Music is an incredibly effective branding tool, but also very subjective, therefore it can be problematic for your brand if employees play their own selected playlist.

How does the music you play in your business effect your sales?
According to research it it not recommended to let your employees select their own music. This is easy to avoid if you use a professional music consultant for your B2B in-store music streaming service. This would help you keep your customers in your store as well as it enhances their shopping experience.
"Research shows that when employees have the opportunity to influence in-store music, sales decreased by 6%. The negative effect was most pronounced for sales of women’s clothing, which showed a decrease in sales of 11%."
(Daunfeldt, Moradi, Rudholm, Öberg)
