Choose Trust Over Trends: Building Natural Retail That Lasts with Liza Docken
Aromatherapy can be more than a pretty scent—it can be a reliable wellness tool and a powerful retail differentiator. We sat down with Pranarōm’s national educator, Liza Dawkins, to unpack how safety, sourcing, and smart training turn essential oils into solutions customers can trust. From countering social media hype to using batch testing and Certificates of Analysis, we share practical steps to elevate credibility without slipping into fear or elitism.
We explore the tug‑of‑war between online convenience and in‑store experience, then show how to win on both fronts. Teach your team to ask outcome‑based questions and offer cross‑department solutions that pair aromatherapy with herbs, supplements, and grocery staples. Learn why diffusion still counts as systemic exposure, how oxidation undermines safety, and when a smaller bottle is actually the better buy. You’ll hear specific ways to position therapeutic blends next to sinus, stress, and sleep sets, and how to use subtle, high‑quality scent to anchor memory and comfort inside your store.
Seasonal marketing comes alive here: meet customers where they are with timely content and micro‑workshops that translate to real‑world results. We also talk transparency—organic standards, constituent profiles, ethical sourcing—and how to honor local makers who do the work even if they can’t afford every seal. If you want to build trust over trends, keep your staff longer, and create a store that people choose for guidance as much as goods, this conversation gives you tactics to start tomorrow.
