Frequently Asked Questions
Considering Custom Music for hospitality? Here are some frequently asked questions to help you better understand this powerful communication tool.
How do I choose the right music for my hotel?
It is important that you have a clear strategy in place. As the world’s leading provider of music licensing for business and experts in program curation, Mood Media can help you to identify the songs, artists, genres, and ambient sounds that will appeal to your target guest and reflect your brand identity. Once you have a sonic branding framework in place, you can curate a program of on-brand licensed tracks that can be deployed cross-channel.
Can I customize the music for different zones?
Yes. You can work with a music supervisor to create distinct custom programs for your lobby, spa, bar, and pool areas, ensuring the vibe is always appropriate for the space and time of day.
Do I need a music license for my properties?
If you would like to use music in your properties 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 from PROs.
