Restaurant Giveaway Air Fresheners: A Practical Guide for Food Brands

The hanging air freshener is a popular choice because of its fragrance, and is rarely seen other than when it is unpacked. An ornamental one deserves a second look. Can be viewed from either side, slightly mobile when touched and can be observed after the initial olfactory perception.

AromaEase's Chinese Inspired Rotating Hanging Air Freshener features a scented paper card, an independently rotating center, a hanging cord and a red tassel. The consideration here is not whether they look great in the picture of a product, but whether these details fit together to create a product for a retailer.

Identify a different property of this card

The center can rotate, thus providing a second visual layer to the card. When seen from the front, the outer frame and inner disc make one piece of design. As the center rotates, the two's relationship changes. That motion can contribute to the item being attractive as a present or adorning accent.

Some further information about gold foil is also on the product page, as well as cloud patterns and a red tassel. These details form a unique look; they're not plain elements that will work for all retailers. A retailer should ask themselves if the design would be suitable for the customer's, the setting of the display and any cultural explanation which is provided with the product.

Manipulate a sample to gain understanding about the construction. Rotate the middle card slowly and see if the middle card rotates without flexing the outer card. Look for it on the front, back and edge. A product that is interactive should have a sense of coherence both in the hand and in a photo.

Look at the Hanging Object as a Whole

On a standard flat card you will have one outline. This also includes a cord, layered center and tassel, thus extending its hanging length beyond that of the paper body. Measure and inspect the entire sample in the planned display / use area.

See what happens to the card as it comes to rest. Is the tassel straight? Is the turning center within the external design? Does the cord twist such that the art is turned away from the viewer? It's little things, but they help to set the customer's impression when the freshener is out of its box.

Hang a sample if the product is to be exhibited in a retail display, don't lay all the units flat. A brief explanation of the rotating function might convey the product more quickly than a lengthy shelf card. Ensure that the display is not in such a position that employees have to keep going to the stock that is for sale to demonstrate the movement.

Select an Appropriate Location to hang It

Cars, home, offices and gifts are listed as uses on the product page. Various amounts of space are available in these locations. While it may be fine when hanging on a wall hook, a tasselled card may be too distracting for some positions in a vehicle. Try the entire product where you would like to recommend it.

The card should not impede the driver's view, controls or movement when installed in the vehicle. Choose a position following vehicle guidance and local requirements. Not all cars are designed with a rearview mirror that is suitable. When considering the total hanging space, examine the cord and tassel and the paper card supplied.

If installing in a home or office, ask yourself if there are likely to be people bumping into the tassel or catching the card as they open a door or work around it. It is better to have some space for the product to hang freely, so that the decorative feature is better appreciated.

Check the Perfume on its own

The version presented is said to be "warm sandalwood" perfumed. That might be its red and gold look, but it's a matter of personal taste. Open up a sample that is complete and evaluate the fragrance in the intended environment and return to its sample after it has been used in normal circumstances.

ALSO REVIEW THE SCENT SEPARATELY FROM THE VISUAL REVIEW. For a specific market a buyer can enjoy the rotating mechanism, but want to try a different scent. AromaEase offers fragrance customization as one of the options they provide; any changes should be verified by a finished sample of the fragrance, not on a scent strip or artwork preview.

The freshener is used to add fragrance to an appropriate room. Even with its pretty design, what it can't do cannot be made to say: Don't offer it as a remedy for chronic dampness or as a solution to the other odor problem.

Keep Moving Parts in Packaging safe!

The inner disc, tassel and cord must be in place for use. Request a sample that is packed and open it like a customer would. Is the disc still able to rotate freely? Is the tassel tidy? Is it possible to separate the cord without disturbing the paper layers?

The gift presentation should also give the recipient an idea of the contents. A photograph or short description of a product can explain the rotating if the feature is not visible due to packaging. If it can be seen through a pack, test to see if the card maintains its position in normal use.

Customization for shape, scent, logo, packaging/gift box is listed on the product page. Ensure that the configuration that is being quoted is indeed what is being quoted, e.g. if an additional decorative feature requires a change in pack, ensure that it is. The inspection table shown below is a brief record for the completed sample.

Check and agree to the Final Product

View one sample prior to ordering that includes the selected artwork, fragrance, cord, tassel and packaging. Take a photo of the front and back, and write down the things to look for during production. There is no way to determine the look and the movement of the assembled rotating card with a loose print of paper.

AromaEase's custom service details the design and packaging areas if the design is going to be customized. To get terms for a particular version, send its purpose, desired modifications and quantity via its contact page.

Conclusion

This air freshener can be used as a scent and a traveling ornament. It's sandalwood scent should not be the only focus of its interest, its rotating center and cord ought to be as well. See and interact with a final product in the context where it will be used and sign off on the completed product when sold as a gift or decorative piece.
