Scent meets screen. Multi-sensory signage.
Synchronise commercial scent diffuser systems with your digital signage content. Trigger specific fragrances when matching visuals appear on screen to create immersive, multi-sensory brand experiences.
Digital signage you can smell.
The Hangar.Media scent marketing integration connects commercial scent diffuser hardware to your digital signage content schedule. When a coffee promotion appears on screen, the coffee aroma activates. When a spa advertisement plays, lavender fills the area. Content triggers and scent profiles are managed from a single dashboard, creating coordinated multi-sensory experiences.
What you can do with Multi-sensory signage.
Three capabilities that make this integration essential for your digital signage network.
Scent triggers linked to screen content
Associate specific scent profiles with specific content items in your playlist. When the content plays on screen, the connected diffuser activates the matching fragrance. The coordination creates a powerful multi-sensory impression that dramatically increases brand recall.
Customers smell the bakery promotion before they read the sign.
Per-content-item scent profile assignment
Adjustable scent intensity and duration settings
Fade-in and fade-out timing for smooth transitions
Independent scent zones throughout your venue
Control scent diffusers independently across different zones in your venue. The entrance gets an energizing citrus blend, the spa area receives calming lavender, and the restaurant zone delivers warm baked bread aromas. Each zone syncs with the screens in that area.
Every zone has its own atmosphere, curated by sight and scent.
Independent zone control for multi-area venues
Per-zone scent profiles with unique fragrance selections
Zone scheduling for time-of-day scent changes
Compatible with major scent hardware brands
Hangar.Media integrates with leading commercial scent diffuser brands through their APIs and control protocols. Whether you use HVAC-connected systems, standalone diffusers, or nebulizing units, the integration manages scent delivery through a unified dashboard.
One dashboard controls both what they see and what they smell.

Common questions. Straight answers.
Which scent hardware brands are supported?
Hangar.Media supports integration with ScentAir, Prolitec, AromaTech, Air Aroma, and other commercial scent diffuser systems that offer API or network control. Contact Hangar.Media to confirm compatibility with your specific hardware.
Can scent be triggered by time of day instead of content?
Yes. You can schedule scent profiles by time of day independent of screen content. Morning energizing scents, afternoon calming blends, and evening warm fragrances can run on their own schedule while screens show separate content.
How do you prevent scent overlap between zones?
Each zone operates its own diffuser independently. Physical zone separation and HVAC airflow patterns manage scent containment. Hangar.Media also supports scent clearance intervals between fragrance changes within a single zone.
Does scent marketing really impact customer behaviour?
Research consistently shows that ambient scenting increases dwell time, improves brand recall, and enhances perceived product quality. Multi-sensory experiences that combine visual and olfactory stimuli create significantly stronger memory associations than visual alone.
