Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of advertising creative design on perfume market sales performance, focusing on the effects of distinct market positioning for commercial fragrances, niche fragrances, and high-end salon fragrances. It further explores the interrelationship between advertising expenditure, brand strategy, naming techniques, and Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI). Examining fragrance industry statistics from 2020 to 2025 reveals that major perfume houses leverage extensive advertising campaigns and celebrity endorsements to elevate brand image and drive sales. Independent fragrance producers primarily rely on targeted social media promotions, strong word-of-mouth, and creative advertising displays. Mid-priced salon fragrances emphasize artisanal craftsmanship and distinctive artistic appeal, employing personalized marketing strategies to attract premium customer segments. Applying principles of advertising elasticity and diminishing marginal returns, the study explains why different perfume brands allocate advertising budgets differently and analyzes the impact of e-commerce platforms and online advertising on the fragrance industry. Research indicates that in Western mainstream markets, advertising efficiency for commercial fragrances may decline once spending reaches a certain threshold. Conversely, niche products like salon fragrances often exhibit superior return on investment due to lower advertising costs and higher brand loyalty.
