Benefits of Music
Music can be an essential tool for any business, from maximising customer engagement and retention, to reducing employee stress and improving productivity, and defining your brand and helping you stay above the competition.
Playing music can completely change the
atmosphere of a business. Creating an
uplifting environment and a welcoming feel
and make the experience more positive,
engaging and memorable.
Branding is important – and exciting!
There’s lots to consider but music could make
a big difference. Carefully curated playlists
that relate to your business can distinguish
your brand – especially compared to
competitors that don’t play music.
From reducing stress and improving
cognitive performance, to encouraging and
inspiring creativity, the power of music is
truly amazing. 88%2 of employees agreed
that music can create a calmer environment
and help alleviate stress and anxiety.
Music has the power to bring us together.
Whether using music to connect retail staff
with customers, helping employees’ bond
with their employers, or creating a positive
morale boost throughout a team, the social
benefits of music are powerful and longlasting.
Music has a big impact on employee
engagement and retention…the teams are
in there as much as our guests are, so they
enjoy that atmosphere and it helps them
connect with the brand they are working in.”
