Never Underestimate the Power of Holiday Background Music
Holiday music has the potential to put people in the right buying mood if used correctly.
Considering that holiday spending can generate as much as 30% of retailers’ sales each year, it’s important to put some thought into creating the perfect Holiday shopping experience.
Study after study shows that Holiday music sparks positive memories and a happy mood – which keeps shoppers in your store longer leading to increased sales.
Our team of radio and music industry professionals are experts in selecting, screening and programming Holiday music profiles and playlists aimed at specific audiences.
When to Start and Stop Playing Holiday Music
When it comes to Holiday background music in a retail environment, striking the right balance and not overloading shoppers is the key.
Our Music Managers typically recommend gradually increasing the amount of Holiday music as the season progresses: Less Holiday music at first… slowly increasing until the majority of the music, if not all, is festive!
Seasonal Music Profiles and different music settings can easily be scheduled in advance to start on specific dates – and no less important, automatically stop after Christmas Day and revert back to your regular music profile.

Tips to Make Your Holiday Season a Success
1. Playing 100% Holiday music may seem a good idea at first, but it’s important to…
2. Make sure the amount and type of Holiday music is right for your audience. Play Holiday music that matches your store’s brand and regular music mix. But if your shoppers expect 100% Holiday Classics… GO FOR IT!
3. Consider the pace and energy. Faster-paced music tends to move customers through the store more quickly while a gentle, slow-paced song is more likely to make them linger a while longer and spend more money.

Holiday Music Fun Facts
In 2009, PRS For Music estimated that 42% of the Earth’s population had heard Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’.
According to Guinness World Records, the first song ever played in space was ‘Jingle Bells’ on December 16, 1965. It was part of a prank, as astronauts Walter Schirra and Tom Stafford claimed the music was coming from a strange, flying object that looked a lot like Santa Claus.
There are more than 400 registered cover versions of ‘Last Christmas’. Even big-name singers like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Rita Ora and Gwen Stefani made their own versions of the 1984 Wham! classic.
Brenda Lee was just 13 years old when she recorded the original version of ‘Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree’. The song was written in 1958 by Johnny Marks, who also wrote ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ and ‘A Holly Jolly Christmas’.
Bing Crosby’s version of ‘White Christmas’ is the best-selling physical single of all time, with estimated sales of over 50 million copies.
