Why is Background Music for Grocery Stores So Important?

Background music is important in grocery stores because it can influence shopper behavior and enhance the overall customer experience. Research suggests that appropriate music selection can affect the pace of shopping, encourage longer shopping trips, and influence purchasing decisions. One University of Bath study found that music can cause grocery shoppers to spend over 10% more than typical, but only Monday through Thursday.

Another study found that shoppers’ liking of the background music in a supermarket led to longer time spent shopping, which indirectly increased spending.

Lastly, background music can create a pleasant atmosphere, improve mood, and make the shopping environment more enjoyable for customers, ultimately leading to increased sales and customer satisfaction, which in turn can lead to store and brand loyalty.

Transform your supermarket into an enjoyable shopping destination with Pandora CloudCover, the premier music streaming service designed to enrich the shopping experience.

Case Studies

Coffee Company Brews Up Good Vibes With Custom Music Station

This coffee retailer is streaming a custom CloudCover station to more than 450 of their stores every day. They wanted to match their background music with their quirky, fun-loving brand. So we worked with them to build a custom music station that reflects their positive energy. After a full brand sound analysis by our professional music curation team, we hand-selected every song in their new station, which gets updated every week with new tracks. Now their employees are brewing up great coffee with a huge smile on their faces. And customers are loving it too.
