Should my store start a radio station?

Retailers are discovering that internet radio can significantly improve the shopping experience and drive sales.

  • Tailored Playlists: Curate music selections that align with your brand, target demographic, and specific times of day, creating the perfect ambiance.
  • Dynamic Promotions: Easily update and schedule promotional messages to run throughout the day, highlighting different products or offers.
  • Reduced Licensing Costs: Often, operating your own internet radio station can be more cost-effective than traditional commercial music licensing.
  • Customer Loyalty: A well-designed in-store radio station can contribute to a positive customer experience, encouraging repeat visits.

Increase revenue & sales

Spending behaviour is linked to customer moods, which surprisingly can be influenced with the right type of background music.

Playing slow lingering sounds can encourage customers to take their time shopping and buy more in-store, subconsciously slowing down to browse and spend an increased amount of time in your store.

There are two main ways that your station can help generate more revenue and increase sales:

  • Influence Shopping Behaviour: Dedicated online in-store radio allows you to subtly influence your customer's buying habits by promoting in-store deals through catchy jingles and the right tone of music.
  • Advertisement Investment: Local or global businesses want to get noticed, especially to an audience that has money to spend, so they will pay top price to advertise their goods and services on your station.

Store brand awareness

Customers buy products from familiar places that they know and trust, so building a strong brand through the power of radio can be a great way to put your store at the forefront of shopper’s minds.
