Recruit Co Ltd, a Japanese company is using a new form of advertising in the hopes of attracting customers to the restaurants and cafes that are located in the underground subways systems within Tokyo.
The principal behind the new method is to have an advertisement play on a 42 inch LCD screen to capture the attention of commuters. As commuters view the ads, the LCDs will emit an aroma, which will reflect the advertisement being played. The hope is that the combination of the visual and the aroma will lead customers to the nearby restaurants, thereby increasing business for them.
