Transformation + Tranquility: How sensory aware marketing is the final frontier for connecting with consumers in the modern area  


Staff Note: The modum for connecting with clients no longer happens in any given place of business, rather long before your clients even leave their homes as most successfully demonstrated by Aesop long before its soon coming trickle down to other industries. 

A 10/25 memo from:
-Bryan, USA
26, he/him
 

In 1987, Dennis Paphitis would pickup a few bottles of essential oil to mask the then motor-oil like hair balm he was massing into his clients hair. Dennis had just crafted what would go onto become the international icon and status symbol: Resurrection - the hand balm by his forthcoming company, Aesop.
You know the story and you surely know the products. Whether it has been hallmarking your favorite Brooklyn spots since 2013 or was located in the hotel bathroom that you took your most beloved mirror shot in, Aesop has dominated a highly ritualized niche of consumer, or brashly labeled “quiet luxury” by the media. It is a status symbol, yet as consumers first ourselves, we often only view status symbols in this context. We only see these rapidly growing icons of their respective industries as mere moments in time, symbols of consumer range and ranking. This common faux pas glosses over an underlying miracle, Aesop’s cunning utilization of sensory sensitive marketing to connect and deepen their roots with clients, long before they enter their storefronts. For the better half of the twenty-ten’s and recently, a growing number of forward thinking companies have exploited the frontier and utilized a similar technique to close sales before they even happen: by meeting their clients in their own homes first.
Dennis, a notoriously simple thinker and introvert, insisted that Aesop meet clients where they stood as soon as they woke. When the company was taking off in the late 2000’s, instead of slamming their offerings into big box stores akin to their contemporaries or advertising with the faces of the latest Mission Impossible film, Dennis focused on further getting their offerings into the homes of specifically their most basic visitors. Dennis wagered the entire future, of the now megalopolis profitable cosmetics company, on a truth that remains to this day one of the most commercially underutilized and unexplored frontiers in marketing: sensory-oriented connection. This risky idea that formed during the company’s earliest booms of 2000’s took hold in the early 2010’a as Aesop made it common practice to offer complimentary single use samples with all purchases regardless of size, in theory, positing itself not only behind the windows of its storefronts, but rather on the every day counters of their prospective and current clients. The average Aesop user visits bi-monthly to restock on hand soap: the company already fulfilled that consumers need, there was no need for the consumer to revisit. However, a purchase of hand soap accompanied with a sample of their immaculate facial tonic now places that iconic serif font logo not just on the sink but in the shower and so forth. Aesop was meeting their clients before their eventual return to the store or a bigger department store for a competing facial product. And the client didn't even know. As soon as that client ran out of facial toner, there was that sample waiting for them. It’s sensory-orientated marketing at its best: practical, meaningful and most importantly - effective. Dennis had successfully leveraged the tranquil of the home, to tranform his clients buying habits.

“It’s the cosmetics industry, of course it worked for Aesop.”The lesson doesn't lay in the industry, rather in the good faith practice of connecting with your clients in their most private settings through already established needs: their senses. The practice is adoptable by any industry, these needs transcend demographics and landscapes - truly making it the final frontier of genuine connection with consumers in the modern area. It’s the obvious truth we occupy market shares in an industries dominated by noise and screen time. Yet what if you met your clients long before your competing restaurant posted their reel convincing them to switch their 6:00pm booking at your place to theirs? Consumers only see what you place in front of them, only thinking of you when they need to. Be in front of them not only when they arrive at your location, but instead six times a day as they wash their hands when no other noise fights to occupy brain space. This is the future of genuine connection, it’s transformation through tranquility.
