Sensory marketing as a new tool of supporting the marketing communication process in tourism services sector

Summary/Abstract: Marketing communication comprises the entirety of the activities undertaken to create and market an idea of a company and its product, as well as distributing the idea among various groups of people. Communication is a highly dynamic phenomenon, and we can observe the continuous development of new forms of marketing communication: internet communication, mobile communication, viral marketing, buzz marketing, guerrilla marketing, advergaming, and ambush marketing. The sensory impact on the customer’s senses, defined as sensory marketing, is a relatively new tool of supporting the marketing communication process. Multisensory technologies are becoming more and more common in the sector of tourism services. Sensory marketing is a great add-on to the traditional forms of marketing communication and an integral part of a multisensory brand experience. The aim of this study is to describe the holistic concept of sensory marketing, identify the forms and ways of influencing people’s senses in the process of selling consumer goods, as well as provide some examples from the tourism services sector. This is the review article.
