The next time you feel a little more at peace with yourself during a shopping trip, thank Enhanced Air Technologies.
Tapping consumers' noses to open their wallets may sound like an odd marketing strategy, but the Vancouver-based biotech company thinks its new product will be a hit among retailers looking to beat sluggish sales.
Yesterday, the company unveiled its Commercaire pheromone, a synthetic compound that mimics the maternal sense of comfort piped to children when they're crying or otherwise unhappy.
Filtered into a store through air ducts or a small fan under the cashier's desk, for example, the odourless substance is meant to relax customers so they stay longer, and buy more.
Anything to get a little more money out of the public. That's what its all about. Work harder! Increase your productivity! Take reduced benefits! Go and spend spend SPEND!
