Could your in-store music be costing you sales? In our study with UK charity retailer DEBRA, music genre alone accounted for around one third of all variation in daily revenue, without changing stock, pricing, layout, or staffing. The right soundtrack kept customers in-store longer and spending more. The wrong one made no impression at all. Join us on 23rd June to see the data and take away something practical for your business.

Changing music in your multi-site retail or hospitality business doesn’t just change the atmosphere, it changes behaviour… and our numbers prove it. In our 21-day study with UK charity retailer DEBRA, customers lingered longer, browsed more closely, and spent more when the right music was playing.
