Congratulations, and welcome!
You are right there is something to it. A local grocery store chain in Richmond positions their bakery near the front entrance so you are greeted by the smell of fresh baked bread every time you enter. Also, we just visited our state fair and noticed that one of the BBQ vendors aimed their exhaust vents toward the crowds instead of out toward the back of thier booth like most of the others. They were doing a brisk business.

I liked the vanilla in the microwave thing but the leftover cookies probably taste better.
