Getting your fragrances into the hands of customers requires smart marketing
But with so many platforms and strategies, where do you begin? If you're unsure which platform is right for you, our blog on choosing the right ones might help. Now, let’s dive into the real stuff!
Here are social media tips to help your fragrance brand stand out, connect with your audience, and grow - plus real-world post examples you can copy and use!
1. Showcase the Story Behind Your Scents
Awesome example by Carol from New York! The owner of the NetteNYC fragrance brand shares her story about how it all began, as shown above.
Perfume is deeply personal - each fragrance carries a story, inspiration, and emotion. Use social media to share that story! Create posts about the ingredients, creative process, or the emotions a scent evokes.
2. Leverage Influencer Marketing
Above, micro-influencer Charlie Scents shares a short review of The Harmonist fragrance - an excellent example of how influencer collaborations can create authentic engagement.
Partnering with influencers like Charlie allows you to showcase your products in a relatable way. Encourage them to share personal experiences, scent notes, or how the fragrance fits into their lifestyle. Authentic storytelling builds trust and boosts brand awareness!
3. Use Video Content to Engage Your Audience
In the video above, Chasing Scent, a small perfume business from Australia, is preparing a restock order for their stockist in Taiwan. Their caption cleverly asks, "Where do you shop for perfumes?"
Videos capture attention and convey emotions powerfully
Videos capture attention and convey emotions powerfully. Create short videos that showcase the fragrance application, behind-the-scenes moments, or customer reactions to your scents.
4. Tap Into the Power of Scent Descriptions
The beauty and happiness coach Christina Ribel has created her own fragrance brand, Christina Ribel No1, and described her product with beautiful words, highlighting the addition of grapefruit in the fragrance. A great example of a post that effectively describes the scent.
Use vivid and compelling words to describe your scents
Since customers can’t smell your perfumes through a screen, use vivid and compelling words to describe your scents. Engage their imagination and emotions, making them feel connected to the fragrance even before they experience it.
5. Educate Your Audience
Anin from Indonesia educates her audience on how to apply fragrance by offering quick tips and smoothly guiding them to where they can find her store, as seen above.
Teach your followers about fragrance notes, longevity tips, and how to layer perfumes for a unique signature scent. Position your brand as an expert in the field, building trust and encouraging customers to explore your offerings.
6. Post Consistently and Engage With Your Audience
Scheduled posts in Hookle App
Posting regularly keeps your brand visible. Create a content calendar and engage with comments and messages to build a loyal community.
Use social media management apps to schedule posts in advance
To take it a step further, use social media management apps like Hookle above, to schedule posts in advance and keep your feeds active. A good practice is to set aside time weekly to plan and schedule content for the coming weeks or even months. This ensures consistent engagement without the stress.
7. Create Seasonal Campaigns
Above is a great example from Jo Malone London, a small perfume brand, showcasing a simple yet effective limited-edition campaign featuring products included in the collection.
Match your content with seasons or holidays to make it more relevant and engaging. Limited-edition seasonal scents can create urgency and boost sales.
