Music In Bars
Swift half?
Choosing a soundtrack
So you’ve decided you need music, but in the age of streaming services and unlimited access to every kind of music, how do you decide on the right songs? There’s more to consider than just the tunes – there’s also the tempo, the volume.
Are your playlists aiming to provide background music or make a statement? Are you serving food at different times? Do you want to encourage your customers to sit or stand? Do you change your music when a quiet, wet Wednesday afternoon sees an influx of customers and suddenly the ambience needs to feel a bit more like a party?
HOW WE CAN HELP
This is where 8track Music comes in. We understand hospitality; how each bar or pub has its own unique selling points and a reason why customers enjoy spending time there. We use this knowledge to make music playlists that fit, to engage and retain customers.
Perhaps you have some playlists you’ve put together, and they work, but you need more – to build upon the sound you’ve created, and expand your music library as the business grows and you’re needed elsewhere. We can help, adding to these playlists with fresh releases and freeing up your time, whilst remaining true to your vision.
Tops Tips For BARS
A successful music library will boost the whole bar experience, so always remember your overall vision when choosing a music policy. We all love music and have our own personal taste, but a great playlist is about what makes the whole bar experience works, engaging customers and staff alike – as well as adding to your specific environment.
A good playlist shouldn’t dip in and out, but flow. This can be tricky to master. Lesser known tracks work best – hit after hit of popular music can be distracting and actually drive customers away.
