Considering Custom Music for Retail? Here are some frequently asked questions to help you better understand this powerful communication tool.
How do I choose the right music for my retail business?
It is important that you have a clear strategy in place when choosing the right music for your retail business. As the world’s leading provider of music licensing for business and experts in playlist curation, Mood Media can help you to identify the songs, artists, genres, and ambient sounds that will appeal to your target customer and reflect your brand identity. Once you have a sonic branding framework in place, you can curate a playlist of on-brand licensed tracks that can be deployed cross-channel.
Can I customize the music for my business?
You can work with a music supervisor and composer to create custom music for your business or build a curated playlist of existing tracks that are in tune with your brand.
Do I need a music license for my retail stores?
If you would like to use music in your stores or in your brand marketing, you will need to make sure it is licensed. You can negotiate licensing fees for an individual track, sonic logo, or original composition, or invest in a music library that only offers fully licensed or royalty-free songs you can use without fear of legal difficulties.
