Background Music Services Review

Background Music Services (a.k.a. in-store music) provide businesses with audio/music and messaging solutions. Most providers offer digital music and messaging solutions through a host of web-based management tools and deliver the content via the Internet, satellite communications, and / or physical CDs. Background Music Services can be utilized via many customer touch points including “in-store” music and “on-hold” music for telephone inquiries. Additionally, Background Music Services provide a legal means to broadcast music to customers and ensure all music copyright holders are compensated. Over the past few years, Background Music Services has evolved considerably, with providers offering advanced features as customized programming to suit each customer’s unique brand, timed/by-store programming and near real-time messaging options. Background Music services allow companies to build their in-store experience through music and create targeted advertising and promotions while shopping or while on hold.
