When it comes to shopping, we all know that music can have a significant effect on our mood. Background music for shops and retail stores is an important factor when considering the overall customer experience. A study by the University of Windsor in Canada found that customers are more likely to spend money when they hear background music playing in the store. The research also revealed other interesting findings about how different types of songs impact spending habits- with fast tempo beats encouraging people to buy more items than slow tempo beats!
To play music in your store you need to have a licence. If you need any support making sure you are compliant please let us know.
Do I need a license to play music in my shop?
If you play music in your shop or business premises you will be required by law to have TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS. The payments received from business owners for TheMusicLicence then get passed on to composers, lyricists, recording artists, musicians, music publishers and record companies. Example: If you play music to customers on a shop floor (100 sqm or less), your combined yearly music licence for a retail shop could cost around £307 (excluding VAT). A 50% surcharge may be applied if music has been played before being correctly licensed.
Higher rates apply for larger premises.
