North Carolina: First in Scented Billboards, Too

Link to June 3 Charlotte Observer article:  "Eau de marketing, with hint of pepper".

Excerpt: The Bloom grocery chain, part of Salisbury-based Food Lion, hopes to catch shoppers by the nose by wafting black pepper and charcoal smells from the base of a sign along River Highway (N.C. 150) in Mooresville.

And though businesses have been employing specialized aromas to boost sales and create ambiance for years, this, it appears, is a different frontier - one designed to cut through the clutter that commuters encounter every day
.

Can't afford a billboard?   Try this!
