Method: The study is both quantitative and qualitative. A triangulation will be applied consisting of interviews, survey and observations. The data were analyzed using selected theories. Results and conclusion: The result of the paper shows that sensory marketing, stimulation of the human five senses contribute to an increased positive attitude towards the brand. Application of sensory marketing is therefore a good way to differentiate itself from competitors.
