reeds absorb fragrance from the bottle and disperse it into the surrounding area. Cubic Promote currently offers several branded diffuser styles, including products packaged specifically as promotional gifts.
They can work particularly well in property, hospitality, beauty, wellness and professional-service campaigns where presentation matters.
How should you choose the fragrance?
Choose a relatively familiar fragrance for broad audiences and make sure the scent complements your campaign rather than overpowering the gift itself. Fragrance preference differs between individuals, so avoid assuming that one scent will appeal equally to everyone.
Before ordering, consider:
- Who will receive the gift
- The season or occasion
- How the scent fits your brand personality
- Whether different fragrance options are available
- The packaging and presentation
- The size and position of your logo
Vanilla and other familiar fragrances can provide a straightforward starting point for large corporate orders. Several current Cubic Promote candle ranges use vanilla fragrances.
What should you check before ordering in bulk?
Review the scent, product size, packaging and branding method before production so the finished gift matches the experience you want recipients to have.
Ask for:
- Available fragrance choices
- Minimum order quantities
- Branding dimensions
- Print, engraving or label options
- Samples where fragrance and presentation are important
Packaging options
A physical sample is particularly useful for scented merchandise because a photograph cannot show how strong or subtle the fragrance actually feels.
