How is the association, is it positive or negative?
Is the association really distinctive and meaningful?
Does the association evoke memories and experience?

End Note• 83% of commercial communication appeals only to the
sense of sight• It’s extraordinary as 75% of our daily emotions is
influenced by what we smell and there’s a 65% chance of mood change when exposed to positive sound
• Importance of our senses has been completely overlooked in the brand building business
• It’s difficult for a single brand to impart all sensory elements
• The idea is to engage customers on a wide range of touch points to create impactful brand
