Today, to remain attractive and improve the consumer experience, sound marketing is emerging as an innovative and effective solution. Neglected for too long, sound is now becoming a strategic element in building the customer experience.
A sensory tool at the heart of the consumer experience
When we talk about the in-store experience, we often think of everything that relates to the visual aspect, including the layout, the colors, the lighting, and even the decoration. This is certainly part of the customer journey, but sound marketing , or the art of using music to create an atmosphere, also proves to be a powerful lever of influence . And this is still too often neglected...
Sound marketing acts directly on the subconscious, altering emotions and, by extension, influencing purchasing decisions. This is part of a broader trend in sensory marketing , which focuses on activating the five senses to create a strong emotional connection between the consumer and the brand. Among these senses, hearing is one of the most impactful , as it operates continuously, without requiring conscious attention.
Why sound marketing is gaining ground
Several factors explain this:
- Saturation of visual media (posters, screens, etc.): consumers are over-solicited visually.
- Changing customer expectations : the overall ambiance of a place matters as much as the product.
- The rise of technology : which makes it possible to broadcast a coherent musical ambiance, adapted to the place, the time or even the crowd.
A direct influence on emotions and behavior
Behind a pleasant atmosphere often lies a well-thought-out strategy. Music at the point of sale is not a matter of chance . It's not just a matter of musical taste; it's a measurable strategic lever.
Several studies conducted in the fields of psychology and marketing have demonstrated the direct impact of music on customers:
- A slow pace encourages relaxation, time spent in the store, and therefore impulse buying.
- Moderate volume improves the perception of comfort.
- A musical style consistent with the brand identity reinforces the perceived image.
A well-controlled sound environment helps create a climate of trust and well-being , and we believe this is an essential condition for encouraging visitors to stay longer... and to consume.
Ultimately, it's a virtuous circle: the more pleasant the experience, the more the average basket can increase.
Sound automation, the comfort of intelligent piloting
Another key dimension comes into play: sound automation . Thanks to current technologies, it is now possible to:
- Schedule different playlists for different days and times.
- Automatically adapt the sound ambiance to the flow of visitors.
- Remotely manage one or more stores from a single interface.
Sound automation frees teams from any technical constraints. It guarantees effortless musical coherence , while ensuring a consistently controlled atmosphere.
