Golden Scent’s ongoing success has been strengthened by its highly engaged customers, due to the high level of brand trust and loyalty. The brand enjoys 40% market share in the region.
The company is now poised for breakaway growth in the coming three years capitalising on its decade-long success. What’s more, Golden Scent has recently raised funding to fuel its ambitious growth.
