Recent interview with Peter Coratto the editor from Vitamin Retailer, Dec., 2005
In your mind, what is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the use of expertly blended pure essential oils in order to positively effect the body and the mind.

What are the benefits of aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy enhances one's quality of life by bringing about physiological and emotional changes.

What should retailers look for and what questions should ask in purchasing aromatherapy products?
True aromatherapy employs pure essential oils; the highly concentrated and volatile plant extracts. The essential oils are chosen and combined for their effect on a particular condition or emotion. While many products are aromatic by virtue of using fragrances and perfumes, essential oils are chosen for their effect, not for their scent.

How can retailers get customers interested in these products?
Customers require hard working, beneficial products that do their body good but they want yummy, luscious smelling products that are fun to use. Retailers in the know are wise to promote products that produce fast results pleasurably. Do not attempt to sell aromatherapeutic products to customers who worry about allergies on products with essential oils. Allergic people are more comfortable purchasing unscented herbal or homeopathic products.

In what ways would you suggest retailers to merchandise aromatherapy products?
Stores are always welcome to call their favorite medicinal aromatherapy manufacturers and request supporting sales literature and trial sized samples.
