How does music in a shop immediately influence the customer experience?
It is hard to imagine the average shop without music these days. Whether you are walking through a supermarket, a department store, a boutique or a DIY store, there is almost always music playing. That is no coincidence, because music plays a crucial role in the customer experience. Choosing the right music can have an enormous influence on your customers’ behaviour. In this article, Backsound tells you more about the importance of music in your shop and how you can use it to influence your customers positively.
Increased sales
Music can have a subtle but powerful influence on customers’ buying behaviour. Various studies show that the right music can make customers stay in the shop longer and even spend more. Ideal for a jeweller, for example. This effect is linked to the atmosphere that music creates and the way it influences customers’ mood. Faster music, on the other hand, keeps customers moving through more quickly; well suited to busy moments in supermarkets or fast-food restaurants, for example.
Improving the shopping experience
Music contributes directly to the atmosphere in a shop and can make the overall shopping experience more pleasant. The right choice of music can help customers relax and feel welcome, which encourages them to stay in the shop longer. Calm jazz in a chic boutique or modern pop in a youthful fashion shop both evoke specific feelings that customers associate with the brand and the shop in question. At the same time, this strengthens your shop’s brand identity and, with it, your customers’ own sense of identity.
