Music Curation
Why is music curation so important?
Within 1.4 nanoseconds of stepping into your environment, customers are making decisions about your brand based on the sounds they hear – every beat of your playlist matters.
The benefits
How does curated music benefit your business?
Authentically curated background music works in harmony with your business. Dwell times increase; your profits do too.
Signature sounds better
Studies show that when the music fits an environment, it creates a cinematic effect. Music fills in experience gaps and heightens overall engagement.
For the music to have this effect, it has to tell your brand story and your story only. Repurposed music from any playlist from another time and place feels random and generic. When your program is custom curated for your brand experience, it adds dimension and creates congruity. A more fully designed setting feels immersive, and people are more likely to relax, settle in and join the experience.
Meaningful is memorable
A meaningful brand experience is a memorable brand experience. If an environment already has a unique cultural code with a compelling story, music adds a deeper level to that narrative. Music provides more clues to help your customers decode the space.
It doesn’t matter if the music isn’t what they expected, or they’ve heard it before; the moment they connect the sonics to the story, the brand experience becomes meaningful. It becomes something even to brag about and revisit multiple times.
Superb design
Curation is a design process: every beat of an Activaire playlist is there for a reason. We’ve just seconds to convince customers they’re in the right place, and a handful of songs to make them stick around. The right track at the right time, a splash of curiosity, and a dash of mystery can seduce shoppers. We’re never afraid to experiment with selections that (carefully) push the boundaries: a little risk goes a long way.
We curate music: Expertly, Authentically, Cleverly, and Fearlessly.
Scheduling matters
Your brand experience is alive: changing with the time of day, day of the week, and time of year. So we schedule playlists smartly, bringing the music to life in a way that makes sense, naturally, to you and your customers.
We can fine-tune your schedules, too. From data on your foot traffic, opening times, peak shopping hours, and customer demographics over different times in the day, we’ll create laser-focused schedules for your audience that are in tune, and right on time.
Music pathways
How we get it right?
We give multiple pathways into music particularly suited to your brand. Which include for example…
