Read how HBR covers Prof. Krishna's work on Sensory Marketing.
Prof. Krishna defines sensory marketing as: “Marketing that engages the consumers' senses and affects their perception, judgment and behavior.” She suggests that "sensory marketing can be used to create subconscious triggers that characterize consumer perceptions of abstract notions of the product (e.g., its sophistication or quality)." She claims that “In the past, communications with customers were essentially monologues—companies just talked at consumers. Then they evolved into dialogues, with customers providing feedback. Now they’re becoming multidimensional conversations, with products finding their own voices and consumers responding viscerally and subconsciously to them.”
