Music is more than background noise – it sets the tone for how customers feel and interact with a space. A new GEMA-backed study, conducted with over 200 businesses and leading research partners, provides solid evidence of how background music directly impacts revenue and atmosphere.
Key Findings
- +8% revenue in retail: Stores with curated music saw a measurable sales lift compared to a week without music.
- +5.4% revenue in hospitality: Restaurants, cafés, and bars reported similar growth
- Stronger customer experience: Guests stayed longer, felt more comfortable, and were more engaged.
- Team motivation: Employees reported feeling more energized and connected to their workplace.
- Industry standard: Most decision-makers already see music as essential to their brand and operations.
Backed by respected research partners like Ipsos and GfK, this study shows that music is a proven business tool, not just decoration.
