Abstract: In the luxury industry, multisensory marketing as a basis for value creation and unique experiences is increasingly gaining in importance. Luxury hotels in particular may apply various sensory stimuli to stand out from competition and provide memorable stays. The study confirms all stated causal relationships between multisensory marketing, brand experience, customer perceived value, brand perception and consumer behaviour, using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results reveal visual, acoustic and gustatory perception to be the most effective sensory drivers and financial aspects to be the most relevant value driver. The findings further show that multisensory marketing is most effective in creating experiences when linked to relevant values. Finally, brand experience and customer perceived value are most powerful in affecting consumer behaviour via a positive brand perception.
