LE TERRE DEI SAVOIA

The project

 

A cross-border survey carried out in Piedmont and Haute-Provence highlighted many high quality producers. While results emphasized the strengths of local craftsmanship and the use of natural raw materials, aligning products to contemporary market tastes through marketing strategies shaped by large buyers’ logics remains a challenge. SMEs are rarely able to blend tradition and novelty. Officina Aromataria was born to address these gaps, a network dedicated to innovation and quality products

ACTIVITIES

The activities were bidirectional: the defense of tradition, through new Production Regulations for craft products, and improving current offerings, by expanding product range and implementing targeted communication plans.

In particular, given the importance of perfumes and fragrances, promotional strategies make use of olfactory marketing, known as Sell with Smell, as an effective promotional tool.

Partnership

 

The project gave birth to an Italian-French synergy which produced significant local socio- economic benefits (exchange of good practices and knowledge) and cross-border benefits, such as the integration of traditional territorial excellences.
Le Terre dei Savoia was the lead partner and worked together with the association Pays de Haute-Provence, the Communauté de Communes Pays de Forcalquier and Montagne de Lure and FranceAgriMer.
