Music is the pulse of your store.
First impressions happen at the speed of sound. We make it simple with human-curated playlists, automatically dayparted to your foot traffic, and fully licensed.
Shoppers remember how a store feels.
Music sets the scene, the energy, and your brand's credibility the moment a customer steps inside. Don't leave that atmosphere to chance with uninspired programming, generic playlists, or awkward silence.
The music sets pace, mood, and brand credibility before a shopper touches a single item.
A well-paced sales floor extends browsing time instead of rushing people to the register or out the door.
Shoppers who feel comfortable in a space buy more, and comfort starts with what it sounds like.
Human curators build entrance-to-checkout sound, matched to your merchandise.
Entrance, floor, fitting rooms, and checkout, dayparted from one dashboard.

Questions retailers actually ask us.
Does in-store music actually affect sales?+
Yes. Congruent music (matching brand identity and product category) is associated with longer dwell time and higher basket size; tempo also shapes browsing pace and checkout-line perception.
Do retail stores need a music license?+
Yes. Playing music in a retail space requires public-performance licensing from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR. Consumer streaming apps are not licensed for commercial use.
Can different areas of the store play different music?+
Yes. Curator Now runs independent zones, entrance, fitting rooms, and checkout can each have their own scene, managed from one dashboard.
How does dayparting work for retail traffic patterns?+
Set a schedule once: calmer energy during slow morning hours, upbeat energy during peak foot traffic, and a wind-down scene near closing. Curator Now handles every transition automatically.
Can a retail chain manage every store centrally?+
Yes. Enterprise plans include a fleet dashboard for pushing scenes and campaigns across every store from a single login, keeping brand sound consistent chain-wide.
