The customer experience is essential for any business that relies on repeat customers, especially for fleet managers and rental car businesses. As businesses move closer and closer to the ultimate customer experience, the importance of smell cannot be overlooked. Customers correlate a clean smell with a clean vehicle, instantly improving the experience and providing peace of mind. Unfortunately, lingering odors are one of the leading causes of negative customer feedback. In the age of ride sharing, along with the increase in car rentals, odor elimination beyond the surface has become essential to providing an enjoyable customer experience.
Spiffy's Smart Tumbler is the perfect solution that allows fleet managers and rental car companies to offer a clean and pleasant customer experience essential to success. Let’s examine why.
“75% of all emotions generated every day are due to smell. Scent affects mood, concentration, memory recall, and emotion. Research shows there is a 40% improvement in mood after being exposed to pleasant scents.”
Smell Test
Our sense of smell is the strongest of the five senses, and the one most tied to memory and emotion. It can instantly transport us to another place and time, evoke long-forgotten memories, and influence our moods and emotions. This is why creating a pleasant scent in rental cars is so important to the customer experience. A clean, inviting scent improves customer satisfaction and sentiment. Conversely, strong or overwhelming odors can be off-putting and make customers nauseous.
It's important to avoid fragrances that are too sweet or heavy while ensuring scents are evenly distributed throughout the car. The Smart Tumbler is a great way to achieve this goal. Our easy-to-use product fits into any cupholder and delivers a water-activated chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas throughout the interior cabin and ventilation system. With the Smart Tumbler, rental car companies can create a more pleasant environment for their customers, leading to improved satisfaction ratings and repeat business.
